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

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 17, 2025

God lovingly keeps us from falling, presents us blameless with joy, and deserves our wholehearted worship because His grace is greater than our weakness.

Friend, pull up a chair and take a deep breath. If your week felt like spilled cereal, missing socks, and schedules that didn’t stick, you’re in good company.

The sermon calls believers to reject favoritism and embrace Christlike love, welcoming all as equals in God’s family regardless of status or background.

Sometime between the handshake at the door and the last hymn, most of us have felt it—the little nudge to measure people by pocketbooks or pedigrees, by what they drive or where they sit. Maybe you’ve been on the other side of that glance. You walked into a room, and before you spoke a word, you ...read more
