Episode Synopsis

Sermon by Pastor Ben Williams In times of brokenness and grief, God is especially near to us. Psalm 34:18 reminds us that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted. Jesus exemplified this by weeping with Mary and Martha before raising Lazarus, showing that it's okay to grieve. Embracing love, as described in 1 Corinthians 13, is the path forward. Mature love is patient, kind, and allows people to be where they are without judgment. Practicing this love means giving space to those who are hurting and extending grace to others. Discover how to find comfort in brokenness and move forward through love in this powerful message.
