In this episode, join us as Anthony Martin explores Jesus’ profound promise in John 16:16 –24 — a journey from grief to hope, sorrow to celebration. Jesus warns His disciples that they will experience deep sorrow (“a little while”), but reassures them with a powerful metaphor: like childbirth, pain leads to the joy of new life. This message offers timeless encouragement:

• Honest emotion: acknowledging our grief and confusion

• Divine promise: sorrow is temporary

• Enduring joy: resurrection power leads to lasting transformation

If you’re walking through loss, deep transitions, or spiritual dry seasons, this sermon invites you to lean into hope, knowing that God is birthing something beautiful in the midst of pain.

Tune in and be encouraged that in Christ, sorrow never has the final word — and joy is always within reach.

• Scriptural reflection on John 16:16 –24
