    Loving The People Right Around You PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 5, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 83 views

    The sermon urges us to love God wholeheartedly and express that love through everyday acts of kindness and care for those around us.

    Some words from Jesus land in the heart like a familiar melody. They hum along in the background while you’re packing lunches, paying bills, or waiting at a red light. They are simple enough for a child to recite and strong enough to hold up a life. Mark 12:30-31 is like that. It meets us at the ...read more

    Pastor Appreciation PRO Sermon

    Jesus gives pastors as a loving gift to His church, calling us to honor, support, and pray for them as they shepherd and serve us.

    Some of the greatest gifts Jesus gives to His church have names and faces, coffee-stained sermon notes, calloused knees, and tender hearts. They stand at hospital bedsides, whisper prayers in empty sanctuaries, answer phone calls after midnight, and show up again on Sunday with a smile that says, ...read more

    The sermon emphasizes the vital role of encouragement within the church, showing how our words and presence strengthen one another through life’s challenges.

    Church family, have you noticed how a simple sentence at the right time can steady your soul? A text that says, “I’m praying for you.” A hand on the shoulder with a whisper, “You’re not alone.” Those small syllables become like shelter in a storm. They warm a cold day. They remind your heart that ...read more

    Love Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 19, 2021
     | 4,975 views

    We often think of love as some syrupy, sweet, tingly, sentimental, ooey, gooey feeling. Biblical or divine love, however, is a self-sacrificing, caring commitment that shows itself in seeking the highest good for the one being loved.

    According to the musical wisdom of John, Paul, George, and Ringo ... otherwise known as "The Beatles" to us older folks … “All you need is love, love … love is all you need.” Well … that and food … and shelter … and air … and sleep … Love is literally in the air. You hear that word ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 12, 2021
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,157 views

    There are many Christians who don't understand what happens to them or their body after they die.

    The questions most often asked after reading the following verses are about what happens to the physical body and spirit at the moment of death. "But someone will ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?" You foolish person! What you sow does not come ...read more

    America pushed God out of our nation. What would our country look like if we invited Him in again?

    What Would God In America Look Like? Recently Bill Federer published an article about James Garfield and his assassination on July 2, 1881. The man who was responsible for President Garfield’s death was Charles Guiteau. He was a member of a Socialist society called, the “Oneida Community.” They ...read more

    The Appointing Of Deacons

    When the volunteer workload is placed on just a handful of people, these individuals get burnt out; and since they can’t do everything, then a lot of needs go unmet. It is biblical to appoint deacons and train ministry volunteers to assist.

    NOTE: This submission includes in this order: 1. Deacon Ordination Sermon, 2. Deacon Ordination Service, 3. Sermon Footnotes.

    Thinking back even a decade ago, most of us would not have imagined how confused people have become over the issue of gender.

    In the late 1980s the word 'Gender' was intentionally turned into a sociological concept.

    The word 'gender' comes from the Latin word 'genus' which means 'kind' or 'type.' In the few hundred years before the 1950s, the term 'gender' was used only in the field of grammar. In 1955, John William Money, a New Zealand psychologist, sexologist, and ...read more

    Jesus invites us into a fellowship with all of humanity. In this family there is no room for prejudice. We understand the value of grace in our lives when we busy ourselves with extending grace and fellowship to all people, having a philanthropic spirit.

    In the early years of my ministry Christianity was too often measured by church attendance and how well you excelled at Bible trivia. Don’t get me wrong, as observed through these messages, a key part of discipleship must focus on the study of Scripture. We will not fair well as Christians in the ...read more
