    How Should I Fight If The Battle Is The Lord's? PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Nov 3, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 126 views

    Trust God to fight your battles; respond with prayer and praise, knowing His presence and power are greater than any fear or opposition you face.

    Some mornings the alarm clock sounds like a starter pistol. We leap from bed straight into a race we didn’t sign up for—emails, meetings, bills, a stack of must-do’s. And then there are the battles no calendar can predict: the doctor’s report that makes your heart pound, the prodigal child who has ...read more

    God’s unwavering love secures us in every circumstance; nothing can separate us from His acceptance and care through Jesus, no matter our struggles or failures.

    If you came in today carrying a quiet ache, you’re in good company. Life has a way of piling up—bills and burdens, deadlines and diagnoses, misunderstandings and midnight worries. Sometimes the questions come quicker than answers: Who stands with me? Who speaks for me? Who will see me through? The ...read more

    The Anger Issue

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Sep 4, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,806 views

    When our temperature begins to rise, and we start to get angry over a slight or a wrong, what are we to do? I mean, is it possible to be angry and not sin? In Sunday Morning’s message will be looking at what the Bible says, “Be angry, and do not sin.”

    The Anger Issue Ephesians 4:26-27 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpH0NtBfAWY In the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church in Ephesus, he makes one of the most controversial and one of the most discussed statements from his writings, if not in the Bible itself. “Be angry, and do not sin: ...read more

    David And Bathsheba Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 5, 2022
     | 4,078 views

    Following his rise to power, David conquered the city of Jerusalem. He established it as Israel's capital, subsequently taking the Ark of the Covenant into the city to be the central point of worship in the Israelite religion.

    According to the Hebrew Bible, David was the third king of the United Kingdom of Israel. In the Books of Samuel, he is described as a young shepherd and harpist who gains fame by slaying Goliath, a champion of the Philistines, in southern Canaan. David becomes a favorite of Saul, the first king of ...read more

    Abraham & Sarah’s Life Of Faith Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Sep 20, 2022
     | 3,806 views

    Abraham’s faith produced obedience to the God who gave him promises. He based his life upon the future fulfillment of divine promises. He exhibited his faith by living the present life in the hope of the future fulfillment of God’s promises.

    HEBREWS 11: 8-12 ABRAHAM & SARAH’S LIFE OF FAITH [Leaving a Legacy Series] [Romans 4:20-22; Acts 7:2-5; Gen. 12, 17, 18] There are only two ways to live. One way, by far the most common, is to live by sight, to base everything on what you can see. This is an empirical or scientific way. ...read more

    It is a blessed privilege when we as fellow humans beings are able, in the mist of family and friends who are hurting, when we are able to put our arms around them to be a source of strength and comfort.

    How blessed we are that the Lord has allowed us to make our way into His house, once again. That is why we ought to take advantage of ever opportunity we have to be a part of worship. Amen. Because there may come a day when you want to get here and not be able to. Then you won’t have to sit at home ...read more

    The Beginning Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 2, 2022
     | 3,587 views

    This is the opening sermon for a series based on The Book of Proverbs. I thought it would be a good idea to start a series based on the preeminent book of wisdom literature by discussing and defining what the book means by "wisdom" starting with the first chapter of The Book of Proverbs.

    [Hold up Bible.] I love this book. You’ve heard me refer to it as “The Owner’s Manual.” It contains stories, history, poetry, adventure, drama. It contains hymns. It contains theology, philosophy, and it contains wisdom. Every book in the Bible is there for a reason. Believe it or not, not ...read more

    Unexpected Converts

    Grace. Those most people thought were least likely to become God’s people are the ones who come to Christ; while the ones often thought to be most likely became his enemies.

    Two of the surprises that we come across as we read the New Testament are the people who become close to Jesus, and the people who are alienated from Jesus. It is surprising because it is exactly the opposite of what we would expect to find. We would expect Jesus to be close to the religious folk ...read more

    Saul did it his way because he was filled with pride, was controlled by impulse, and driven by rebellion.

    Patrick O’Boyle tells about an incident in Hyde Park, a large public park in London, England, famous for its soapbox orators. He recalls one particular day, back in the 1940’s, when Frank Sheed, a Christian author and publisher was addressing the crowd in the “Speakers’ Corner.” He writes: “Sheed ...read more

    What God does is eternal -- We are surprised by significance. What God does is impossible -- We are surprised by power. What God does is unexpected -- We are surprised by joy.

    I will never forget walking into the funeral home several years ago to meet with the family who had just lost a 40-year-old son and husband. He was not dressed in a typical suit, but a pair of bib overhauls and a dirty ball cap. He had died of a heart attack, but in the pocket of his ...read more
