Weeds In Our Garden: Suicide and Self Harm

As part of our ongoing mental health sermon series, we will be addressing the difficult and tender topic of suicide and self-harm. Together, we will explore what Scripture says about despair, suffering, and the hope we have in Christ. We will acknowledge the deep pain that can lead someone to these dark places and consider how the church can be a safe, compassionate community for honest conversations.

We reflect on the reality of sin and grace—recognizing the seriousness of suicide while affirming the truth that no sin is beyond the reach of Christ’s forgiveness. Ultimately, we are reminded that while emotions can feel overwhelming and consuming, they are not eternal. God is. He is present in our brokenness and specializes in restoring what feels shattered, offering lasting hope and peace through Jesus.
