"You have cancer." These are frightening and common words that many of us or our loved ones might hear. But how should Christians respond?

This new teaching series reminds us that while cancer can lead and destroy, it is not in charge. Jesus is our Good and Great Shepherd. He loves us, cares for...

Are you a Christian with cancer? Your identity is in Christ, not your diagnosis. Join pastor Mike as he reminds us of the truth of the believer’s union with Christ.

Cancer (or any sickness or trial) reveals the need for help and assistance. Where does the hurting Christian go for sympathy, grace, and mercy? The Book of Hebrews is the answer because it reveals the perfect High Priest, Jesus Christ.

How do you know you are a Christian? Did you know that calling out to God the Father when you are really hurting and no one else can help is a sign of your true faith? Paul teaches this very truth in Romans 8:14–17. When you cry out to the Father, you are realizing that He can help you and that H...

So much of having cancer is visible and tangible: blood test results, scan outcomes, diagnostic conclusions. But as Christians, we know there are invisible realities at work. These come from the hand of a good God who is literally—although in an unseen fashion—working good in every Christian with...

God is sovereign over cancer? Yes, it is a theological truth that is biblical and undeniable, but it is a difficult doctrine to internally process. Especially after hearing the words: “You have cancer” or “your loved one has cancer.” One of the things that would be worse than having cancer? if Go...

Christians sin—it's a sad reality. Even believers facing severe trials, such as cancer, may not always respond to the Lord as they should. The proper response is to repent, forsake sin, keeping their eyes on the Risen Savior. Assurance is found in Christ.

What do you say to people who are going through extreme trials? Should you quote the Bible? Should you be quiet? What is the best way to love them? In addition, if you are the one in the trial, what do you do if people say “less than helpful” things?

Every cancer patient knows this is simply part of the unchanging routine. It is part of the regimen. “Is there any way to redeem this whole process in the lab?” When you get your blood drawn, remind yourself of the Creator. The details of blood show how intricately God made us. So, the next time ...

Duplex Gratia (Latin) means, “double grace.” These dual graces are “Christ for pardon” and “Christ for power.” The double graces of justification and sanctification stem from the believer’s union with Jesus. Because of this truth you say no to sin, and you can say yes to holy living! Your sins ar...

Every cancer patient thinks about the future. They ask questions like:

- When will my treatment be over?
- Will the drugs work?
- Is my doctor really the best?
- How much of a future will I actually have?
- Will my quality of life decrease?
- Will the doctor have to change my regimen?
- Will the...

We fear when we have cancer. But we fear the wrong things, like:
 Fear regarding the next blood test
 Fear of more bad news
 Fear that the cancer will come back
 Fear that your spouse will be widowed (or become a widower)
 Fear of the children losing a parent
 Fear of not walking your daugh...

We did not ask for cancer, but we now have a unique opportunity to help other people with cancer because we know exactly what it feels like. We know the emotions, talks with the family, innumerable doctor visits, ups, downs, prayers, tears, and more. Dear Christian with cancer: like it or not, yo...

Sometimes sick people think bad thoughts. While sickness is never an excuse for sin or ungodly thinking, we all know it is harder to obey when you do not feel well. Again, we are not justifying sin, we are simply granting that we are weak and frail people.

“In light of my cancer diagnosis,”

“Do...

While Jesus never suffered from cancer, He did suffer. And truth be told, what Jesus suffered makes cancer look like a temporary blip on the radar screen. Cancer patient, Jesus experienced the ultimate suffering and assuaged the holy wrath of God the Father that should have fallen on sinners. Bec...

Cancer-targeting drugs, infusion therapy, radiation, and chemotherapy can, and will, affect a person. Yet, there are more side effects of the medicine. Besides being lethargic, patients can become emotional, cry for no real reason, and really struggle to have joy. It is like the joy or happiness ...
