First Cary UMC’s First on Chatham Sermon – Rev. Ben Alexander – April 12, 2026

In the face of deep grief and losses that feel like they take the very breath out of us, God is not absent. Just as God heard the cries of the widow and worked through Elijah to restore life to her son, God meets us in our despair. This story reminds us that even in our lowest valleys, God’s Spirit is already present, listening, and bringing hope where we thought there was only silence.

Scripture: 1 Kings 17:17–24
