Sermons About Mourning
Jesus Wants To Break Your Heart
In what's commonly called "The Beatitudes", Jesus taught his followers what it truly means to live a life that is "blessed" by God. Their ideas of "blessing" were turned upside-down by Christ's teaching, and so this series on the Beatitudes is titled "The Upside-Down Life". Jesus taught that those who mourn are "blessed". What did he mean when he said this? We'll see here that the heart that mourns is a heart that is compassionate for others, a heart that is contrite over its own sin, and a heart that will be comforted by Jesus.

The Word and Revival (Nehemiah 7:73b-8:18)
The example of Nehemiah and Israel in his day challenges us not to lose our hold on the Bible. We are to teach and understand God's word, receive the word with appropriate contrition and joy, and ultimately to obediently apply God's word to all of life.

Joyful Mourning (Matthew 5:4)
The world defines blessedness, happiness, contentment, in the things of this world. However, it is it not the things of this world that account for true blessedness, but having the assurance of grace, forgiveness, joy, satisfaction, and a relationship with God in the next. That is true blessedness and it is that which the Lord addresses in the Sermon on the Mount. The blessedness that the Lord speaks of runs counter to the thinking and philosophies of men, because it is the blessedness that is God-centered. The promises of those in the Kingdom are rich, but before they can be had there needs to be an inner transformation; there must be a humbling of yourself before God; there must be genuine repentance. The introduced the first element of this genuine repentance with the stunning statement: “blessed are the poor in spirit;”

All Who Are Spiritually Weary and Seek Rest
Our church has a very nice (waarm and fuzzy) "welcome" on the front of the bulletin. If we take an honest look at it then examine our hearts what would we find? Would the answer(s) be surprising?

Getting Help
If God can help and is inclined to help then why don’t I let Him help? What do I really believe about God? What do I really believe about life’s challenges? Do I really want to change?

We Are Bringing You Good News
Acts is a book demonstrating the movement and power of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 13-14 we find the first missionary journey. Our text will explore what took place in Lystra while also seeing how the Spirit brought Paul and Barnabas to this point. The need for the church today is to see that the Holy Spirit "sets apart" those whom He chooses... He sends them out (with little agenda directions, incidentally) and the Spirit causes men and women's hearts to turn to the Living God. The question for the church today is are we like the Church at Antioch or more like the Jerusalem church... and do we worship and prepare our hearts in such a manner as to hear the Holy Spirit speak the words, "Set apart for me...(insert your name here)".
