    Peace Of God

    Contributed by Rich O' Toole on Jul 16, 2024
     | 1,257 views

    Paul instructs his readers to pray instead of worrying

    Peace of God Philippians 4:1-7 Good morning. “Peace on earth” is a phrase we always hear around Christmas, but as we look at our world, many ask, “Where is the peace?” Because in our chaotic world “peace on earth” seems elusive. This morning, I would like to begin with a Bible verse which is a ...read more

    "Woe To You": Avoiding The Pharisees’ Mistakes About Faith Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 4, 2025
     | 424 views

    Jesus' criticism of the religious leaders provides several insights into what genuine faith is supposed to look like.

    WRONG WAY: Jesus rejected the Pharisees’ approach to faith. - Luke 11:37-38. - Jesus gets invited to dine with a Pharisee and He goes. That in itself is interesting: Jesus is engaging with those who are His most vociferous enemies. - Why did He do that? I think there are at least a couple ...read more

    The Idols That Make Us Idle

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 20, 2025
     | 311 views

    It is not unusual to hear a teenager or adults these days say, I AM BORED!!! The word “Bored” originates from the verb “bore”, which means to pierce or drill. The term has evolved over time to describe a feeling of emptiness or lack of interest, often associated with a dull life.

    God did not put us here to live a life of boredom!!! The Word of God tells us Eccl.9:10, Whatsoever Thy Hands Findeth to do, do it with all thy might. Reading that verse of scripture does not describe a life of boredom. Illus: Isaac Watts said: Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to ...read more

    Sermon - The Paradox Of Biblical Faith

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 15, 2024
     | 1,004 views

    Believers today must likewise persevere in faith and trust God, even when they do not see all the promises of God fulfilled in their lives. The faith that pleases God is a faith that can surrender God's promises back to Him and trust God for their fulfillment according to His will.

    Subject: The Paradox of Biblical Faith Scripture Text: Hebrews 11:13-16 "All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on May 12, 2025
     | 598 views

    Questions and doubts can stand in the way of a person becoming a follower of Jesus. God is able and willing to work through us to help people get beyond their barriers to belief.

    When I Pray PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 15, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 182 views

    Prayer is a powerful, intimate encounter with God that brings healing, unity, and hope when we approach Him honestly and support one another.

    Some of us walked in today with a whisper instead of a shout. Hearts carry heavy headlines—doctor’s reports, strained relationships, silent worries that keep us wide awake at 3 a.m. You’ve prayed before, and maybe your prayer felt like a paper airplane tossed into a hurricane. But friend, the God ...read more

    Light Of Men PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 211 views

    God’s constant presence brings hope and steadiness in our darkest, most anxious moments, reminding us that His light always shines and overcomes.

    Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache we can’t quite name. Sleep came late. Worry came early. Headlines are heavy, homes feel hurried, and hearts can feel hollowed out by the constant ache of a hard week. We carry questions to our pews: Will the light hold? Will hope last? Does God really ...read more

     | 37,186 views

    Humbleness is a modest estimation of one’s self Humbleness is a self-abased attitude. To be a Christian is to be like Christ not just going to church.

    Developing Christian Character The Characteristic of “Humility” The Bible says in Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are high above the earth so are my ways above your ways and my thoughts above your ...read more

    God's commands are to be obeyed. We excuse disobedience at the threat of divine judgement.

    “An old prophet lived in Bethel. And his sons came and told him all that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told to their father the words that he had spoken to the king. And their father said to them, ‘Which way did he go?’ And his sons showed him the way that the man of God ...read more

    In admonishing the believer to walk according to what God has called them, Paul lists the primary things that set the Christian apart (#11 in the Unfathomable Love of Christ series)

    “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, entreat you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing forbearance to one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” ...read more

    Cutting Through The Legalese Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 17, 2003
    based on 50 ratings
     | 6,108 views

    We look for loopholes in what God has called us to do, but the Bible calls us to a proactive lifestyle, it makes us face who we really are, and it calls us to accountability.

    Some of us love to take the simple and make it complex. Some of us thrive on taking perfectly obvious matters and making them as obscure as possible. My neighbor’s car has on it a bumper sticker that says, “Eschew obfuscation”. After about a half-hour with the dictionary, I found out that means, ...read more

     | 8,048 views

    If we believe that He came, that He died, that He rose, that He ascended, then we must believe He will come again. He said so.

    Most of what I want to say today is familiar territory to most of us. But I want to serve it to you afresh today for two reasons. The first is that there may be some, or even one here, to whom this will be new; and in that case, it is important, and more than that, my duty, to present it. ...read more

    Part two of the "Holding Out for a Hero" series, examining the story of David and Goliath and asking "What are the giants we face and how do find victory instead of defeat?"

    HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO “May the Force Be With You” Wouldn’t it be great to have super powers?

     | 21,799 views

    When frustration abounds, in prayer we can discover deepened relationships, new possibilities, and ultimately grace.

    For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him; therefore your servant has found it possible to pray before you. Isn’t that an intriguing phrase? “Your servant has found it possible to pray.” My theme for today is “when nothing seems possible, pray.” “When ...read more
