Sermons About Loneliness
A Divine Community
These days, there is an appetite for spirituality and a huge distaste for "church." Is this really what God wanted? The church was intended to be a dynamic, life-giving movement of people who experience and extend the love of God together. In fact, Jesus said that you can't be spiritual on your own, that the spiritual life is something we do together. If you catch a glimpse of God's dream for doing life together, we are convinced you'll never want anything less.

And what should be an incredibly meaningful time with friends and family can sometimes be a lonely experience. We're going to be exploring the myth that "I'm Never Lonely During the Holiday Season."

Is There Any Hope for Me?
What do we do when we've realized that we've blown it ... again? We try, we fail, we resolve to do better next time; but eventually we fail, again. This is a message for those times when we ask, "Is there any hope for me, God?"

Why is your but so big?
So many of us are either extremely busy or extremely lonely. But if you look beneath the surface, you find that they betray something else: our need for community. Even with this deep need, so many Christians refuse to get involved in the local church. Worse yet, many Christians bad mouth the church, not even realizing they are talking smack about Jesus' bride.
