Moving Toward the Brokenhearted - Love Worth Finding - December 5
December 5, 2025 – Moving Toward the Brokenhearted
Sermon: 1945 The Warfare of Prayer, Part 1
Pray Over This
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound . . .”
Ponder This
You and I now live in a new kingdom, and we have kingdom authority, but this authority must be enforced according to what our King wants. Knowing what our King wants is rooted in knowing why Jesus came and who He came for. We were slaves of Satan, in bondage to his dark kingdom, and Jesus came to set us free. And to what kind of people did He come? To those who are bankrupt. The word poor here means beggars. Without Jesus Christ, we are bankrupt, and Jesus came to preach the Gospel to the bankrupt.
He also came to the brokenhearted. Do you know anybody today who is brokenhearted? If you look around, you’ll see many people laughing on the outside, trying to mask the sorrow and the emptiness on the inside. Jesus came for the brokenhearted. Then He said, “As My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you” (John 20:21). Your neighbor, the people you work with, they’re the brokenhearted ones. They’re the ones that are bound. They’re the ones who are blind. They’re the ones that are bruised. Jesus came for them, and you are also called to move toward them.
- How does Jesus’ heart for the hurting impact you?
- Who are the bound, brokenhearted, blind, and poor around you? How can you share the love of Christ with them?
Practice This
Take time to share the love of Christ with someone in your community who is brokenhearted.
