In this heartfelt message, Pastor Highland Goodman reflects on five decades of ministry shaped by walking with families through loss, love, and the hope we have in Christ. From his very first funeral as a young pastor to the many sacred moments spent beside grieving families, he reminds us that death is never easy—but we do not face it alone. Through the story of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 23, we’re invited to see how God meets us in our mourning, our regrets, and even in the quiet loneliness that follows the death of someone dear.

With tender honesty, Pastor Highland encourages us to embrace the gifts God gives in our tears, to seek forgiveness where needed, and to treasure the relationships we still hold today. Most importantly, he points us to the living hope we share in Jesus—the assurance that for believers, it is never “goodbye,” but “see you later.”
