If You Love Me Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 8, 2023

The sermon explores the challenge of obeying Jesus' commands of love, forgiveness, and mercy, and the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering believers to live out these commands.

I think we can all admit here today that obedience is difficult. It’s difficult to learn, difficult to teach, and it’s a difficult process to watch play out in the lives of others around us. It’s not something we’re good at, hard wired for, or frankly… enjoy. Once upon a time, there was a young ...read more

Throw The First Stone

Contributed by Samuel M on Oct 17, 2024

Jesus had every right and authority to throw the first stone, but he never chose to throw the first throne. It was a decision he chose to take – never to throw the stone or the first stone. Love was the decision he chose to take.

But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” John 8:6-7 When the woman was caught in the act of adultery ...read more

Lord’s Prayer 11: Forgiveness Of Sins Series

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Oct 30, 2024

Lord’s Prayer 11: Forgiveness of Sins All his life, an old man had been a sceptic, especially about religion. Now he was dying and his friends asked him if he would like them to send for the parish priest to minister the last rites. 'No,' he said, 'God will forgive me - that's ...read more

Sermon On The Pothole Experience

Contributed by William Meakin on Sep 28, 2025

The metaphorical "pothole experience” is considered as the unforeseen obstacles, setbacks, and difficult challenges that may jolt or derail a person's journey in life, similar to how actual potholes disrupt a smooth road.

Drew Barrymore, an American actress once remarked: “Oh, I would love to be a motivational speaker. I have pulled myself out of a million potholes, and I can see the potholes ahead of me. That doesn't mean that I could always do that so perfectly for my own life. I totally fall in potholes.” ...read more

A "journey to the light" has multi-faceted definitions which describe a metaphorical, spiritual, or personal process of growth, healing, and transformation, moving from a state of darkness, ignorance, or despair towards knowledge, hope, and enlightenment.

Lao Tzu, a Chinese philosopher and writer once remarked: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". John 8:12 reminds us: Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” A ...read more

Why Bethlehem?

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 10, 2024

Bethlehem was a tiny insignificant town; it wasn't an industrial, educational, or financial place. Just one of 1,000s of little towns. But God chose to bring the greatest thing in the world out of it. God can do that with your life too!

WHY BETHLEHEM? Mic. 5:2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A 3 year old was helping his mother unpack their nativity set. He announced each piece as he unwrapped it from its tissue paper. “Here’s a donkey!” “Here’s a king!” 2. When he got to an infant molded into a manger, he proclaimed, “Here’s Baby ...read more

Sermon On A Sacred Birth

Contributed by William Meakin on Dec 30, 2024

Birth is generally defined as the emergence of a baby or other young from the body of its mother. It encompasses the start of life as a physically separate being.

Richelle E. Goodrich, an American author once remarked: “New light in the sky announces a sacred birth. Shine brightly young star. Hallelujah song carries on a gentle wind, heralding a king. Shepherds lift their heads, not to gaze at a new light but to hear angels. ‘Unto you is born in the city of ...read more
