Finding God's Mercies in the Shadows of Grief

October 23, 2026

Summary

Grief comes for everyone, and it can leave us either bitter or tender. The book of Ruth opens in famine and death, with Naomi stripped of husband, sons, and future. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller shows how God meets us in every stage of grief. Discover why an empty “house of bread” became one of Scripture’s great redemption stories.

This is part one of the sermon, “Running To Reality.”
