    Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 11, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,170 views

    Part 1 of a 2-part sermon that examines the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus as he prayed for God’s glory to be displayed in his life, and as he prayed for victory for the disciples who will carry the work forward on his behalf.

    By show of hands this morning, let’s see how many of you remember these catch phrases from your childhood (my guess is that you responded to these, like I did, with an exaggerated eye roll but now you say some of them yourself): • Money doesn’t grow on trees. • Were you born in a barn? • They sure ...read more

    Truth: Gospel, Not Emotion PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 92 views

    True worship happens when our hearts and minds align with God’s truth, allowing authentic praise regardless of our changing feelings or circumstances.

    Friends, pull up a chair and take a deep breath. Some of us walked in today with hearts humming like a racing engine, others with batteries barely blinking. Some of us feel God’s nearness; others wonder if our prayers are bouncing off the ceiling. Can I encourage you? You are not here by accident. ...read more

    True faith is shown by compassion for others; ignoring those in need hardens our hearts and distances us from God’s grace and eternal hope.

    Friends, welcome. Some stories slip past our defenses and sit down in the living room of our hearts. Jesus tells one of those stories today. It hums with hope and honesty. It whispers to our comfort and calls to our conscience. It lifts our chin so we can see the person at the gate and the God who ...read more

    Life On Earth – Then Heaven Or Hell PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 5, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 65 views

    Life is brief, eternity is real, and only what matters to Jesus endures—so trust Him, pursue what lasts, and live with eternal perspective.

    Some moments halt us midstride. A chair sits empty at the table, the voicemail no longer arrives, a laugh once loud has grown quiet. Or maybe it’s the ordinary that gets our attention—the steam on the mirror that fades as fast as it forms, the birthday candles that seem to spin faster around the ...read more

     | 67 views

    The sermon urges us to turn from self-reliance and busyness, remembering that our true purpose and security are found in knowing and seeking God Himself.

    Friends, I’m glad you’re here. Life runs fast, doesn’t it? The calendar fills, the inbox swells, the deadlines line up like dominoes. We build our days with bricks of busyness—palaces of productivity, towers of tasks, fortresses of to-do lists. And yet, there comes that quiet hour when the house ...read more

     | 58 views

    Christ meets us in our weakness, supplying strength and love so we can persevere, serve others, and experience true courage in everyday life.

    Some of us walked in with smiles; some of us walked in with sighs. Schedules feel heavy. Headlines howl. Bills pile, plates spin, and sleep sneaks away. You’ve tried to be strong for your people, and the strength ran thin. You’ve tried to be brave for your heart, and the courage felt small. If ...read more

     | 91 views

    True faith is shown by obeying Jesus’ words, building our lives on His foundation so we stand firm through life’s storms.

    Friends, some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a storm in our chest. The winds may not be rattling your windows, but they might be rattling your peace. A report you didn’t expect. A bill you can’t pay. A relationship you’re not sure will hold. Have you ever felt the floorboards of ...read more

    True acceptance with God comes not from self-righteousness or comparison, but from humble confession and receiving the mercy and love found in Jesus Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a scoreboard in our heart. You know the scoreboard I mean—the quiet tally of how we’re doing compared to others, the inner itch to be seen as enough, the nervous need to be noticed and approved. We measure our worth by the week we had, the ...read more

    Concentration On Consecration PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 49 views

    God calls us to consecrate ourselves—living holy, set-apart lives—so we are ready for Him to work wonders in and through us.

    There’s a hush that falls over the heart when you sense God is nearby. Not in the thunder, not even in the headlines, but in the ordinary—the kettle singing in the kitchen, a lunch pail packed for work, the Bible open on a worn table. In those moments, something within whispers, “Get ready.” ...read more

     | 42 views

    Following Jesus means trusting Him through every joy and trial, knowing He leads us, shapes us, and walks with us every step of the way.

    Some days feel like a string of small skirmishes—spilled coffee on the way out the door, a terse email that stings, headlines that weigh heavy. Other days carry a deeper ache—an empty chair at the table, a diagnosis you didn’t see coming, a door closed that you prayed would open. In moments like ...read more

     | 79 views

    God uses our ordinary lives and small acts of integrity to shine Christ’s light, making a meaningful difference wherever we are placed.

    Some of the most meaningful moments of grace happen in the middle of ordinary days. Between alarm clocks and car keys. Between lunches packed and emails sent. Somewhere between the grocery aisle and the front porch, God whispers a reminder: You carry light. You may not feel brilliant. You may feel ...read more

     | 77 views

    God intimately sees, hears, and cares for us in every trial, offering steadfast love, comfort, and deliverance to the brokenhearted and trusting.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides a storm. Bills on the table, biopsy on the calendar, battles in the soul. Others carry a quiet ache—an empty chair at dinner, a friendship gone cold, a door that never opened. If you feel overlooked, unheard, unseen—hear this: the God who flung ...read more

    God’s grace alone justifies us, not our performance; we are called to live boldly and freely by faith in Christ’s finished work.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a knot in our stomach. We love Jesus. We long to please Him. Yet we bump into old habits, heavy expectations, and the quiet pressure to perform. We want to get it right. We want to be faithful. And in the middle of it all, we wonder: Does God ...read more

     | 56 views

    In Christ, we are completely transformed—our past no longer defines us, and God’s grace empowers us to live as new creations.

    Friends, do you ever wish you could press “reset”? To erase the smudges of yesterday’s choices, to soften the sting of words you wish you could take back, to trade the ache of regret for the music of hope? You’re not alone. Our hearts hunger for a fresh beginning, for a clean slate, for the kind of ...read more
