Sermons About Loneliness
You Were Not Meant to Be Alone
GOD NEVER MEANT FOR YOU TO BE ALONE. When God made the statement that it was not good for man to be alone He said this before the fall of man so loneliness has nothing to do with sin. Instead of being lonely or isolated God wants you to be a part of a family – His family – not just a physical family. A physical family is temporary – but your spiritual family is eternal. God wants all of us to be part of His family

Loneliness
Are you too busy to invest in relationships? Or is your busyness an attempt to cover over an ache of loneliness? Scriptures tells us we were created with a hunger for relationship that we cannot escape or deny. Through Jesus we can enter into relationships with a desire to serve and deal with disappointment.

Sacred Joy: Philippians 1.3-11
As Paul begins his letter to the church at Philippi he reveals his gratitude to God for the church's commitment to the gospel and to Paul's ministry. Their partnership in the gospel gives Paul much joy as he prays for them. He has such joy and affection for the church because they are walking in the truth. What gives you the greatest joy? For Paul it is the work that God is continuing to do in his brothers and sisters in Philippi. No doubt Paul would have much reason to be down and lonely while in prison, but his circumstances do not affect his joy and prayers for these in Philippi. The gospel has such power as it reconciles sinful people not only to God, but to each other. The gospel is what holds Paul and the Philippians together even though they are apart. The gospel must take first place in both our relationships and prayers.

Faith is from God, Fear is from the Enemy
Fear (Depression, Anxiety, Sadness, Loneliness, Worry, etc) does not come from God. When we put our faith in Him, we can live with a smile on our face in spite of our circumstances.

Living as Community
In Ephesians 4:25-5:2, the Apostles Paul shows us what true gospel community should look like - a community of honesty, generosity, encouragement and forgiveness. Furthermore it is to be a community marked by utter others-centeredness that puts the gospel constantly on display for the waiting world to see.
