    Message: Even Though I Walk Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death

    Hi there, pastor. If your ministry experience has been anything like mine has been lately, then you know sometimes church families can walk through the valley together.  When those times come, you may need to hit pause on your current sermon series and speak encouragement to the hearts of your congregation. Today's episode is a recording of a recent sermon I preached to encourage my congregation after experiencing the loss of loved ones over time and through this COVID trial.  I hope you'll listen in and be encouraged, too.  You're also more than welcome to use illustrations and anything else from this sermon to minister to your church family as well.  From time to time, I'll share more sermons here in addition to our regular format. Because sometimes sitting opposite the pulpit is exactly what our hearts need.  Many blessings to you, friend, as we strive to build His kingdom together. - Les
