We avoid pain and grief as much as possible. When faced with someone else’s grief, we avoid or offer platitudes. But the book of Lamentations invites us to sit with grief, to enter into the prophetic process of Lament. In this series, we’ll explore how to grieve and how to be a friend to the grieving.
Ultimately, we’ll see how the process of lament invites us to be agents of healing in the larger world.

The Sign for the Times
The Virgin Birth is a difficult belief to swallow for many in our contemporary world. But when we take a hard look at Isaiah's original prophecy we find surprising depths to what Matthew is doing with Jesus' birth story - depths that offer hope and meaning for a world that desperately craves peace. The Virgin Birth means that God is with us, and that changes everything.
