    Good Grief

    Contributed by Brady Boyd on May 25, 2023
     | 986 views

    The Bible is full of grief and grieving people. 2/3 of the Psalms are laments – grieving complaints against God.

    Good Grief May 28, 2023 John 11:32-35 NIV “When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was ...read more

    Most people aren’t good at expressing grief. Yet two-thirds of the Psalms are laments – grieving complaints against God. The Hebrew writers knew that the path of praise often went through the valley of mourning. So what happens when we grieve and mourn properly?

    Good Grief May 30, 2021 John 11:32-35 NIV “When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was ...read more

    Grief is good when shared with others.

    Good Grief Romans 9: 1 - 5 Intro: I ran across this prayer while I was preparing this sermon and I thought I would share it with you. “Dear God, So far today I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped, I haven’t lost my temper, I haven’t been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or over-indulgent. I’m ...read more

    Good Grief: Expressing Grief, Finding Grace Series

    Grief, suffering and loss are a part of the human experience. Although we don't grieve like those who have no hope, we do grieve. God gives us the biblical song of lament to help us express ourselves to God and receive His help.

    A. One day a homeowner cut down a large shade tree in their own yard, but the tree was so big it also provided a lot of shade in a neighboring yard owned by Joe and Marylou. 1. Joe’s wife, Marylou, was lamenting that the landscaping they had put in that area of their yard was designed for shade and ...read more

    For the disciples, the death of Jesus appeared to be the death of all their hopes and dreams, but those who lived through both Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday never doubted God again. Easter transformed them and the world.

    It is an oxymoron, but believe it or not the Bible says that grief can be good for us.

    GOOD GRIEF An oxymoron---Good used instead of saying God (something sought after) Grief (something we try to avoid) To be in heaviness; distressed; to be vexed Something bothers you, then it becomes a burden, it may continue a hang on and become a grief. Eph. 4:30 30 ...read more

    Lamentations speaks on behalf of those suffering as he reminds the Lord of how great is the grief experienced. He confesses that the judgement is deserved. In this, he provides a warning to those living in this present culture that they must not presume against the goodness of God.

    Grief touches each of us eventually. [1] Though we know we will experience grief as individuals, we sometimes need to be reminded that grief will consume the nation that turns from righteousness while embracing wickedness. Some might suppose that Christians will gloat when judgement at last comes ...read more

    Every Christian deals with loss and grief at some time during their life.

    Jesus Was Acquainted With Grief Series

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on May 7, 2024

    Jesus Christ was acquainted with grief. Every day in Roman-occupied Judea there would have been executions, and crucifixions just as Jesus suffered. Grief would have been all around.

    In the last post, I concentrated on Jesus being a man of sorrows, so this post will concentrate on Jesus being acquainted with grief. First of all, as always, I check to see what the Old Testament Hebrew words are to make sure that I am interpreting the prophet's words correctly. In this verse, ...read more

    Do you want your joy to be full? I have often wondered why at times I have no joy in prayer or in serving the Lord, it made me think about where my hope is, is it in people,in success or is in the Lord or am I hoping the Lord will answer my prayer the way I want Him to?

    John 16:16-24 (NASB) 16 “A little while, and you no longer are going to see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.” 17 So some of His disciples said to one another, “What is this that He is telling us, ‘A little while, and you are not going to see Me; and again a little while, and ...read more

    Both of our texts describe persecuted believers.Is persecution something that we should avoid or embrace? In a minute I will attempt to answer that question, but before I do let’s see what we can learn about persecution.

    Our Seasons Of Grief

    Here we try to understand how David coped with the loss of his best friend Jonathan. Through David’s reactions we are challenged to embrace our seasons of grief in ways that would show that we are relying on God rather than relying on ourselves.

    Opener: This week we reflect on David’s real life struggle with grief. With last week’s teaching on fear, and this week’s text focussed on the theme of grief it seems like we’re wading through some heavy waters aren’t we? But this is good for us. Because I firmly believe that we (as followers ...read more
