Sermons About Hurt
The Shack Part 4 - Outbound Ripples
We have all been hurt at some level, but what do we do when those hurts feel insurmountable or unforgivable? When they paralyze us or cause us to run from God and even blame Him. In this message, Scott Wilson interviews Auntie Ann Pretzel's founder, Ann Beiler, how her life went into a tailspin after the death of her 19-month-old daughter, who was run over by a farm tractor in 1975. We will hear about how God redeemed her from such a tragic loss and the powerful way God is using her to help and bless countless others. God wants to restore, heal, repair us - to bring us beyond a place of existence, but to that place of joy and fulfillment - where we can use our hurts to heal others.

The Shack Part 3 - A Morning of Sorrows
We have all been hurt at some level, but what do we do when those hurts feel insurmountable or unforgivable? When they paralyze us or cause us to run from God and even blame Him. In this new series, we want to create an environment and opportunity for God to meet people where they are at in the midst of their pain. The healing processes outlined in Scripture are only effective when in relationship with God. Emotional healing doesn't take place by ignoring or pushing the pain away. It happens when we meet with God in the place of our pain and embrace it with Him. God wants to restore, heal, repair us - to bring us beyond a place of existence, but to that place of joy and fulfillment - where we can use our hurts to heal others.

WIth - With Stupid
I'm with Stupid: Your parents told you not to call anyone stupid but the truth is we all are pretty stupid when it comes to relationships. Joseph's story reminds us that God is with us and can redeem the stupid things that have been done to us and that we have done to others.

Forgiveness: So Hard, But So Liberating!
Every person has been hurt by someone. You must decide what you are going to do with the pain you feel. Many people have the attitude, "I could never forgive that person. I have been hurt too much!" But forgiveness can set you free.

Life After the Storm
If we are going to reach out with the love of Jesus to the community around us we will not be able to avoid the topic of divorce. All of us have been affected either directly or indirectly by the breakdown of the family, and we desperately need to understand HOW to respond to a broken, hurting world. Unfortunately, a marriage failure often brings a "double whammy" in that there is first the very real pain of the breakup, and secondly, an equally great pain that the church does not know how to respond. May God give us grace to learn. Key Passage: Psalm 34:18
