Rather than telling people experiencing grief to ignore it, Jesus encouraged them to experience it fully. He encouraged those to embrace their grief and fully feel it, even to be blessed by it. This was a significant shift in the time of Jesus, as much as it is today and it's something that we need to embrace in this new reality we face.

About this sermon series All The Feels:

This year has brought us crisis, upheaval, and uncertainty in ways many of us have never experienced. Our bodies and minds have responded with emotions like anxiety, sadness, and anger as we collectively grieve our losses. How do we hope amid this grief and loss? What do we do with the emotions we feel? What do we discover in the story of the people of God in similar times of uncertainty? During this sermon series, we will explore the landscape of these questions, and the intersection of our emotions and faith.
