Grieving Over the Present

March 18, 2025 by Dr. Jeff Warren

In this message, we explore the profound purpose of grief in our spiritual journey. Drawing from Jesus’ words in John 16, we discover that our sorrows can be transformed into joy through the work of the Holy Spirit. The text reveals how Jesus prepared his disciples for his departure, promising them a greater gift – the indwelling presence of the Spirit. We’re challenged to shift our perspective on loss, seeing it as an opportunity for spiritual growth and deeper intimacy with God. This message reminds us that in Christ, our grief is temporary, but our joy will be eternal and unshakeable.
