Longest Night, Steady Light

from Knowing God With Heart and Mind Hosted by Dan Sinkhorn

On the winter solstice, this message acknowledges the pain and grief many feel during the holiday season and invites the congregation to sit with one another in presence rather than offering empty words. The preacher emphasizes that grief is a natural response to permanent change, that God is present in our sorrow, and that the light of Christ offers enduring hope even through the longest nights.
