The Faith of Grief- 5/31/26

All loss needs to be grieved.In this message from Indy Vineyard Church, Pastor Adam Kasel, explores grief as a natural and unavoidable part of life and examines how Jesus modeled healthy grief in the Garden of Gethsemane. Drawing from Matthew 26, Adam reflects on the importance of naming our emotions, inviting others into our pain, and bringing our honest requests to God in prayer.Joining the message, Scott McElroy, leader of the Creative Compassion Project, introduces the biblical practice of lament—an often-overlooked gift that allows us to bring sorrow, confusion, anger, and unanswered questions before God. Through teaching, reflection, and a guided lament exercise, this service invites us to discover how lament can become a pathway toward healing, authenticity, and deeper trust in God.Scripture: Matthew 26:36–46Part of the "Life to the Fullest" series on mental health and spiritual well-being.
