While some may think they have all the answers to questions about suffering, life has a way of proving otherwise. In this sermon is a strategy for handling those well meaning folks who might unfairly criticize you while you are hurting for any reason.

From the pages of the Book of Job, more truth is declared concerning how to help someone who is wrestling with hopelessness; as well as the need to realize that none of know it all. In this teaching, vital keys are shared to empower the hearer to get outside the routine ruts of life and to do something kind for those in need of encouragement.

While in the midst of hopelessness and despair, Job's friends made matters worse, by trying to make sense of it all, through blaming the poor guy for all of his troubles. In this talk, the hearer is challenged to help the hopeless and to not make things worse for them. The sermon concludes with a wonderful solo sung by George Huff, entitled, "Stand".

To bring hope to a world struggling with hopelessness, our own hope must be strong and abounding. Through pursuing God as the God of hope, believing the truth of the Gospel and dealing with all our "hope robbers", our own hope is made stronger by the power and person of the Holy Spirit, as we allow Him to fill us often.

In life's most difficult seasons, we can have undying hope. This sermon shares several keys to having strong Gospel based hope that is not built on temporal things.

In a world wrestling with hopelessness, as believers in the Gospel, we are able to to be ready to give strong reasons for the hope that is in us. Our hope is firmly established on what God has already done for us; it is empowered by what He is doing in us and it continues to be inspired by His love and His Holy Spirit.

The purpose of this encouraging teaching is to equip the hearers to hope wholeheartedly - like never before - and to bring the hope of the Gospel to a hopeless world. Following the example of Abraham, we are to be people of hope, even though many things at times may seem hopeless.

Not wanting to add to the pressure of Father's Day - by emphasizing the short-comings of some dads - this Sermon seeks to inspire all parents to be great examples for the next generation, by following the example of other great parents; in meeting the needs of the young through sacrificial commitment to their provision, protection and progression.

While Jesus did all the hard work in bearing all of our shame and in fulfilling all the prophecies that said He would do so, sometimes Christians still experience shame for being trapped by shameful things. In this sermon, the hearers are exhorted on how to overcome the shame-causers in their life.

While the last two sermons - in this series - focused on Jesus' death and how He fully redeemed us from all sin and shame, this one talks about His shame freeing life, past and present, and how He continues to do the same for all who come boldly to Him.
