Message: “Grieving With Hope” from Pastor Joshua Mathew

In Week 3 of our After Life series, Pastor Joshua walks through 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18, reminding us that Christians grieve—but not without hope. Scripture teaches us that those who die in Christ are at rest in His presence, that death will one day be undone through resurrection, and that we will be reunited with one another and with the Lord forever. This message brings comfort to those carrying grief, clarity for those who fear death, and confidence in the promises of Jesus, who holds both our present and our future.
