In this message, Pastor Blaine pauses the Roman series to address the shock, grief, and confusion surrounding recent events. Drawing from Scripture, he reminds us that violence and evil have always marked humanity, but the gospel speaks directly into our pain. He outlines ways for Christians to process tragedy: seeking true justice grounded in God’s righteousness, anchoring in biblical truth rather than cultural narratives, grieving with hope in Christ, trusting God instead of giving in to fear, being angry at evil without sinning, praying even for enemies, having courage when hated, and ultimately preaching Christ in every area of life. The call is clear—don’t waste your days in despair or comfort, but live faithfully, courageously, and urgently for the kingdom of God.
