Blessed are Those Who Mourn

SERMON NOTES Through mourning, God transforms our grief into grace 1. Mourning the Weight of Sin (2 Cor. 7:10, Luke 6:25, Ps. 119:136) 2. The Promise of Comfort (Ps. 34:18, Eccl. 7:4, Rev. 21:4, Ps. 30:5) a) Gods Comfort is Personal b) Gods Comfort is Transformative c) Gods Comfort is Certain 3. Grief can become a Gift (Rom. 8:18, Isa. 35:10) For Further Reflection: What grief are you currently carryingand how might God be inviting you to bring it honestly into his presence? In what ways might mourningover personal sin, broken relationships, or the pain of the worldbe a doorway through which God is shaping your heart for his Kingdom? Where do you need to trust that Gods comfort is already at work in your grief, even if healing or resolution has not yet come?
