    Walk By Faith And Not By Sight PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 1, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 272 views

    Trusting God means obeying Him even when the path is unclear; true faith is shown through daily, courageous steps of obedience rooted in His promises.

    Some mornings feel like a fog has rolled in and parked on the path right in front of you. You can see your feet, maybe the next step, yet the road ahead stays hidden. Bills stack up, doctors call back, kids cry, doors close, and the heart whispers, “Lord, what do I do now?” In moments like these, ...read more

    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

    What Is Greatness?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024
     | 793 views

    Jesus our God came to serve. And even to die, to give his life as a ransom for many! To die for us, to empty himself of divine power and authority and serve those in need. That is true greatness.

    I recall a meme I saw online, it had a picture of a janitorial supply cart and it said, "Called to ministry? This will be your first pulpit." Truer words were never spoken. My first five years in ministry I mopped a lot of floors, and believe me, I expect more floors in the future. ...read more
