The October 2025 issue of Methodist Message is out!
- FEATURE | The grieving Christian
Grief takes many forms and is often associated with loss—loss of one’s security, comfort and perhaps, identity. Whether it affects you physically, emotionally, mentally and/or spiritually, how we deal with grief is a journey. Dr Mark Toh shares how God hears and helps the grieving Christian.
- WORSHIP | Singing sorrow: Embracing lament in worship
We utter praise to God when we worship, but our voices of grief and lament are often unexpressed. This month’s Worship article challenges us to come before our Lord even when we are not okay, to give voice to our grieving emotions, our brokenness, so that our worship as a community reflects real life and all of its emotions. Through this, we can start to heal.
- SOUNDINGS | Faith and grief: When Jesus wept
Jesus wept when Lazarus died because he experienced what it felt to lose a friend. Grief is a universal human experience and is how we process the sorrow and pain of loss. While the expression of grief is normal, we are reminded not to let these emotions overpower and lead to despair. Dr Roland Chia shares how Christian grief should be different.
