What does it mean that Jesus weeps with us?
In this message, Pastor Andrew unpacks one of the most emotionally honest moments in the Gospels—Jesus standing at the tomb of Lazarus, deeply moved, troubled in His spirit, and weeping with those who grieved.

This sermon explores how Christ draws near to the brokenhearted, how the Holy Spirit comforts and intercedes when our words fail, and how the cross and resurrection give unshakeable hope even when life feels shaken.

Whether you’re walking through loss, wrestling with questions, or supporting someone in deep pain, this message points us to a God who is not distant, not detached, and not afraid of our grief. Jesus is both the One who weeps with us and the One who calls us out of the grave.
