THE GOD WHO GRIEVES

The God Who Grieves is a sermon series that I preached in the latter part of 2012.  Since I use a manuscript when preaching, I have chosen to publish these manuscripts with a minimum of editing.  In this sermon series, I look at how God presents Himself, in the Bible, as a grieving God.  While this is oxymoronic to most Christians, because they have never considered Gods emotions as really being emotions, these sermons will help you see God through a different lens.  Although His ways and feelings may be as high above ours as the heavens are above the earth, they are indeed still ways and feelings.  You will see that it is Gods grief that allows Him to move from pain and weeping to forgiveness and compassion.
