Sermons on Care For The Poor:

Suicide And The Brain Series

Contributed by Fresh Hope For Mental Health on Dec 16, 2022

Today we begin a series of sermons on mental health and caring for yourself, understanding the brain, and understanding it from God’s perspective and how He created us.

It’s difficult these days to listen to any news reports without hearing the phrases ‘mental illness’ or ‘suicide’. I’m convinced that there are many unnecessary deaths by suicide. Just consider that phrase for a moment. It doesn’t make sense. But given the rates of depression — 80% of all ...read more

Anchored In The Lord PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 24, 2025

Trusting God’s care frees us from worry, as He values and provides for us even more faithfully than He does for the birds and fields.

If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m., rehearsing the what-ifs and worst-case scenarios, you’re not alone. The mind races, the heart paces, and the shadows in the room grow longer with every anxious thought. Worry has a way of tightening its grip—white-knuckled, breath-shortening, ...read more

The Good Shepherd PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 9, 2025

Persistent prayer matters because God hears, cares, and responds in His perfect timing, inviting us to trust Him even when answers seem delayed.

Some prayers are born in bright rooms with balloons and birthday cake. Others are born at 2:13 a.m., when the house is quiet, the questions are loud, and the pillow is wet. Some prayers feel like sprinting—fast, full of faith. Others feel like limping—slow, sore, and short on strength. If you’ve ...read more

Do You Know My King? Sunday, July 09, 2006 – AM By Pastor Jim May We are living in a world gone mad. Who can deny that the word of God in Isaiah 5:20 is coming to pass before our very eyes?

Do Not Show Favoritism, A Vital Theological Concept

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 27, 2023

James 2:9 "But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors." Leviticus 19:15 “You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor."

God's Call For Justice

The Sermon On The Mount (Part Four) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 3, 2019

Today we finish up the beatitudes. They all work together-being poor in spirit causes me to have godly sorrow. Being meek allows me to be merciful and thus-a peacemaker. If I hunger and thirst for righteousness I will be pure in heart. All of these are important in dealing with persecution.

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Nov 28, 2005

How does the fact of the pre-existence of Christ affect us personally? 1. It means that Jesus is God and has the power to help. 2. It means God cares for us. 3. It means there is a plan.
