Blessed in Grief & Loving Our Enemies

In this All Saints Sunday sermon on Luke 6:20–36 (the Beatitudes and “love your enemies”), Pastor Nate proclaims the surprising promise that God meets us inside our grief. When words fail, Christ turns our lament into mercy that keeps singing through us—at hospital bedsides, at tables of compassion, and in communities that refuse to let neighbors go hungry. Drawing on Psalm 31 (“Into your hands…”) and the hymn For All the Saints, this message invites us to trust that blessing can emerge even in sorrow, and that Jesus’ love writes the next verse through our lives.
