Sermons

In this sermon from the "Follow Me" series, Pastor Ashwin Ramani speaks on how God comforts us in our suffering. Jesus has not promised us a problem free, trouble free, carefree life, but we do have the promise of his presence and comfort. This sermon looks at the story of Mary, Martha, and Lazurus from John 11. Jesus gave Mary and Martha different answers in their grief over Lazurus's death. To Martha he spoke words of theological truth and to Mary he offered his comforting, empathetic presence. God gives us both of these answers in our suffering as well. We do not have a God who is unfamiliar with suffering, and he meets each of us where we are at.
