    The Lukewarm Church PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 20, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 164 views

    Jesus lovingly exposes our self-sufficiency, invites us to deeper dependence on Him, and offers restoration, hope, and true riches for our lukewarm hearts.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile for the foyer and a sigh for the soul. Bills on the counter, deadlines on the calendar, questions on the heart. And yet, here we are, gathering around a Letter from Jesus to an ancient church in a city called Laodicea—a church with polished doors and tepid ...read more

    The Salvation Of Zacchaeus PRO Sermon

     | 314 views

    Jesus personally seeks and transforms the overlooked, offering immediate grace and acceptance that leads to genuine change and restored identity through His love.

    Some of us walked in today feeling unseen, unheard, and maybe even unwanted. We’ve smiled for others, but inside there’s a quiet ache that keeps asking, “Does God notice me?” Picture dusty Jericho streets and a short man with a tall stack of regrets. A tree-climbing tax collector—pockets full, ...read more

    The sermon calls believers to embody Christlike unity, compassion, and humility, serving others with kindness and mercy in everyday relationships and all creation.

    If you could hold the heartbeat of the early church in your hands, you might feel something steady and strong: a rhythm of humility, a pulse of compassion, and a gentle strength that held people together when everything around them seemed to be coming apart. That same heartbeat is available to us ...read more

    When The Mantle Must Rest PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 145 views

    The sermon encourages embracing God’s timing, resting from roles when needed, prioritizing presence and relationships, and trusting prayer to shape our lives and seasons.

    There’s a rhythm stitched into the world by the hand of God. The tide rolls in and slips out. Winter gives way to spring. Babies cry, grandparents smile, and somewhere in between we learn how to hold on and how to let go. Seasons change. And if we’re honest, our souls feel it—the gentle tug that ...read more

    You are intentionally created by God, uniquely valued, and your life has purpose and dignity that reflect His love and glory.

    Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache behind the smile. You know the one—the ache that wonders, Do I matter? Does my life count? Have I been seen, heard, known? We carry comparisons like heavy coats in summer. We replay old comments, old failures, old fears, and they whisper their worn-out ...read more

    Eyes That See

    Contributed by Lewis Martin on Apr 7, 2025
     | 773 views

    Jesus tells a parable in Luke 16 that pulls back the curtain—revealing what happens when we live with closed eyes and closed hearts. It’s the story of a rich man, a poor beggar named Lazarus, and the eternal consequences of spiritual blindness.

    Sermon: "Eyes That See" (Luke 16:19-31) Scripture Reading (Luke 16:19-31 - NLT): 19 Jesus said, “There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed in purple and fine linen and who lived each day in luxury. 20 At his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus who was covered with sores. 21 As ...read more

    An Extraordinary Commission (Part 1)

     | 702 views

    Does Jesus still call and empower believers to do bold and amazing things in His name, like healing the sick, raising the dead, and casting out demons? Does this passage only apply to the first apostles, or can it be applied to us?

    I have entitled our sermon this morning, “An Extraordinary Commission,” and this is Part 1 of a two-part message. I want to begin by saying that I was raised in a small country church with a pastor who loved the Lord and His people, and proclaimed only the basics, like sin, repentance, salvation, ...read more
