Sermons on Comfort In Sickness:

The Side Effects Of Suffering

Contributed by Martin Wiles on Dec 27, 2012

Redeem your suffering by searching for understanding, asking the right questions, comforting others, developing a teachable spirit, identifying with Christ, and by becoming sensitized to other’s suffering.

The psalmist asked; Did I keep my heart pure for nothing? Did I keep myself innocent for no reason? I get nothing but trouble all day long; every morning brings me pain (Psalm 73:13-14 NLT).

Peace Is Restored Series

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 17, 2017

Shalom is God’s peace made alive in the life of the believer. It guides, comforts, quiets, restores and sustains, regardless of life circumstances. Shalom is found nowhere apart from God.

It is possible not to see it, to miss it, to turn just as it brushes past you. And you begin to grasp what it was you missed, like Moses in the cleft of the rock, watching God's [back] fade in the distance. So stay. Sit. Linger. Tarry. Ponder. Wait. Behold. Wonder. There will be time enough for ...read more

How's Your Spiritual Health?

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Nov 15, 2004

How’s Your Spiritual Health? 1) You are sick if you conceal your sins; 2) You are recovering when you confess your sins; 3) You are well when you cling to the forgiveness of sins.

“Como esta?” “Wie Gehts?” “Genki desuka?” “How are you?” Four languages, one greeting. Isn’t it interesting how people the world over are so interested in health that it’s the first thing they ask about when greeting someone? I suppose that’s only natural because good health is often considered to ...read more

The Muslim Maze, Pt. 4

Contributed by Dave Kinney on Nov 29, 2004

This series could be summed up this way...Jesus raised the dead and Mohammad killed the living. Jesus healed the sick and Mohammad harmed the healthy. Jesus released the oppressed and Mohammad enslaved the free! And it’s still happening today!

“The Muslim Maze”, Pt. 4 Matthew 7:15-20 I just want to go on record as saying again; these 4 weeks have not been a Muslim bashing with hate. But rather it’s been an Islamic exposing with truth. Last week we covered some good ground in order to search out the facts about Islam. Just think for ...read more

Praying For The Lost

Contributed by Johnny Creasong on Oct 13, 2008

Who’s on your prayer list? We spend more time praying for the saved who are sick than for the unsaved who are lost ... more time trying to keep the saints out of Heaven than the lost out of Hell.

Praying for the Lost Matthew 9:35-38 Billy Graham once said that he estimated that only 5% of believers had ever shared the gospel message of salvation with someone else. Evidently, a young fellow named Jim did not want to be left out of that group. Having lived in Orlando, FL all of his life, ...read more

Blessings In Bethsaida Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 11, 2017

As Jesus came into the area of Gennesaret, word quickly spread that He had arrived. The entire region sought Him, bringing the sick unto Him by faith. We need to spread the word about Jesus, and point others to Him.

Blessings in Bethsaida Mark 6: 53-56 Our text today immediately follows the miraculous, and yet frightening night the disciples had spent upon the sea. While we too would likely have responded much the same or worse, we cannot overlook their lack of faith. Jesus had commanded them to get into the ...read more

How Can We Be Grateful In All Circumstances?

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Nov 22, 2023

Giving thanks in all circumstances, which means we give thanks when we are sick, facing severe family problems, and experiencing enormous life difficulties, is certainly not easy! But that is what the apostle Paul commanded us to do. Is it possible? How can we do that?

Illus.: A father in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Thanksgiving and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty years of misery is enough. "Dad, what are you talking about?" the son screams. We can't live ...read more
