    Faith On Autopilot – Going Through The Motions Without Heart Series

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Sep 27, 2025
     | 284 views

    There’s comfort in routine. Singing the same hymns, praying the same prayers, sitting in the same pew each Sunday—it all feels safe. But these familiar patterns can lull us into a dangerous place: performing religion instead of pursuing Jesus.

    Title: Faith on Autopilot – Going Through the Motions Without Heart Text: Matt. 15:8-9 ‘This people honors me with their lips but their heart is far from me; 9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ “When routine replaces relationship” Introduction: “When faith ...read more

    Contributed by Charles Payne on Oct 22, 2025
     | 76 views

    his sermon explores how God does more than forgive sexual sin—He retrains desire itself. It shows how repeated sin creates reflexive pathways in the heart and mind, and how grace restores intimacy by building a new spiritual “trail” toward purity.

    Rewiring the Heart: When Purity Becomes Pleasure Again Text: Matthew 5:8 Tagline: A sermon about how God retrains desire, not just forgives failure. ________________________________________ PROLOGUE Some sins wound the conscience — but others rewire the heart. Some sins break fellowship — but ...read more

    Thy Word I Have Hidden In My Heart Series

    Psalm 119 isn’t blasé about God’s commandments. Psalm 119 isn’t neural about God’s precepts. Psalm 119 loves and adores the law of God!

    Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in all of your Bibles. Now, the longest chapter in your Bible is devoted to how important the Bible is to our lives. Even though the Bible is really valuable, the words and wisdom of the Bible are objectionable to so many people. Banning the Bible The Bible is ...read more

    Sermon # 1 - God's Bountiful Heart Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 22, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,592 views

    What is the secret to a life of overflowing abundance? There’s much we can learn from the life of David and Abraham. God can bless abundantly if only we can follow certain principles, and let go of thoughts and attitudes that displease God.

    We read in 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) This is Paul’s words to the church at Corinth and he wished them that they would be full and overflowing with ...read more

    until you admit you’ve got a problem, God won’t help you with that problem!

    · A common saying in our culture is, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” meaning basically, “If it’s still tolerably functional, leave it alone.” · Many people live their lives that way as well. Their motto is, “My life is functioning just fine, so I don’t need ‘fixing’ – I don’t have any ...read more

    I Met Him And He Gave Me A New Heart Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 11, 2021

    Saul’s conversion into Paul is an example of the fact that no one is too far from God or too far beyond God’s reach or God’s power to save, to transform a person, and give them a new heart … a heart for Him alone.

    Today, doctors can literally give you a new heart … well, new to you at least. It once belonged to someone else. Someday medical science may be able to give us a mechanical heart … but I truly believe that only God can give you a change of heart. When I say that, I’m not talking about this ...read more
