51. Casting Cares

1 Peter 5:7

Children's Sermon

Tim Carpenter

... worry about? (response) It’s hard trying to carry all that stuff around in our heads and hearts. Let’s turn to God and he will take our worries so we don’t have to carry them around. Let’s Pray: Thank you, God, for holding our worries and our cares. You are big enough to handle them all. Amen.

52. Caring for the “Little Ones”

Mark 5:21-43

Sermon

George Reed

... and their worth. But the one we call Lord and Savior stands beside us and also makes judgments about their value. He looks and sees a child of God, a brother or sister of his. He sees someone in need of the love and grace of a God who cares for all people. Many folks wear the WWJD bracelets to remind themselves that they need to ask "What would Jesus do?" in each situation of life. Perhaps we should wear HWJJ bracelets to remind us that another question is, "How would Jesus judge?" the value of the people ...

Wallace H. Kirby

... time. So the people of Bach's time watched him, but they didn't see him. They did not hear him. I would insist that we have a good understanding of Jesus and what he was about but I don't think we have great insight. Christians today must be careful in their confidence. We can know that we are saved but we never know if our behavior is completely acceptable. We watch Jesus, but we do not see him. We are acquainted with him, but his rich meaning is not yet fully part of our lives. Occasionally we confess ...

54. A Caring Presence: I Will Not Leave You

John 14:15-21

Illustration

John H. Pavelko

The assurance of loving, caring presence in our lives is so important throughout our lives. Children who grow up in unstable homes often struggle with feelings of rejection and low self worth all their lives. We need the emotional support of other people throughout our life. We especially need it during life threatening situations. Surgery ...

55. Be Careful Which Ruts You Get Into

Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30

Illustration

James W. Moore

Recently, I was driving on an old dirt road way out in the country when I came to a sign which said: "Be real careful which ruts you get into. You'll be in them for the next 20 miles!" Some people get in the rut of seeing life as nothing more than just coping, just enduring, just surviving, just sticking it out. In a recent Peanuts cartoon, Charlie Brown expressed it like this: "I have a new philosophy of life, Linus. From this moment on, I'm going to only dread one day at a time!"

56. Be Careful What You Say

Henry Lesser

In the course of your conversation each and every day, Think twice, try to be careful of what you have to say; Your remarks may be picked up by someone's listening ear, You may be surprised at what some people think they hear. Things that you innocently say, or try to portray, Can be changed, and greatly exaggerated along the way; Many stories change for ...

58. It Belongs Not To My Care

Illustration

Richard Baxter

Lord, it belongs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share, And this Thy grace must give. If life be long, I will be glad, That I may long obey; If short, yet why should I be sad To welcome endless day? Christ leads me through no darker ...

59. Care, Dare, Share, & Prayer

Illustration

S. Briscoe

A simple formula for witnessing goes like this: Care: show concern for the person, and concern for your life before him. Dare: it takes courage to witness courage if the person is a stranger to you, and even more if the person is a close friend or relative. Share: If you want to make a lasting impression, share yourself ...

60. Be Careful Crossing the Street

Humor Illustration

... father, seeing that the squirrel had been hit by a car, seized this moment to teach his son a gentle lesson. He talked to his son about the mysteries of life and death. Then he mentioned that the same thing could happen to him if he was not careful when he crossed the street. That evening, his mother came to check on him. She wanted to remind the boy of the lesson he had learned about not playing in the street, so she remarked, "Honey, what did you learn from your talk with Daddy today?" The boy answered ...

61. Ambulatory Care Center

Illustration

Staff

A hospital opened a walk-in clinic in a shopping mall. Being super-intelligent, no-nonsense men of science, the doctors called their clinic what it was, the Ambulatory Care Center. The docs knew that "ambulatory" meant "walk-in." Unfortunately, the patients didn't. The center was in the bedpan until a marketing survey showed that 58 percent of its potential customers thought ambulatory meant you came by ambulance. They changed the name: Walk-in Clinic.

62. Be Careful What You Ask For

Mark 10:35-45

Sermon

King Duncan

... at 35. But it’s not unusual for someone to try to use family or social ties to get ahead, to cut the line, to be bumped up over someone else who may be more qualified than we are. Our goal is to get ahead. And sometimes we don’t care whose turn it is. In this world, it is survival of the fittest, dog-eat-dog. John and James wanted to get ahead. They were not simply asking Jesus to be chummy with him and sit close to him. This was not a request for relationship, but one for power ...

63. The Devil Don't Care

Illustration

Michael P. Green

A materialist is one who does not believe in demons and has no interest in what they do. A magician is one who believes too much in demons and has an unhealthy interest in them. As for the demons, they care not which you are, for both are equally in error and thus leave you open to their efforts.

64. Care of Vines

John 15:1-8

Illustration

Michael P. Green

The usual practice in viticulture, the care of vines, is for the branches to be pruned back each year in order to cleanse them. A vine produces certain shoots called “sucker shoots,” which start to grow where a branch joins the stem. If allowed to continue to grow, they would dissipate the life of the vine through ...

