Abstract

This work focuses on equipping and motivating the church to care for others in the specific areas of death, critical illness, suicide, gambling, alcoholism, depression, conflict with the law, homosexuality, pain at Christmas, divorce and pornography. The thesis begins by surveying the congregation to learn about their three greatest personal crises. Thirteen messages were delivered on Sunday mornings to address these crises. Detailed fill-in-the-blank sermon notes were included in each Sunday's bulletin. These inserts were accumulated into a resource booklet after the project as a quick reference tool to assist the congregation in caring for their neighbours, family and friends during a future crisis. The work includes the results of the congregational survey and concludes with a chapter highlighting the outcomes established by the study.
