Sermons From Good Shepherd Lutheran Church In Raleigh, Nc

Gospel - John 12:20-33 There is death on the trash heap. When something happens, you will never be the person you were before. There is an ending that will need to be grieved. But this death, this suffering, this grief is not the end. With God, it is the seed. Sometimes, we all feel like trash: Like we don’t fit. Like we are worn out and used up. Like we are a hassle for those around us. Like we have been tossed aside to make way for someone newer, shinier, braver, better. When we feel that way, God is there. On the trash heap, beside the dumpster, behind that restaurant door, ready to see you and get so excited that there is life in you yet!
