Unexpected Grief (2/9/20)

Collapse: Finding God at the End of Me

Unexpected Grief

2 Kings 4:18-37 & Lamentations 2:10-13

 Life is more about how we approach it than what happens to us.  As believers, there is a Godly way to walk through the hard parts of life.   When we experience unexpected grief, God gives us a way through.

Foundational Biblical Truth:  God is the creator and giver of life. Death came as the result of sin.  (2 Kings 4:18-37)

 A Biblical Perspective on Grief: (Lamentations 2:10-13) 

• Grief is a Godly response to loss. (John 11:35)
• God enters into our grief. (Psalm 23:4, 56:8)
• Grief is a season that changes. (Psalm 30:5-12)
• Grief points us toward the hope of Christ. (John 11:33-44)

Final Thought: “But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:57)
