What the Bible Says About Grief | Dr. Tom Pace Preaching | 01.18.2026

Summary

The sermon explores the theme of grief and loss, using personal stories and the biblical narrative of King David losing his son Absalom to illustrate how individuals can experience profound pain while still finding hope and joy through faith. The speaker shares two significant personal experiences of grief - the loss of an aunt and uncle in a plane crash and the death of a beloved youth group leader - to demonstrate the complex emotional journey of mourning. Ultimately, the message emphasizes that while grief fundamentally changes us, faith provides a pathway to continue experiencing happiness and meaning, even in the midst of profound loss.
