     | 3,416 views

    Today we will learn how to deal with Depression biblically and psychologically. We need to know it because a wrong response to depression can make depression worse.

    On June 20, 2001, Andrea Pia Yates, a Christian mother in Texas, drowned her five children; the oldest was seven, and the youngest was six months, in their bathtub. She had been suffering for some time from very severe postpartum depression after the birth of her fourth child. Last Sunday, we ...read more

    Why are so many people living with frustration, emptiness, despair, hopelessness, disgust, apathy, or anger? Such people have given up hope of finding relief to their inner ache for answers. Who has the answers and why are so many people still searching

    Committed To Promoting The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 28, 2016
     | 9,216 views

    Even though Paul was in bonds, he rejoiced that the Gospel continued to be preached. He refused to allow his circumstances create despair. We too must seek every opportunity to share our faith, while rejoicing for others who are committed as well.

    Committed to Promoting the Gospel Philippians 1: 12-18 As one reads the opening verses of this letter, it is not immediately evident that Paul was bound in prison. His joy and positive attitude conceal the difficulties he faced daily. Although he was not free to move about within society, Paul ...read more

    The Journey To Emmaus

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 16, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 891 views

    The risen Christ is with us always. He walks with us on every road. He is with us at the heights of joy and celebration and in the pits of terror and despair. He is always with us, but we do not recognise him. Nevertheless, he journeys with us to the end of our lives.

    The gospel reading we just read about Jesus' journey to Emmaus with two persons is one of my favourite resurrection stories and possibly my favourite from the Gospel of Luke. Over the twenty-six years of my ministry, among many other texts in the Gospels, this is one of the most-loved stories I ...read more

     | 1,819 views

    Even in the toughest of times, God has NOT forgotten about Naomi, and, He most certainly has not forgotten about you, either! Even in our despair, God STILL provides comfort for each of us and Ruth is an incredible story about this.

    “Naomi’s Journey back to Bethlehem” – Ruth, Part 2 Ruth Sermon Series, Part 2 Ruth 1:10-22 Introduction - Last week we set the foundation of Ruth around some very difficult times -- Famine causes a family to move from God’s land, disobeys God’s commands - Exposed a hard lesson – and one that ...read more

    O Lord, Just Kill Me!

     | 5,911 views

    God's mercy and our anger can often be in conflict. Such conflict can lead to discouragement that in turn can lead to despair. The child of God must guard his/her heart to avoid falling into deep gloom leading to thoughts of suicide.

    “[God’s mercy toward Nineveh] displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. And he prayed to the LORD and said, ‘O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and ...read more

    Psalm 88 is considered to be the gloomiest chapter in all the bible. There is not one glimmer of hope yet we can draw from it wonderful teaching. The psalmist was in a very dark state when this Psalm was penned.

    A New Creation . . . A New Beginning

     | 10,755 views

    We’ve all needed a second chance at one time or another. Truth is that many of us have also "blown our second chance" and maybe have despaired that it was our last chance. Well, God goes beyond the second chance to the new beginning!

    A NEW BEGINNING . . . A NEW CREATION! Text: Romans 5:20 Moreover, the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Some time ago I was in a Christian book store and they were playing a song that kept repeating, "He’s the God of second ...read more

     | 2,161 views

    All too often our definition for Good News has to do with interesting new Bible stories, or feel good inspirationals. But we may find ourselves one day in the Valley of Despair – Valley of Dry Bones, as a result of sin (birthed within us).

    THE BIRTH OF SIN Revised – 08.20.06 (Edit in text from “Elijah”, Chas. Swindoll, pages 127 – 131) Perhaps you came this morning expecting to hear some “Good News”… How do you define the term “Good News”?

    And The Lord Made Me Laugh Series

     | 962 views

    The joy of the Lord has the power to turn sorrow into laughter and despair into hope. When we look at the story of Sarah, we see a God who turned her years of barrenness into joy, so profound that she proclaimed, “God has made me laugh.”

    Title: AND THE LORD MADE ME LAUGH By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 21:6 Supporting Texts: Psalm 126:1-3, Job 8:21, Luke 1:13-14 INTRODUCTION: The joy of the Lord has the power to turn sorrow into laughter and despair into hope.

     | 185 views

    Every age has its fools — not because people lack intelligence, but because they reject truth. We live in a world where humanity believes it has outgrown God — yet moral decay, despair, and violence reveal that something has gone terribly wrong.

    Psalms 27, 37, And 84 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 7, 2020
     | 7,910 views

    Passages in different locations are often interconnected in such a way that one avenue of thought springs from another. Although these psalms were not written with the intent that they be interconnected by us today, they collectively express a message relevant today.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more
