How to Grieve Without Losing Hope and Face Death with Resurrection Confidence
📖 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 reminds us that Christian grief is never without hope.
In this message from our series Living with Hope:What Is Authentic Gospel Ministry, we explore the powerful truth that because Jesus died and rose again, we too can face death with confidence and eternal hope. Whether you are navigating personal loss or comforting someone who is, this message provides a gospel-centered framework for processing sorrow through the lens of resurrection.
We answer questions like:
👉What happens when a believer dies? 👉What is the “last trumpet” and the “last day” Jesus spoke of? 👉How do we face death and grief without fear?
Drawing from Scriptures like Daniel 12:13, Job 19:25–27, John 6:40, and 1 Corinthians 15:52–58, we see that the resurrection is not just a doctrine — it’s our destiny.
💡 Key Takeaway: We grieve honestly, but with hope — because those who trust in Christ will be raised and caught up together to be with the Lord forever.
📯 The trumpet will sound. Jesus will return. Death will be reversed. And we will always be with the Lord.
👉 Be encouraged. Be equipped. Let your grief point to the Gospel.
