Sermons About Brokenness
The Goodness of God in a Broken World
With the devastation of sin all around us, some can question the goodness of God. Genesis chapter two gives us a glimpse into the world as God intended it to be and it is good, reflecting a Creator who is good. It is sin, not God, that is responsible for the bitterness and brokenness of this world, and it is Christ who fully bore the bitterness of our sin on the cross so that we may enjoy the goodness of God forever.

The Aftershock in Our Lives
It is easier to see and feel the impact of sin collectively when we see the news, but many times it is easy to admit our own brokenness. Many times we are willing to admit that the world is messed up but unwilling to admit our own lives are messed up. So we begin a masquerade to cover the brokenness and hide our pain. We do different things to impress different people and sometimes even in an attempt to impress God. We are afraid to admit our own brokenness because it would mean we are needy. We are ashamed to admit our own brokenness because it makes us feel dirty; but the reality is that only when we admit our brokenness can we find healing and can God through Jesus Christ put our lives back together again.

Is Your Soul Healthy
Just as it is often possible to tell the difference between a sick person and a healthy person, so it is possible to discern the health of the soul. Unfortunately, much of what we think we know about soul health is wrong. Let's look at the scripture together and discern what healthy souls look like and how we can evaluate our own. Key verses: Lk 10:25ff; Lk 15:11ff; Lk 18:10ff; Mt 5:1-12ber 6, 2009 Sermon

What To Do With Our Tears
So what do we do with our tears? How are we to handle our grief and sorrow? What can help us when our souls are so sorrowful that they bleed tears? Psalms 126 and 39 will help us to know how to understand our tears as well as how to practice emotional honesty before a God who well understands our tears, understands our pain, and understands what it feels like to cry out in agony. Jesus received our rejection. Jesus experienced the pain of loss. Jesus experienced the sorrow and alienation our sins deserved.

Easter 2009 - Real Hope
There are two truths about human beings that matter deeply. First, we are all broken people. Second, we are all God’s broken people. Easter is the miracle that shows us how these two truths fit together. Our brokenness is undeniable – physical brokenness, emotional brokenness, spiritual brokenness, societal brokenness, universal brokenness. Our brokenness cost us humans the perfect home where God’s provision and protection and presence reigned freely, but Jesus came to set things right. Jesus was broken for our brokenness, and he became homeless to bring us home. What more could you want than to enjoy the provision and protection and presence of God forever? Easter is your invitation to come home to God. Special Thanks to the following for ideas used in this sermon: Yancey Arrington, Tim Keller, C.S. Lewis, John Ortberg, Cornelius Plantinga, Jr., Charles Spurgeon, Bruce Wesley, Phillip Yancey.
