From Mourning to Dancing: Finding Hope in the Shadow of Tragedy

From mourning to dancing: a sermon exploring how we hold joy and grief simultaneously through John 21:1-14. When Jesus appears at the Sea of Tiberias after his resurrection, the disciples' empty nets become full. Their story speaks to our own contradictions—Easter celebration alongside the Lapu Lapu tragedy, systemic abundance alongside manufactured scarcity. Christ meets us at the shoreline between these realities, offering breakfast and belonging.
