Change is never just change. It is also loss. Even the changes we choose require us to let go of what once was. Before we can embrace something new, we often need to grieve what has passed.
This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Tim Moore begins a new sermon series, The Grief and Power of Change, by exploring Elijah's journey from despair to hope. When everything familiar seemed to be falling apart, Elijah discovered that God was still present, not in the wind or the fire, but in the silence, calling him toward a new future.
