Sermon
Lee Griess
... And when God knows us and loves us, God will not abandon us. In spite of the senseless violence that seems so much a part of our world today, the innocent suffering and death that occur, our failures and our encounters with suffering, God wants us to know that God cares about us. God want us to know that God loves us with an everlasting love that calls us by name. That's precisely the promise that God made with us from the beginning of time and that Jesus makes with us today. "I know my own and my own know ...

... looking over a pile of old rags on the side of the road. He had the most pained face, somewhere between pity and disdain. At first, I thought he was going to help. He stayed over on the other side of the road, but squatted down low, looking at me carefully. Then he shrugged his shoulders, stood up, and said in a loud voice, 'Yea, though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I shall not fear, for you are with me,' and walked on. "I had given up hope. The road had few travelers. I figured that ...
Sermon
Mary Venema Swierenga
... commitment is a small island of certainty. It's an island you create for each other. It's the solid ground on which your marriage rests. "I will be there for you." That's the commitment you make with your vows. But what good is commitment without caring? Caring says, "I commit myself to you. I will be there for you." When you marry, you signal, in a real way, the end to your own rugged individualism, your own unfettered freedom, your control over your own life. Now marriage does not mean that you lose your ...

Wesley T. Runk
... carried and told the son to wake up, to come back to life. And I am sure that you know what happened. The man who was dead was brought back to life. That was just one sign of Jesus' compassion. Jesus has compassion on lots of people. He cares about us, and he does something about it. Nurses have compassion, and, when you see a cap like this, you can remember that the nurses, like many other people, learn their compassion from God. We should all have compassion, which means that when we see someone who needs ...

Matthew 1:18-25
Sermon
Erskine White
... and always had work to do. I also did a lot of work for the local farmers who needed yokes for their oxen. Those were fairly quick and easy to make, but I taught my sons to take pride in even the simplest jobs. Good carpentry requires great care and careful measurements; even a yoke, for example, has to fit the oxen snugly without chafing their necks. I know that Jesus in particular took this to heart, because years later, when He was a grown man, He said to people, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy ...

... May God be merciful and bless us, show the light of his countenance, and come to us." The refrain is repeated twice (verses 3 and 5): "Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you." And even the "blessing of the fields" and the "care of the earth" themes are suggested (verse 6): "The earth has brought forth her increase; may God, our own God, give us his blessing." The last verse suggests an "Easter stance:" "May God give us his blessing, and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe ...

... 't want to listen. Has your mom or dad ever said to you, "Now, listen to me carefully"? (response) The next time they tell you to listen very carefully, do it, because they are going to say something very important. Application: God rarely comes to earth and says, "Now, listen carefully," but he did that once. And when he said, "Listen carefully," he looked at us and pointed to his Son Jesus and said, "Listen, very carefully to him." We must do that throughout our lives. Your moms must listen to him; your ...

If God has adopted us as part of his family, what do you think God will do for us? (response) Yes, he will care for us, and love us, and provide for our needs. And how much more do you think God can love us than we can love a puppy? A lot more! So remember that just as we adopt a puppy dog and make it a part of the family, so God ...

If the magistrates told him to kill, he killed. If he received men who were bleeding, he didn't care; that was their tough luck. Now he was a new master, a man of compassion. One could say, "He washed and was washed. He washed their stripes, and he himself was washed from his sins. “The Spirit of God entered him. He believed in Jesus: by the love of Jesus ...

... and compassion become the cornerstone of your love. Love is not vicious or hostile. Love does not try to compound the guilt. Love doesn't try to rub salt in the wounds of shame. When we learn to love after the pattern of Jesus, we learn to show care. We learn to show understanding. We learn to show compassion to those who are hurting. II. A Second Thing We See In The Example Of Jesus Is That Love Is Forgiving. Peter must have been hurting on the inside. After all, look what he had done. He had denied even ...

This story is in our Bible so that God can push you and me and our congregation into reaching out in love to people we'd never thought to care about. In America there are millions of people who are unchurched - 85-90 million, in fact. That is one-third of the nation's population. Some of them are folks who've never really heard the Good News of Christ. They reject him and his church on the basis of ...

We as Christians can stop and say to ourselves, "God cares for us and God loves us. God has made us special. God seems to think we’re worth it."

He accepted this new spirit of life in the Master. He was cared for, and he began to care. In his new spirit he wanted to share in the life of the world. He hungered for righteousness. He said, "I will repay four times anything I have taken. I will give half of my goods, Master, to do your work of love." There was the ...

Through the generosity of forgiveness in us, stimulated by the forgiveness of God to us, we become God’s agents in the healing of the brokenness of the world. It is tender loving care that this old world needs, a new spirit in the affairs of people - an attitudinal shift. It is the spirit of life’s relationships that Jesus is concerned about.
