First Cary UMC’s First on Chatham Sermon – Rev. Kollin Absher-Baer – April 19, 2026

Faith in God doesn’t exempt us from hardship, heartbreak, or seasons of emptiness. Like the Shunammite woman who clung to God’s promises even when her son died, we are called to trust that God’s Spirit is still at work. This story teaches us that resurrection hope doesn’t ignore pain—it transforms it. God takes what feels barren or broken and brings about new possibilities we could never have imagined on our own.

Scripture: 2 Kings 4:18–37
