    Contributed by Duane Wente on Nov 6, 2025
     | 184 views

    The message of salvation through Jesus Christ is timeless and unchanging — still the only way to life, truth, and hope.

    ## **Introduction – A Message That Endures** Video Ill.: Sermon Bumper 3 In our families, we all have things that we would consider timeless treasures. Some of these may hold great monetary worth, while others are valuable for a much deeper reason — the memories attached to them. For instance, ...read more

    Do you have any unfinished projects lying around collecting dust? It’s so easy to get sidetracked isn’t it? It takes tenacity to finish what we start because there are always so many competing distractions.

    based on 91 ratings
     | 16,540 views

    As we look at Jesus, it’s important to realize that his death was no accident. The cross did not happen to Him – He came on purpose for it. His death resulted in our acquittal and gave us open access to the Father. Just as people have responded differen

    The Case For Christ: His Death Rev. Brian Bill 4/8/01 I was on the wrestling team in High School. The wrestlers and the basketball players didn’t get along very well.

    Do you long for an intimacy with God. This sermon compares the intimacy of a married couple with that of man and God through prayer.

    July 13th, 2003 THE RESTORING OF OUR INTIMACY WITH GOD Through Prayer I can’t tell you how many sermons I’ve heard and done on prayer. In fact… it seems almost overwhelming. · We are told to pray to a God that we cannot see. · We are told that He answers prayer. · We are told that He wants ...read more

    Sermon Pre-Test 1. Serving other gods can be defined as: A. Anything that I cherish so much that I place it before God. B.

    Love Is Greater Than Faith

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 3,911 views

    This message is about the power of love and that Scripture proves that it is greater than faith. Faith is activated and sustained by love.

    Love Is Greater Than Faith Scripture: Matthew 24:12; First Corinthians 13; Hebrews 11:6 I had a conversation with someone several weeks ago about the things happening in the world. We discussed the attitudes that are prevalent in the United States; attitudes of hate by those who truly believe ...read more

    The Truth About Family In Heaven PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 28, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 154 views

    Despite our current limited understanding, God promises we will one day see Him clearly, fully known and loved, reunited and whole in His presence.

    If you’ve ever peered through a fogged-up bathroom mirror and tried to make sense of the face staring back, you know the feeling. Shapes are there. Outlines are there. But clarity? It waits. Life often feels like that—hints without the whole picture, music through a wall, daylight under a door. We ...read more

    Our Deepest Need PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 10, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 93 views

    True Christian living finds its meaning and endurance in love; without love, our actions and gifts are empty, but with it, everything gains lasting value.

    Good morning, friends. If you came in today weary, worried, or worn thin, you’re not alone. Some of us have been carrying more than we care to admit—unanswered questions, unspoken hurts, unfinished to-do lists. We try harder, run faster, give more, and still wonder: Why do I feel empty? Why does my ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 170 views

    God calls us to see our everyday places and relationships as mission fields, inviting us to share His love and presence wherever we are.

    If we could sit across a kitchen table together this morning, coffee steaming, hearts open, I’d ask you a gentle question: Where did Jesus meet you this week? In a car line with cranky kiddos? In a conference call that felt like it would never end? At a mailbox where the bill looked bigger than the ...read more

     | 174 views

    God lovingly makes us new in Christ, freeing us from our past and inviting us to embrace our true identity as His beloved children.

    Friends, welcome. Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides a storm. Others carry a quiet ache—memories that sting, habits that hang on, hopes that feel thin. If that’s you, you’re in the right place. The God who made galaxies also tends to bruised hearts. He does careful work with what ...read more

    Remembering PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 97 views

    God’s unwavering faithfulness means He never forgets us or His promises; His presence and covenant love sustain us through every season and circumstance.

    Some of us keep a shoebox of memories. A faded ticket stub from the big game. A ribbon from a graduation cap. A hospital bracelet that once wrapped a tiny wrist. We keep them because they tell us who we are and whose we are. They steady us. They sing to us on stormy days. They whisper, You’ve been ...read more

    God’s presence brings peace and joy in life’s storms; we can trust Him, rejoice, and find hope even amid trials and uncertainty.

    Friend, if your week has felt like a hailstorm of headlines and heartaches, you’re in good company here. God gathers the weary and the worried and whispers hope. He knows about the tightness in your chest at 2 a.m., the text that didn’t come, the bill that did, the doctor’s words you keep ...read more
