New Life Downtown

Sadness is a normal and healthy response to losses of all kind. Yet, we struggle to express our grief, and want to make it simply go away. Drawing from Scripture, sociology, and stories of walking with friends dealing with loss, Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us give voice to our grief and to recognize Jesus weeping with us. In this participatory sermon that includes reflection, psalm-praying, and sing, we begin to see that because Jesus carried our griefs, sorrow will not have the last word.
