Emotions - Week 1

Where's God When You Hurt?

Sermon Notes | February 28 - March 1, 2026

Jesus, in the four Gospels, displayed 39 different emotions.

“Soon afterward Jesus went with his disciples to the village of Nain, and a large crowd followed him. A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the village gate. The young man who had died was a widow’s only son, and a large crowd from the village was with her. When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion. ‘Don’t cry!’ He said. Then he walked over to the coffin and touched it, and the bearers stopped. ‘Young man,’ he said, ‘I tell you, get up.’ Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk! And Jesus gave him back to his mother. Great fear swept the crowd, and they praised God, saying, ‘A mighty prophet has risen among us,’ and ‘God has visited his people today.’” Luke 7:11-16 (NLT)

Splagna: to feel from the GUTS or from the 

INTESTINES.

The Lord our God KNOWS what you’re GOING THROUGH.

Love CROSSES lines.

We don’t draw lines to keep people OUT. We cross lines to 

bring people IN.

No BOUNDARIES, no RULES, no LAWS can keep Jesus from expressing the depth of the compassion that He feels for those who are hurting.
