Sarah Dies (Genesis 23)

Don't Fear The Light Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Mar 4, 2024

Jesus teaches that many of us are afraid to come into the light because we're scared our bad actions will be exposed. But Jesus didn't come to condemn us, He came to heal us. He searches for us in the darkness and wants us to trust Him, look to Him, and follow Him into His kingdom of light.

Set Free From Shame Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

The sermon explores the transformative encounter of the Samaritan woman with Jesus, illustrating God's intent to save rather than condemn, and the possibility of turning guilt and shame into healing and belonging through God's grace.

The story of the Samaritan woman perfectly illustrates how God sent Jesus not to condemn the world but to save the world through him. Jesus humbles himself, engages the woman in conversation, and sets her free from shame and guilt. She arrives at the well as a sinner, but leaves as a saint. ...read more