65. Caring for the Needy and Commissioning Apostles

Mark 3:7-12, Mark 3:13-19

Teach the Text

Grant R. Osborne

... far (1:32–34, 39; 2:11–12; 3:5, 10–11) Jesus’s great compassion for everyone led him to heal every sick or demon-possessed person who came to him. Jesus is concerned not just for the spiritual side of humankind but for the whole person. He cares for and ministers to the whole “body,” with s?main the New Testament referring not just to the physical body but to everything that makes up the person: “It represents the whole over against the parts (Matt 5:29f.; 6:22f.; Jas 3:2f., 6); the body and ...

... table beside her bed. It was then she noticed a bulge in the back of the frame. She undid the backing and there, to her amazement, was the rich man's will. The instructions in the will were simple: "I give and bequeath all my possessions to the person who cares enough for my son to cherish this photograph."

67. Who Cares?

I remember a Peanuts cartoon in which Charlie Brown was talking to Lucy. He remarked about the tragedy of so much apathy in the world today. And Lucy responded, “Yeah, it’s terrible. But who cares?”

68. Just One That Cares

Illustration

Staff

A young woman, visiting China for the first time, stood one morning in Canton in the midst of a Buddhist temple. The guide had told the party that this was the "House of 10,000 Buddhas," and it was easy to believe he had not exaggerated. The girl stared at the countless carved wooden faces, some of which were hideous and most of which were grotesque. Finally she said, "I have been looking for one that looks like the ''good shepherd,'' but I don't see any. Don't they have one that cares?"

69. Take Care of Yourself God

Humor

One little fellow knelt at the side of his bed, closed his eyes and prayed. "God bless mom. God bless dad. God bless grandma." He said it the same way every time. But one night he added, "And please take care of yourself, God. ''Cause if anything happens to you, we're all sunk!"

70. Careful With Those Lips

Mt 15:8 · Ps 119:171; 143:3 · Rom 3:13 · Isa 6:5 · 1 Pet 3:10

Children's Sermon

Robert B. Lantz

Object: Lips stickers Good morning, boys and girls. I'm thinking of an external part of the human body that you use all the time, whether you are walking, standing still, sitting down, awake or asleep. Can anyone guess which part of the body I have in mind? (Responses -- Allow eight or ten. If they have not said mouth or lips, you can give them a couple of clues.) I'm using them right now. Eyes? No. (Purse your lips.) That's right. I'm thinking about lips today. Well, what a strange thing that is to think ...

71. Like Caring Gently for a Baby

1 Thessalonians 2:7

Children's Sermon

Tim Carpenter

Exegetical Aim: To demonstrate the gentleness with which we should share the gospel. Props: A baby doll Lesson: Show the children a baby doll. “Coo” over it and discuss how to properly treat a baby, i.e. the necessity of feeding him/her, changing diapers, bathing, dressing, holding, comforting, teaching, correcting, etc. Would you ever want to yell at a baby? (response) Of course not, because a baby’s feelings are gentle and fragile. We must never be rough with a baby, because a baby is very weak compared ...

72. Caring for Our World

Illustration

Bill Bouknight

Someone noted that fifty people showed up at a meeting to protest air pollution. After the meeting they got into forty-seven cars and went home. With the passing of each month, another species of life becomes extinct because of the abuse of this world by human beings. Our world is wonderful but very fragile. One expert noted that humanity owes its existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains. We are custodians of this wondrous world. When we dispose of our trash properly and use the ...

73. Taking Care of the Crowd

Matthew 14:13-21

Illustration

Johnny Dean

Too often, we think that giving our lives to God is like taking a $1,000 bill and laying it on the altar, saying, "Here's my life, Lord. I'm giving it all to you." But the truth of the matter is that God sends us to the bank and tells us to cash that $1,000 bill in for quarters. And then we go through life giving away twenty-five cents here, fifty cents there, and so on. Instead of watching a ball game, we spend some time visiting a lonely person in a nursing home who has no family. Instead of sipping ...

Years ago, Harry Emerson Fosdick, then at the height of his influence as minister of the Riverside Church, New York City, was making a tour of Palestine and other countries of the Near and Middle East. He was invited to give an address at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, where the student body comprised citizens of many countries and representatives from sixteen different religions. What could one say that would be relevant or of interest to so mixed and varied a group? This is how Fosdick began ...

When Bobby Smith was a youngster, his family lived near Mrs. Hildebrand, a widow, who at 95 years of age, was in constant pain and crippled by arthritis, which ravaged her body. Living alone, she could only take a few steps at a time with the help of her cane. Every week when Bobby's mom went to the market, she took her son who would always deliver groceries to the old widow. The family car would pull up into Mrs. Hildebrand's driveway and the command would be heard, "Bobby, here are Mrs. Hildebrand's ...
