1. The Joy of Being a Caring Person

Mt 25:31-46 · Lk 16:19-31

Sermon

Robert G. Tuttle

... of life. It is such a pity to wait until we have missed life, to see what it is all about. Jesus said that we really don’t know ourselves. He wants to help us know the truth about ourselves and about life. At the judgment those who had not cared were surprised at their own blindness, and they cried out to Jesus, "When saw we thee hungered and fed thee not, thirsty and gave thee no drink, lonely and took thee not in, sick and ministered not to thee? We have never really seen you and passed you by." The ...

2. God Cares

Ezekiel 34:1-31

Sermon

Argile Smith

... far isn’t the product of your imagination at all. It really exists in your world. It’s not far-fetched. Rather, it is a fitting description of your situation right now. The ring of truth for you in the description is that God doesn’t seem to care about you where you are right now. You feel like you’ve been deported to a strange land, and God seems to have lost your forwarding address. If that’s the case for you, then you can identify with the Israelites after they were taken into Babylonian exile ...

3. God Will Take Care of You

Matthew 14:13-21

Sermon

Leonard Sweet

... you give them something to eat" and work to find a solution to the problem of a scarcity of resources (five loaves and two fish), so we have to take on the challenges of our day with our own scarcities and brokenness even as we trust that God will take care of the outcome. In other words, there's more to trusting God than a free lunch. But to trust in God means the ultimate in freedom - freedom from the limits of life and freedom from the power of death. To trust in God means trusting in the power of Christ ...

4. What Would Jesus Say About Medical Care?

Mark 2:1-12

Sermon

J. Howard Olds

... some questions about this story. What if these four friends had said, “We just need to mind our own business and let this guy take care of himself?” What if they had said that they had tried their best? “We picked him up, we took him to the healer, but ... there.” That’s why doing for others is so critical, so important and so effective, whether it is prayer or providing the right care to happen. We are in the team business here and that’s why there must be a connection between all of Science’s ...

5. Is Anybody There? Does Anybody Care?

Isaiah 49:8-26

Sermon

Robert Beringer

... nowhere to be found. "O God, art thou to me like a dried up brook when the waters fail?" Is anybody there? Does anybody care? Martin Luther, certainly no cynic, and surely a believer in God's mercy, nevertheless once cried out in rage, "My God, art thou dead ... which can never be repaired or replaced. So as a loving parent, we hold her close, dry her tears, and assure her of our love and care. Or, a little boy gets his first two-wheeler. But before long, he is on the ground with a scraped knee and a cut arm. ...

6. And You Thought God Didn't Care!

Exodus 3:1-22

Sermon

... sent Moses to them with the Name, but also told them of - God's Interest in Them (v. 16) God does a far better job of giving evidence of his concern and interest in us than we often do for one another. It's hard to find someone who really cares about you. Everybody knows about the famous "Who's Who in America." There is also a book called "Who's Nobody in America." In that book is a woman named Mildred who has been in psychotherapy for eight years with the same therapist, and he still calls her Sarah! God ...

7. God Cares About Justice!

Exodus 20:1-21

Sermon

David E. Leininger

... the very place they should have been the most safe...God's house. Unjust! The message in all this is that our God cares about justice, and if the example of Jesus is to be emulated, righteous indignation in the face of injustice is our duty as ... on the color of a person's skin or how much money he or she can afford to pay a legal "dream team?" Remember, God cares about justice. Can we be angry about the perpetuation of a system that offers medical treatment, not on the basis of need, but on the basis ...

8. Even Marriages Made In Heaven Require Earthly Care

Mark 10:1-12

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... it all that time, and I call on you this morning to look at your marriage. Are you relating to the person or are stereotyped roles the big thing? Our commitment is to the person, not the institution. And even marriages made in heaven require a lot of earthly care. Let’s go to our scripture lesson from Ephesians to get some insight as to the nature of this commitment to person rather than to institution. Now I’m afraid that a lot of what is going on and the renewed emphasis on the submission of wives to ...

9. A Samaritan Took Care of Him

Luke 10:25-37

Sermon

David R. Cartwright

... ll let someone else deal with it." Or as my parents' generation used to say, "Let George do it." We have other pressing concerns to take care of. No doubt the priest was on the way to a church meeting that couldn't possibly go on without him. We all know about ... hard sometimes. The young man still cannot quite bring himself to say outright, "The Samaritan is the neighbor, for he's the one who took care of him." I can see that word "S-a-m-a-r-i-tan" stuck there, right about where his Adam's apple would be. ...

10. A Caring Woman

Acts 9:36-43

Sermon

King Duncan

... not saying that because, by the power of God, Peter raised her from the dead, she will live forever. Tabitha eventually did die. But think of it, here we are in the year 2022 talking about a woman who lived two thousand years ago. Why? Because of the caring life that she lived. What a legacy Tabitha left us. As long as people tell the Gospel story, Tabitha will not be forgotten. Such is the power of a positive influence. It never dies. Let me tell you of one more woman who had Tabitha’s kind of compassion ...

