1601. The Woods Are Lovely, Dark, and Deep

2 Samuel 18:1-18

Sermon

Leonard Sweet

... world by the tail. Absalom had it all. He was of royal blood. He was a gorgeous hunk of a man. He had hair to die for (and as we shall see, he did). He was smart, charming, and charismatic. He must have been a man capable of great compassion, as witnessed by the deep comfort and care he gave his sister Tamar after their brother Amnon had raped her, including taking her in to live in his own home and giving his beautiful daughter Tamar's name. Everyone in Israel, including David, was drawn to Absalom. The ...

1602. Patience

James 5:7-12

Sermon

King Duncan

... away her energy, she reads over the words of the Psalm again. “Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits--who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” (Psalm 103: 2-5) In this drab prison hospital, Cassandra compares her life to the life of this death-row inmate. Something in her is deeply touched by his ...

1 John 4:7-21

Sermon

James McCormick

... experience, doesn’t it? We know from our experience that that sort of thing always happens among people when God is given a chance at our lives. It is certainly true in my life that the highest values I know have come from Christ: justice, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and love. His influence has not waned; even after 2000 years, his light still shines. His salt still flavors our lives. His leaven is still at work in our world. So many human problems have been solved and so many other problems will yet ...

1604. If We Had Known It Was You

Matthew 25:31-46

Sermon

James McCormick

... on his feet, and sent the man on his way refreshed, because the old man had made contact with someone who cared. Conrad waited for the Lord’s coming through the afternoon, but the only person he saw was a woman struggling under a heavy load. He had compassion on her and invited her in to rest. She looked as if she had not had much to eat in awhile, so he gave her the food he had prepared for Christ. The woman found new strength and encouragement in Conrad’s shop and she thanked him before continuing ...

1605. In Life Nothing Works but the Impossible

Matthew 1:18-25

Sermon

Leonard Sweet

... ). Regardless of the ultimate sentence carried out, Joseph still had the right to shame her publicly as an adulteress. That he decides instead to divorce Mary without any public disgrace that came with renouncing or denouncing brings a unique note of compassion to Joseph’s character. Joseph never gets a chance to act on this decision, however. Matthew records that “an angel of the Lord” comes to Joseph in a dream with crucial information and instructions. Throughout his birth narrative (2:12, 13 ...

1606. Want to Be Happy?

Matthew 3:13-17

Sermon

Leonard Sweet

... high. Of course, it does include accommodations for his servants and staff . . . all 600 of them. When money is the only thing that talks, you are listening to the gurgling, death-knell sounds of a society. When money is the only thing that talks, kindness and compassion go for long walks. When money is the only thing that talks, the voices of the weak and poor are drowned out. When money is the only thing that talks, the complexity of harmony is silenced by the monologue of greed. When money is the only ...
