He's Not Done Yet

Mother’s Day is not simple for everyone. For some, it is a day of celebration. For others, it carries grief, loss, infertility, strained relationships, or painful memories.In Luke 7, Jesus encounters a widow from Nain who is walking behind the coffin of her only son. She does not ask Jesus for help. She does not make a speech. She is simply grieving. And Jesus sees her.This standalone message reminds us that God is present in the places we feel most alone, that Jesus sees people others overlook, and that God is able to redeem even what feels broken beyond repair. The miracle at Nain is not just a story about one mother and one son. It is a preview of the resurrection hope found in Jesus Christ.Discussion Questions1) Where in your life do you most need to remember that God is already present?2) What makes it difficult to believe that God truly sees you in your pain?3) How does Jesus’ compassion toward the widow of Nain challenge the way you view your own grief or the grief of others?4) What is the difference between God “fixing” something and God “redeeming” something?5) Who is one trusted person you could invite into what you have been carrying alone?
