    God lovingly exposes our hidden flaws to awaken us, inviting us to repentance and restoration through His grace, not shame, so we may return to Him.

    Some mornings the mirror tells the truth better than our memories. You’re brushing your teeth and you notice a new gray hair. It didn’t ask permission to arrive. It just showed up, whispering, “Time is moving. Pay attention.” Gray hairs have a way of doing that—gently alerting us to what we have ...read more

  • Is God's Word Strange To You? PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 6, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 92 views

    The sermon urges us to embrace God’s Word even when it challenges us, reminding us true faith means letting God, not ourselves, define truth.

    Some words woo us with comfort; others confront us with change. When the Lord speaks, His words carry weight that wakes us up. We sense His sentences brushing the dust off our Bibles and the haze off our hearts. Sometimes the pages feel prickly, passages puzzle us, and precepts press against our ...read more

    If your week has worn thin and your soul feels tired, welcome. You’re in the right place. God meets us in the ordinary and the overwhelmed.

    God lovingly keeps us from falling, presents us blameless with joy, and deserves our wholehearted worship because His grace is greater than our weakness.

    Some of us limped in today. Some wandered in with a smile that is doing its best to hide a storm. Others came in steady, but even the steady among us know how slick life can be. Faith can feel like walking on wet marble—heart in your throat, palms open, hoping you won’t go sliding. Do you ever feel ...read more

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 18, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 210 views

    Following Jesus means surrendering our comfort and control, embracing self-denial, and trusting that true life and reward are found in obedient discipleship with Him.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a storm in our chest. The calendar is crowded, the heart is heavy, and the questions are louder than ever. You’ve been faithful, you’ve prayed, you’ve pressed on—and still, there are days when following Jesus feels like walking uphill with a ...read more

    God invites ordinary people to partner with Him, building lives of lasting significance through faithful service, rooted in Christ and empowered by His presence.

    Some mornings I picture the Father handing us a hard hat and a pair of work gloves, smiling as if to say, “Come with Me. Let’s build something beautiful.” Can you see it? The sun coming up over a field that’s waiting for seed, a foundation ready for bricks, and God inviting ordinary people—people ...read more

    This sermon affirms that every person is intentionally created by God, valued beyond comparison, and called to embrace their unique purpose and daily acts of care.

    Friend, pull up a chair and take a deep breath. If your week felt like spilled cereal, missing socks, and schedules that didn’t stick, you’re in good company. If you’re a mom who has whispered prayers in the pantry, a grandmother who still carries names in a worn-out prayer journal, a woman whose ...read more

     | 81 views

    The sermon calls us to abandon empty rituals and idols, turning instead to wholehearted worship of the living God who alone gives true life and meaning.

    Welcome, friend. Pull up a chair in your heart for a few quiet minutes. Imagine the sound of pages turning, the scent of a well-worn Bible, the gentle hush that settles when God’s people lean in to listen. Some weeks feel hurried, don’t they?

     | 114 views

    God’s presence with us overcomes the enemy’s attempts to steal our peace, offering abundant life, hope, and strength through Jesus in every circumstance.

    Some weeks feel like someone sneaked into the pantry of our souls and walked off with the peace we thought we had stored for days like these. Distractions multiply. Weariness whispers. Worry shouts. And our hearts wonder: Where did my joy go? Why does hope seem thin? Why do I feel like I’m fighting ...read more

    An academically rigorous, 1 week rabbit trail talking about generational punishments/curses, mostly following (and maybe slightly improving on) Margaret Odell's Ezekiel commentary.

    Today, we have the privilege of working through a chapter of the Bible that I've been unsettled about, and wrestled with off and on, and changed my mind back and forth, for over 20 years. Ezekiel 18. If you're not familiar with the passage, that's fabulous. That's great. If you ...read more

  • I Have A Friend Who Thinks That The Bible Is Just Another Book

    Contributed by Steve Malone on Mar 11, 2003
    based on 81 ratings
     | 3,067 views

    If God who we know exists were to write a book - we would expect it to be unique (to be in a class all by itself) accurate (we could trust what it says) and supernatural (it would know stuff that only God could know) - I contend the bible is such a book.

    I Have A Friend Who… (pt 2) Thinks The Bible Is Just Another Book Last week we began a new message series called – “I Have A Friend Who…” The theme verse is 1 Peter 3:15… “…always be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with ...read more

    Forgiveness Given and Received Matthew 6:9-15 Please stand with me as we read together this morning’s very familiar text. It is a prayer, and so we can read it like a prayer to God today. Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be honored. May your Kingdom come soon. ...read more
