DEALING WITH HEARTACHE & GRIEF

John 16:16-33

 

  • LAST WORDS (John 16:16-33):
    • Your grief will turn to joy.

 

  • WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW (Isaiah 55:9, 1 Peter 4:12-13, Revelation 6:9-11, 1 Peter 1:6-7, Isaiah 42:3):
  1. It’s normal to be confused when God is at work.

 

2. In this fallen world, heartache and grief are unavoidable.

 

3. If we stick with Him, Jesus promised that our grief will be turned to joy.

 

4. Our faith is probably a lot weaker than we think.

 

5. God’s grace and mercy are always a lot greater than we think.
