    Let's talk about the lot, the lamenting and the Lord of the depressed (Material adapted from Bill Kirk at: https://billkirk.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/victory-over-depression.pdf)

    HoHum: Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that's related to changes in seasons — SAD begins and ends at about the same times every year.

    I think God wants to have soft hearts-the ability to grieve, to be hurt, to be wounded, and, thereby, to become a source of healing, just as Jesus bought our healing through the tearing of His flesh.

    REVELATION CHAPTER 5 1. And I saw in the right hand of Him sitting on the Throne a book (biblion) written on the outside and inside, sealed with seven seals 2. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a big (mega) voice 3. “Who is worthy to take the book and loose its seals?” and no one was able ...read more

    When Jesus wept in the Garden of Gethsemane, he left an example for those who wrestle with soul-crushing sorrow. By following his example, we can find hope and healing during life's hardships and heartaches.

    Jesus Wept (3) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 9/27/2020 I vividly remember the 1991 NBA finals.

    The 34th sermon in a series we're doing on John's Gospel. In this particular sermon we look at the shortest verse in the Bible, and we discuss why Jesus wept. We examine sin and it's effects, and how Jesus is the answer to our sin problem.

    Jesus Wept (Gospel of John Part 34) Text: John 11:28-44 So; if you remember from last time, Jesus had just spoken with Martha, and Martha was strengthened in her faith and she ended up making an amazing confession of faith in Jesus. And she left Him, in order to go get her sister Mary. And ...read more

    Gird Yourselves And Lament

    Contributed by Mike Bryant on Feb 22, 2021
     | 1,956 views

    As Joel addresses a nation brought to its knees by a locust plague, he leaves us with a plan for surviving overwhelming disaster in our own lives. Broad outline borrowed from "The Day of Disaster," a sermon by W. Maynard Pittendreigh.

    I) In Joel 1:1-3, God through His prophet addresses a people faced with absolute calamity. A) He asks, “Has anything like this happened in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?” (NKJV). He says that the nation faces a crisis greater than any seen in generations (“or even in the days of ...read more

    Many today want to put aside any mention of shame as inappropriate. Paul, though, speaks of godly sorrow and worldly sorrow. What's the distinction and how can sorrow be a good thing?

    SMILEY RELIGION: “God wants me to be happy.” - 2 Corinthians 7:8. - Today so many presume that God’s job is to make them happy. The only way they think about God is that He is there to answer our prayers and bring good things into our lives. - Biblical ideas like carrying your cross, losing ...read more

    Jeremiah authored the book of Lamentations sometime after the fall of Jerusalem. His first book, Jeremiah, predicted Jerusalem’s destruction.

    Our comfort from God is based on... (Material adapted from Brandon Web at: http://www.brandonweb.com/sermons/sermonpages/isaiah11.htm)

    HoHum: “Blue Christmas” is one of the all time holiday classics each year during Christmas time. The heartbreaking song captures how lonely the season can be without the one we love, which is probably why it’s been a staple for over 70 years. The song was written in 1948. The most famous version ...read more

     | 2,123 views

    He keeps his promises, He answers prayers, he solves problems. But in our experience, there have been times when we weren’t sure about these things. Have you ever wondered, when things go wrong in life, if you can count on God?

    How We Love His Promise John 11:17-44 Introduction Adrian Rogers said, “There is no promise God cannot keep, no prayer God will not answer, and no problem too hard for Him to solve.” That is a great expression of the life of faith in God.

    Just as the ram was the replacement for Isaac, we have to remember that Christ is the replacement for each of us in terms of our punishment, sin & He will replace our griefs, worries, fears & dread with His spirit if we will allow Him to.

    The Replacement Genesis 22:13-14 I. The Replacement for our Punishment “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” Isa. 53:5 We deserved nothing short of death for our sin. ...read more

    Life leaves us with memories—some warm us, and some wound us. If we spend our time looking back, we risk missing the new thing God is doing right in us.

    — THE PROBLEM: WHY WE KEEP LOOKING BACK Life leaves us with memories. Some of them warm us. Some of them wound us. And some of them quietly shape us long after the moment has passed. Most of us don’t notice how much time we spend replaying our lives. We replay conversations we wish had gone ...read more

    When one of the Sons of Korah looked at the current horrible disasters, he could not understand why God allowed these things. Like him, we struggle with reconciling God’s character and what God permits, especially when it strikes close to home.

    Is God A Has Been? (Psalm 44) 1. We do not have a lot of information about the Sons of Korah, but we do about their competing group, the Sons of Asaph. 2. According to I Chronicles 25:1-3, "David, together with the commanders of the army, set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun ...read more
