    based on 3 ratings
     | 93 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

    Jesus sees, calls, and transforms the overlooked and broken, offering grace and belonging to all who respond to His invitation, no matter their past.

    Friends, picture it with me: a crowded street in Jericho, hot dust swirling, elbows and shoulders jostling for a glimpse of a traveling Teacher. At the edge of that scene is a man who feels small in more ways than one. He has money that can buy him furniture but not friends, status that sparks ...read more

    Love Is Three Simple Things PRO Sermon

     | 112 views

    God’s steadfast love transforms us, enabling us to extend patient, kind, and honest love to others, even in difficult relationships and situations.

    If you’ve ever stood at the sink late at night replaying a hard conversation, wondering whether love can last through another week of deadlines, disappointments, or disrespect, you are in good company. Hearts get bruised. Words get sharp. People we care about act like porcupines. And if we’re ...read more

    Fruitfulness By Being Rooted In Christ's Word PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 111 views

    True stability and lasting fruit come not from striving, but from letting Christ dwell deeply within us, shaping our hearts and lives with His presence.

    Welcome, friends. If life this week felt like a tug-of-war—pulled by pressure, pushed by problems—take a breath. You’re in good company, and you’re in a good place. The God who made you also means to steady you. He has a way of slipping peace into a restless heart and strength into weary bones. ...read more

     | 84 views

    The sermon urges believers to rediscover amazement at God’s grace, reject distractions, and walk in true freedom and love by the Spirit.

    Some of you walked in today with a steady stride and a smile. Others arrived with a limp in your soul—a weary heart, a worried mind, a weight you can’t quite name. If that’s you, you’re in good company. The church isn’t a museum for the shiny; it’s a meeting place for the messy. And the gospel ...read more

    Seeking The Lost PRO Sermon

     | 150 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

    How David Overcame Fear PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 30, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 81 views

    Trusting God in the midst of fear means refusing to panic, anchoring ourselves in His Word, and passing courage to others through faith.

    If fear had a face, many of us could sketch it from memory. It’s the 2 a.m. visitor, the whisperer of what-ifs, the tightness in the chest that shows up when the phone rings, the inbox pings, or the doctor clears his throat. Fear creeps into bedrooms, boardrooms, and back pews. It visits ...read more

     | 805 views

    Even in our darkest disappointments and brokenness, God’s hope and faithfulness remain, inviting us to trust Him when everything else falls apart.

    Sometimes life feels like a city under siege. You plan, you pray, you press on—and then the bottom drops out. The letter arrives. The job shifts. The news blindsides. You look around and the familiar skyline of your world seems changed, scarred, and smoky. Have you ever stood there, heart in your ...read more

    The Fear Of The Lord Is The Beginning Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 15, 2024
     | 2,702 views

    In this second sermon in the series about God's wisdom, we start with the foundation of wisdom that Solomon points to. Wisdom begins with a proper respect and reverence for God.

    A. Robert Ingersoll, who lived from 1833 to 1899, was nicknamed “The Great Agnostic.” 1. On one occasion, Ingersoll, after delivering one of his addresses in defense of agnosticism, pulled out his watch and said, “According to the Bible, God has struck men to death for blasphemy. I will blaspheme ...read more

    Make sure your signs are signed off by God and not a scammer.

    I started looking through my sermons in progress and came across this one I started in 2018. Little did I know that six years later that I would be speaking often against false prophets marking them as the Word commands. Indeed, I had other issues to deal with for a long time and just shook my ...read more

    When you sin, own your own sin, confess your sin, commit to serving God again, and continue in the salvation He has provided in Christ.

    Several years ago, Alice Pike tried to use a fake $1 million dollar bill to shop at Walmart. She went to the register with $1,675 worth of stuff and expected change. Pike told police she got it from her estranged husband, who is a coin collector. They arrested her anyway on first degree forgery ...read more

    High Hopes When All Is Not Well

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 217 views

    Faith is not measured by certainty or outcomes, but by a living relationship with Jesus—trusting Him faithfully when answers are delayed and life remains unresolved.

    Some of us are old enough to remember a simple song that used to show up on the radio and in cartoons. It wasn’t trying to be profound. It wasn’t aiming for insight. It was lighthearted—almost silly. And yet, it stayed with people far longer than you’d expect. --- High Hopes Next time you're ...read more

    10000 Bricks: The Burden Of The Builder Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Dec 29, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 221 views

    A holy burden does not mean you have all the answers. Nehemiah didn’t. It simply means you are willing to say, “Lord, here I am. Break my heart for what breaks Yours—and then show me what obedience looks like.”

    10000 BRICKS: The Burden of the Builder Nehemiah 1:1–11 #10000Bricks INTRODUCTION (p) When Kelly and I were first married (I was in my early 20s) many moons ago, I got it in my head that I wanted a bookshelf for some of my books.

    Is It Time To Confess Our Sins?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 2, 2026
     | 148 views

    Golden Calf idolatry reveals how cherished sin destroys fellowship, while confession opens the way for God’s mercy, forgiveness, and restoration.

    There are moments in Scripture that are so disturbing, so uncomfortable, that we are tempted to read past them quickly. We would rather not linger there. We would prefer safer passages—stories of deliverance, victory, faith rewarded. But the Word of God does not allow us that luxury. There are ...read more
