Listen "The One Thing Missing in Churches Today"
Episode Synopsis
💧 When Was the Last Time You Cried With a Brother or Sister in Christ? Are we so focused on "getting our doctrine right" that we've forgotten how to weep together? This powerful message challenges the common Baptist tendency to suppress emotion in the name of spirituality and reveals why biblical weeping is essential for church unity. In this convicting sermon on Romans 12:15, discover why "weep with them that weep" isn't just a suggestion—it's a command that could transform your church family. Many Christians excel at rejoicing together but struggle when it comes to sharing tears and bearing real burdens. Learn: Why Paul wept for three years in his ministry to Ephesus (Acts 20) and what those tears produced in the church How the Israelites in Nehemiah 8 experienced breakthrough unity through corporate weeping when they heard God's Word The difference between "showroom saints" who keep emotions hidden and weathered believers who've been through the fire together Why weeping isn't weakness—it's actually the glue that bonds the body of Christ together Practical ways to bear one another's burdens through shared tears, not just prayer from a distance This message explores powerful passages including Acts 20, 1 Corinthians 12:26, Hebrews 13:3, Galatians 6:2, Nehemiah 8, and Psalm 126, showing how tears bridge generation gaps, economic divisions, and cultural barriers in the church. When the rich weep with the poor and the young weep with the old, unity happens. The sermon also addresses the beautiful principle from Psalm 126:5—"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy"—reminding believers that while we may weep now, our future in Christ is guaranteed to be better.
