God Never Abandoned You—Even When Life Feels Dark | Ed Lapiz

About this sermon

In this hope-filled sermon, Ed Lapiz explains why Jesus' cry on the cross, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?", was not proof that the Father abandoned Him. Through Mark 15, Hebrews, Romans, Matthew, Isaiah, Proverbs, and many other Scriptures, Ed Lapiz reveals how Christ's sacrifice tore the temple curtain in two, opening direct access to God for everyone. This powerful message also explores how fear, isolation, negative emotions, and suffering can make us feel abandoned, while reminding us that God is always present, working behind the scenes, bringing healing, freedom, peace, and hope. This encouraging message explores: Why Jesus was never truly forsaken The meaning of the torn temple curtain God's presence in seasons of suffering Finding peace during fear and uncertainty How forgiveness brings emotional healing Breaking free from bitterness and anxiety The connection between faith and emotional health Living with hope instead of despair Trusting God's unseen work Becoming a source of peace for others Ed Lapiz reminds believers that God's silence is never His absence. Even in life's darkest moments, the Father is accomplishing His perfect purpose. As we surrender fear, anger, bitterness, and anxiety to Christ, we discover the peace, freedom, healing, and confidence that only God's love can provide. #EdLapiz #Faith #Hope #GodsLove #ChristianLiving
