Grief and Loss

Pastor Tyshone Roland · Sep 15, 2025

Drawing from Matthew 14, Pastor Tyshone Roland shows that even Jesus withdrew in grief after losing His cousin John the Baptist, yet was moved by compassion to perform one of His greatest miracles. Through his own story of losing his brother in a mass shooting, Pastor Tyshone argues that mourning is not a dead end but a divine setup — that the pain we survive becomes the platform from which God works miracles through us, and that compassion, not withdrawal, is what ultimately moves us forward.
