What do we do when life feels overwhelming, and unresolved grief weighs heavy on our hearts? In his poignant sermon, Shawn Green takes us on a journey through the raw and honest practice of lamentation. By reflecting on the heartbreaking loss of his friend David and the emotional toll it has on him, Shawn invites us to acknowledge our own grief and explore how it manifests in unhealthy ways. Through Scripture, we learn that instead of numbing our pain or attempting to fix our emotions, God calls us to feel them, bringing our whole selves into His presence. This healing process, like that modeled by Jesus as He wept over Jerusalem, teaches us that lament is not merely an expression of sorrow, but a pathway that leads us to trust and hope amid despair. Shawn emphasizes that while grief is a natural response to loss, it need not dictate our lives—through lamentation, we can process our pain and find strength to walk with God. As we prepare to practice this together in worship, Shawn urges you to confront what burdens your heart and to seek the comfort that only God can provide. Don’t miss this vital message that could transform your journey of faith.
