    Mourning To Morning: Yes—it’s Ok

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 5, 2025
     | 380 views

    Life leaves us with memories—some warm us, and some wound us. If we spend our time looking back, we risk missing the new thing God is doing right in us.

    — THE PROBLEM: WHY WE KEEP LOOKING BACK Life leaves us with memories. Some of them warm us. Some of them wound us. And some of them quietly shape us long after the moment has passed. Most of us don’t notice how much time we spend replaying our lives. We replay conversations we wish had gone ...read more

    Multi Ethnic Bereavement

    Contributed by Davon Huss on Apr 30, 2017
     | 14,058 views

    I wrote this for a counseling class. It contains three parts: 1) Bereavement in religion 2) Bereavement in ethnic groups 3) Applications for pastoral and clinical counselors.

    To be used of the Lord to help those grieving is both satisfying and humbling. My personal prayer is that more mourners will be drawn to the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Christ is the only thing that can bring true and lasting comfort. Jesus said, “Blessed are those that mourn, for they ...read more

     | 19,183 views

    Have you ever stopped to wonder what could possibly bring tears to the eyes of God? Can you imagine the face of Jesus, moist with his own tears? Are they tears of weakness or of strength? Of fear or compassion?

    TITLE: JESUS WEPT SCRIPTURE: ST. JOHN 11:35 This is the shortest verse in the Bible -- “JESUS WEPT.” But for all its grammatical simplicity, it’s packed with unfathomable complexity. No book has a higher Christology, the study of Christ, than the Gospel of John. His persistent focus on ...read more

    The theodicy often centers on the question: If God is omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent, why does evil exist? Theodicy seeks to reconcile the existence of a good God with the reality of suffering and injustice in the world.

    THE HEART OF JESUS JOHN 11:1-44 #john11 INTRODUCTION We will be in John 11 this morning. There are some questions in this life we live for which we have absolutely no good answers.
