Sermons About Sorrow
Consequences of Sin
Temptation is bad enough. Satan invites us to doubt what God has said, to doubt his motives, or to believe that we can be blessed without him. But once sin has happened, it only gets worse as the weeds of corruption get hold. The picture is pretty bleak. Yet in this midst of all this darkness we find in this passage the hope of the gospel.

Psalm 126 : The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of
We all have dreams – and I don't mean the kind of crazy things you might dream about when you are sleeping – I mean your waking dreams – the mental picture of how you want things to be in the future - and those dreams are made of something – they might be made of the wrong things but we all have them. And sometimes those dreams become reality and we find ourselves struck with amazement and say things like “I can't believe this...Somebody pinch me.” The kinds of dreams I am talking about are dreams which can be characterized by 2 words: hope and vision. What I want us to do is two things: (1) Evaluate our dreams and see what they're made of, (2) Begin to dream kingdom dreams, to look to the Lord to make them reality and to commit ourselves to actively making them a reality.

The Beatitudes Living for Christ in a Non Christian World

Dark Night of the Soul
Jeremiah wasn't just a bullfrog, he was the weeping prophet of God. Who was this man and why was he weeping? What impact did he have when he was alive? How does this apply today? Where is God when we all suffer? Why me? Why did I lose my job? Why is there pain and suffering in the world?
