When Joy is Gone

This sermon reflects on Jeremiah’s grief over a collapsing world to connect with the deep discouragement many people feel today. It suggests three faithful responses when joy is gone: listen to the suffering around us rather than isolating ourselves, seek healing in Christ who shares our pain, and allow ourselves to lament openly, trusting that tears can be a source of spiritual renewal. Even in despair, the message insists that God meets us in our sorrow and leads us toward hope and endurance.
