  8. Jesus' Words Are Counter Cultural by saying, "there is a place for those who mourn in His Kingdom"

  9. Amos 6: 1-6 1 Woe to you who are complacent in Zion,    and to you who feel secure on Mount Samaria, you notable men of the foremost nation,    to whom the people of Israel come! 2 Go to Kalneh and look at it;    go from there to great Hamath,    and then go down to Gath in Philistia. Are they better off than your two kingdoms?    Is their land larger than yours? 3 You put off the day of disaster    and bring near a reign of terror.

  10. Amos 6: 1-6 4 You lie on beds adorned with ivory    and lounge on your couches. You dine on choice lambs    and fattened calves. 5 You strum away on your harps like David    and improvise on musical instruments. 6 You drink wine by the bowlful    and use the finest lotions,    but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph. 7 Therefore you will be among the first to go into exile;    your feasting and lounging will end.

  11. Our Kings Traits Where profound Loss is, God is there! He draws near to us to experience with us! Isaiah 53:3 II Corinthians 1:3-4

  12. Isaiah 53:3 3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faceshe was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

  13. II Corinthians 1:3-4 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

  14. Our Kings Traits Where profound Loss is, God is there! He draws near to us to experience with us! Where God Comforts, He brings strength to it! Psalm 30:11 Turned Mourning to Dancing

  15. If Jesus was that way? We too should be that way When Profound loss happens We are to run to it, not away from it!

  16. What’s Your Story? Dealt with loss. Dealing with loss. Time for us to stand together! God already is!
