Grief is one of the few things every person will experience. But for many of us, it comes with unanswered questions: Where are our loved ones now? Are they safe? Will we ever see them again?

In this message, we walk through 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, a passage often used to scare people about the end times, but originally written as a word of comfort to a grieving church.

This sermon explores why the return of Jesus is not a threat to dread, but a hope to hold. A promise that death is not the end of the story and that love will one day be restored in the presence of Christ.

Whether you are walking through loss right now or simply need a reminder that God is not finished with your story, this message will help you breathe again, believe again, and rest in the hope of the resurrection.

Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.
