“Grief and Hope” // Minoka Yonts

A heartbreaking-but-universal part of the human experience is to lose someone we love. The people we love shape our identities and make us who we are.

In today’s sermon, we’ll consider the experience of loss through the lens of faith in a God who refuses to let death unravel us. If you have ever experienced a painful loss, this is for you.
