    Some see grief as something to get over with as quick as possible, but God wants to deepen us through it.

    Grief is typically treated as something to be "gotten over with" as soon as possible, or certain things are not seen as worthy of 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
