According To Your Faith

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 4, 2025

Jesus moves not according to our need, but according to our trust. True faith surrenders, saying “Yes, Lord,” and receives transforming grace.

There are moments in the ministry of Jesus when His words fall like a key into the lock of the human heart—turning something, opening something, revealing something that changes everything about how we relate to Him. Matthew 9 contains one of those moments. It is only a sentence, only a breath, yet ...read more

Return To A Listening Heart

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 22, 2025

A pastor’s burden exposes spiritual deafness in the church and calls believers and leaders alike to listen, repent, realign, and return to Christ.

There are moments in ministry when the burden becomes heavier than the words. Moments when you stand before God with His people on your heart and realize that what troubles you most is not persecution from the outside, but resistance on the inside. God spoke through Jeremiah to a people who were ...read more

I Messed Up… But God Cleaned Me Up! PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 9, 2025

God’s mercy meets us in our deepest failures, offering forgiveness, cleansing, and restoration when we honestly confess and turn to Him with humble hearts.

If you’ve ever sat in the quiet and felt the ache of regret—the kind that whispers, “How did I end up here?”—you’re in good company. If you’ve replayed a conversation you can’t unsay, a click you can’t undo, a glance that went too far, a promise you didn’t keep, you’re not alone. The Bible doesn’t ...read more

Fire PRO Sermon

God’s presence remains with us in every trial; we are never alone, for He walks with us through every fire, bringing comfort and courage.

Some of us walked in today with smiles that mask a thousand aches. Bills stack higher than courage. Reports from doctors bruise the heart. The road feels rough, the night long, the fire fierce. You’ve prayed, you’ve waited, you’ve wondered if God still walks your hallway or stands beside your ...read more

Some days the heart feels like a hummingbird in a hurricane—fluttering, fragile, and longing for a safe branch. We scroll and scurry and strive, yet the soul still whispers for something steady.

Our Fight Is Not Carnal, It Is Spiritual PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 17, 2025

Trust God’s presence and providence when facing hostility or fear, relying on His protection and grace instead of reacting with anger or self-defense.

Some of us walked in today weary, worried, and worn. You’ve been dodging spears you never asked for—sharp words at work, quiet tensions at home, old wounds that seem to whisper fresh threats. It feels like you’re playing the harp in Saul’s palace—trying to bring calm—while a javelin sits poised in ...read more

This Or That PRO Sermon

Following Jesus means courageous obedience and joyful endurance, even when it brings suffering or opposition, because God’s presence empowers and sustains His people.

There are weeks when life feels like a locked door. You show up with a key that used to work—prayer you’ve prayed, habits you’ve honored—and the tumblers don’t budge. Bills stack up. Sleep slips away. A hard conversation waits across the breakfast table. Your calendar looks like a crowded hallway ...read more
