October 19, 2025 - A Time to Heal, Joining Jesus
This sermon opens a new series, “A Time to Heal,” focusing on grief as both a personal and communal experience. Pastor Ashley invites prayer that God be glorified through reflection and healing. Grief, they note, takes many forms—loss of loved ones, relationships, dreams, or stability—and affects everyone. Drawing from the story of Jesus weeping for Lazarus, the message shows that grief is not weakness but a shared human and divine experience. Jesus’ deep emotion reveals that outrage and compassion coexist in faithful mourning. Pastor Ashley urges embracing grief together, allowing it to connect us, heal us, and lead to new life in Christ.
