Centreville Presbyterian Church
Most years in life have a few tears in them. Join us this week with Assistant Pastor Paul Lauerman as we look at how Jesus does more than encourage us, He enters into our darkness and changes our story.
Isaiah 50:10 ESV
Fellowship of the Ring
One small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man. Eat little at a time, and only at need. For these things are given to serve you when all else fails..
Psalm 137:1, 4 ESV
Isaiah 50:6 ESV
Comfort #1: Our Savior Understands Suffering
Prayer in the Night
I needed words to contain my sadness and fear. I needed comfort, but I needed the type of comfort that does not pretend things are shiny and safe and right in the world. I needed a comfort that looked unflinchingly at loss and death
Mary Allerton
There is no time to grieve now, there is no time. There is only time for labor in the cold.

Comfort #2: Our Savior does not fear Suffering
Isaiah 50:8 ESV
Isaiah 50:4-5 ESV
Romans 8:33-35 ESV
Great Divorce
And yet all the loneliness, angers, hatreds, envies and itchings of the world, if rolled into one single experience and put into the scale against the least moment of the joy that is felt by the least in Heaven, would have no weight at all. All these miseries together are as if one drop of ink had been dropped into some Great Ocean to which the Pacific itself is only a molecule.
