About This Message

Walking through the deaths in Genesis 35 - Rebekah's nurse Deborah, Rachel in childbirth, and finally Isaac - Pastor Addison offers three comforts for grieving Christians: God draws near in loss, He can turn sorrow into strength, as Jacob renamed "son of my sorrow" to Benjamin, and He sometimes uses death to reconcile a family.

Key Takeaways

  • It's right to weep, but not to grieve without hope
  • God can turn a season of sorrow into lasting strength
  • Death, though hard, can be the occasion God uses to reconcile people
