When Life Hurts—by Ivor Botha
October 3, 2022
Sermon summary:
Psalm 23: Even when you walk through the darkest valleys (mental health, depression, anxiety, financial trouble, divorce, infidelity, death of a loved one, physical pain). Whatever your dark valley is, you've got to find Jesus in the midst of it all. God feeds and cares for you as a good shepherd. Listen for his voice and don't turn away from him.
Sipho, Max, and Aunty Joey shared their experiences When Life Hurts.

The perfect Father chooses mercy over judgment and connection over correction, and he celebrates repentance, calling us to reflect His love and grace.
Submission begins with surrender to God. Following Jesus' example, we lay down self-will, serve others in love, and trust his direction daily.
Jesus was full of grace and truth. Wisdom knows when to comfort, when to correct, and how to speak with love, discernment, and humility.
