Joy in the Middle of Sorrow | Pastor Simon Franklin

Can you really have joy in the middle of sorrow? Many of us quietly believe that if our faith is strong, we should not feel grief. In this message, Pastor Simon Franklin, Lead Pastor of The Church at The Groves, walks through Psalm 30:5 and shows how Habakkuk, David, and the apostle Paul held on to hope when life was hard. Even Jesus wept at the tomb of Lazarus. Wherever you are today, we pray you are reminded that the night does not get the final word.

The Church at The Groves exists to see lives transformed, families restored, and a community awakened to walk boldly in God's calling.