Sermon

King Duncan

... left; and they seek my life to take it away." In other words, everyone else has forsaken you, God. I'm the only one left who cares! Everybody else is going to pot. All the kids in my school are into sex. I'm the last 16 year-old virgin in America. (More ... 's no use trying to make your voice heard anymore. Today's problems are too big, too complex. Besides, I'm the only one left who cares, and what can I do? Ever have feelings like that? Let's deal with them for a few moments this morning and see if there is ...

12. Does God Care Who Wins the Superbowl?

John 14:5-14

Sermon

David E. Leininger

... to Europe, last year to the Super Bowl, just wonderful. And you, what about your life." "Awful," says the one dollar bill, "every week the same: church, church, church." Hmm. So now the church and the Super Bowl meet. Who does GOD want to win the game? Does God CARE who wins the game? Come to think of it, can our prayers have an influence on the outcome? Why not? Did Jesus in our lesson not say, "I will do whatever you ask in my name?" Are there not players praying in those locker rooms at this very moment ...

Sermon

King Duncan

... wouldn't have lead pencils." Then he's thankful for trees from which we get the wood that makes pencils. And he's thankful for the engineering that makes pencils. And he's thankful for chemical engineering that made possible the eraser that crowns the lead pencils and takes care of the mistakes he makes. Ralph does that for everything. If he has a flat tire he pulls off to the side of the road and after he says, "Thank you, Sir," he thinks of the things he's thankful for. Maybe it's because he found a wide ...

15. Take Care Of Each Other!

Ezekiel 33:1-20

Sermon

Keith Hammer

... learned that we are responsible for one another. This is a negative story, to be sure. Yet, all the same, it makes an early impression on our consciousness that not only are we to not do anything to hurt other persons, but as children of God we are to care for, help and watch out for one another. Even as we acknowledge that we know what God expects of us, we also recognize that we still are trying to learn the lesson which Cain (Bobby) learned so long ago. Time and again throughout the Bible, the lesson of ...

Ephesians 5:15-20

Sermon

Brett Blair

... and ungrateful, but you also have those who hum a grateful hymn of thanksgiving. The irony is that you find what you are looking for. In the fifth chapter of Ephesians Paul outlines proper behavior for good living. In our short passage he admonishes his readers to be careful how they live. He is brief and to the point. Three things we must do: Be wise, be sober, and be thankful. It’s a short list but if we can orient our daily lives around these three—be wise, be sober, be thankful—we will transform ...

17. Be Careful How You Live

Ephesians 5:15-20

Sermon

Thomas Lentz

... who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. Get a life in which you are generous. And realize that life is the best thing ever, and that you have no business taking it for granted. Care so deeply about its goodness that you want to spread it around. Take money you would have spent on beer and give it to charity. Work in a soup kitchen. And think of life as a terminal illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion ...

18. Who Cares?

Matthew 25:31-46

Sermon

David G. Rogne

... opportunity to please God will not be the result of some benevolent act that impacts all of humankind. It will be a small act of caring directed toward an individual. W.W. Lax was a British Methodist minister who told a story from his own experience that underscores this point. ... sense enough to make it in medical school, but I do know he'll be the kind of man I'd like to come here to take care of me and my folks"[5] Jesus would say "Amen!" to that.

19. Caring for the Vineyard We Did Not Plant

Matthew 20:1-16, Joshua 24:1-27

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... to dare to live in, to set up house in, venture into a “vineyard kind of mission field” that you did not build and you did not plant? Do you have a heart for God’s restoration work? If you do, does God have a mission for you! Caring for the “vineyard we did not plant” can mean a world that worships other “gods.” It’s a mission field filled with those who don’t know God, even disdain God. It’s a vineyard built with institutions, temples, trellises that serve other kinds of entities and ...

... use up their entire lives making money so that they can enjoy the lives they have entirely used up." And Doug Larson put it this way: "What some people mistake for the high cost of living is really the cost of high living."

Luke 16:19-31

Sermon

Carveth Mitchell

... and careless of their condition or their needs - we separate ourselves from them. In doing so, we separate ourselves from God. Dives walked past Lazarus just about every day, but he did not really "see" him at all. Lazarus’ needs were obvious, but Dives just didn’t care. It was not what Dives did that got him into hell; it was what he did not do. 3. It comes down to this: we are the brothers of Dives, those whose eternal destiny is yet to be determined. What kind of persons are we becoming? Dives ...

Matthew 23:1-39

Sermon

King Duncan

... . Thus, the message that Victorian children received was clear enough: I'm abusing you because God wants me to. (4) According to some reports, there are Christian sects who, because of misguided teachers, come very close to this same kind of abuse today. Be careful who you listen to! Listen to Jesus' words and you will never be misled. Speaking of misguided religious leaders, he said, "And they tie up heavy loads, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so ...
