Why Moving On Is Ruining Your Healing | Pastor Mike Sanders

Society tells us that comfort is the prize you win once you’re finally done grieving. Move on. Stay busy. Act strong. Say "I'm fine." But when Jesus sat down on the mountain in Matthew 5:4, He flipped that entire system upside down. In this message from our series, "The Blessed Life," we look at what it actually means when Jesus says, "Blessed are those who mourn." Mourning isn't a test to pass or a weakness to hide—it's a portal to experiencing the Holy Spirit as the Comforter in real-time. You don't mourn so God will eventually comfort you; you mourn WITH the Comforter. You have permission to stop pretending. You have permission to mourn. — ABOUT TWENTY-TWO CHURCH: We are a community learning to enjoy heaven on earth by living the way of Christ—devoted to the teaching, the table, the prayers, and each other.
