    Steps To Making Prayer Part Of Daily Life PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 18, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 74 views

    Prayer begins with trusting God as our Father, centering our lives on Him, and building a simple, daily rhythm of fellowship through Christ.

    If you listen close enough, right where the morning is thin and the coffee is warm, you can almost hear the first word Jesus taught us to pray: Father. Not a distant title, not a cold address, but a name full of nearness and tenderness. The kind of name a child whispers when the night is long and ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 55 views

    God responds to bold, faith-filled prayers, meeting us in our struggles and making a way when we trust Him with the impossible.

    Some days saunter. Others sprint. A calendar can feel like a carousel that won’t stop, deadlines whirling and daylight thinning. You’ve felt it, haven’t you? That wish for just a little more light, a few more minutes, a sliver of space to finish the task, to face the fight, to hug the child, to say ...read more

     | 102 views

    This sermon urges believers to choose love over judgment, removing obstacles for others and fostering a gentle, supportive community that reflects Christ’s kindness.

    Friends, welcome. Take a breath. Let your shoulders drop a bit. I don’t know what you carried in today—opinions that feel heavy, tensions that won’t unwind, or that low ache that comes from wishing people saw things your way. Church can feel like a crowded dinner table where everyone brings a ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 64 views

    The sermon encourages steadfast obedience and faithful confession of Jesus despite spiritual opposition, assuring believers their perseverance matters and is empowered by Christ’s victory.

    If you’ve ever felt the sting of being misunderstood for loving Jesus, if you’ve ever sensed a shadow trying to smother your song, you’re in good company. The Bible is honest about that ache. It doesn’t gloss over the grit. It names the Enemy. It speaks of a dragon. It recognizes that there is ...read more

    The sermon emphasizes cultivating a life of continual prayer, gratitude, and joy, trusting God’s presence and power in every ordinary moment and circumstance.

    Friends, welcome. Some of us walked in with bright hearts, some with tired eyes, and some with questions that kept us awake last night. God sees every sigh, every secret worry, every small smile of hope. He gathers it all, and He meets us here. I once watched my grandmother hum hymns over a sink ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 185 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

     | 124 views

    Jesus seeks out the overlooked, calls us by name, and transforms our lives when we respond with open hearts, repentance, and welcome.

    If you listen closely to this old story, you may hear your name woven between the branches of a Jericho tree. Have you ever felt small in a crowd? Not in inches, but in influence? Have you ever felt unseen in a swirl of noise, pushed to the back while questions press to the front? Then you’ll feel ...read more

     | 42 views

    God promises healing, hope, and restoration to those who fear Him, calling us to renewed faith, obedience, and wholehearted devotion amid life’s challenges.

    Friends, some mornings feel like the sky forgot to wake up. The headlines are heavy, our homes can be hurried, and our hearts carry more than they let on. Yet right in the pages of Scripture, God promises a sunrise. Not just any sunrise, but the “Sun of righteousness” with healing in His wings. Can ...read more

     | 56 views

    The sermon urges believers to embody Christ’s love through everyday acts of kindness, service, and hospitality, making faith tangible in ordinary life.

    Some of the most life-changing sermons are preached without pulpits. A handwritten note in a mailbox. A casserole on a front porch. A hand on a shoulder in a waiting room. A smile across a sanctuary. You have seen these sermons. Many of you have preached them. And if you listen closely, you can ...read more

    A Daughter’s Obedience And Sacrifice PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 25, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 78 views

    Our words and promises carry deep consequences; God calls us to speak carefully, obey courageously, and trust His grace even when we fail.

    Friend, your words carry weight. Promises shape people. Vows mark moments. We know the power of a whispered “I do,” the gravity of “I’ll be there,” and the ache of “I’m sorry.” Words can build bridges, and words can burn them. Have you ever wished you could take a sentence back? Have you ever felt ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 88 views

    True acceptance with God comes not through self-righteousness or comparison, but through humble confession and receiving His mercy offered in Jesus Christ.

    Some stories slip into the room and sit right beside us. This is one of them. It whispers to the weary, “You can put down the mask,” and it nudges the proud, “You can put down the measuring stick.” Picture it: two people walk into God’s house—one with a polished prayer and a proud posture, the ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 23 views

    True freedom is found in honoring God with our bodies, embracing His loving authority, and living as temples of the Holy Spirit.

    Friends, take a deep breath of grace today. You are seen. You are loved. You are wanted by the God who fashioned you—mind, heart, and body. He cares about all of you, and He cares right now. For some of us, the word body brings a flurry of feelings—shame from the past, confusion from the present, ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 83 views

    Jesus seeks us where we are, calls us by name, and transforms our lives with grace that leads to joyful repentance and welcome.

    I wonder how many of us walked in today feeling small. Small under the weight of worries, small beside someone else’s success, small in the shadow of our own failures. We learn early how to tuck ourselves away—behind busyness, behind bravado, behind careful smiles. We wear “I’m fine” like it’s ...read more

    God lovingly exchanges our sorrow and heaviness for joy and praise, transforming our brokenness into strength through His nearness and kindness in prayer.

    If your week has felt heavy, if your heart has carried more sighs than songs, you are in the right place. You didn’t stumble in here by accident. The God who sees you also speaks to you, and His voice carries comfort that steadies the soul. He has a word for the weary and a lift for the lowly. He ...read more

    God lovingly calls all people, regardless of status or struggle, to gather in His presence, remember His mercy, and rejoice together in shared grace.

    If you’ve arrived today with a full calendar and an even fuller heart, you’re in good company. Some of us come carrying victories we can’t wait to tell, others arrive with questions that have kept us up at night. Some of us are bone-tired. Some of us are heartsore. And all of us—every single ...read more
