Sermons on Loneliness: You Are Not Forgotten

11 sermons

Loneliness can happen in a crowded room, in a marriage, in a new city or after a loss. If that is you today, you are seen, and you are not the only one.

These sermons speak to isolation and belonging, and to a God who promises to be near. Many also point toward finding a church family, which is a good next step.
