Genesis 23 | Standing at the Graveside with Hope
Grief is unavoidable. Even for people of deep faith.
In Genesis 23, Abraham stands at the graveside of Sarah. He weeps. He negotiates. He buries. And in the middle of sorrow, he makes a stunning declaration of hope — not in circumstances, but in God’s promises.
This message reminds us that faith does not erase tears. It anchors them. We don’t grieve like people with no future. We grieve as people who believe God keeps His word — even in the valley of loss. If you’ve ever stood at a graveside, faced disappointment, or wondered how God’s promises hold up in pain, this sermon is for you.
