    Will You Give Him Thanks? PRO Sermon

     | 179 views

    Gratitude transforms our lives; when we return to thank Jesus for His mercy, we experience deeper wholeness and the richness only gratitude can bring.

    Some of the most powerful moments in Scripture begin with a simple cry for help. Think about it: a whisper becomes a waterfall, a sigh becomes a song. When weary people raise faint voices to heaven, heaven hears. In Luke 17, ten tired men lifted ten shaky prayers. They were outcasts, pushed to the ...read more

    The sermon encourages believers to rely on God’s strength and spiritual armor to stand firm and confident in Christ’s victory amid life’s spiritual battles.

    Friend, if your week felt like a wrestling match, you’re in good company. Life has a way of stacking bricks on the back—duties that demand, headlines that hammer, whispers that weigh heavy. And then there’s that quiet pressure you can’t quite name. You can tidy the kitchen and tame the calendar, ...read more

     | 106 views

    True faith is shown by obeying Jesus’ words, building our lives on His foundation so we stand firm through life’s storms.

    Friends, some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a storm in our chest. The winds may not be rattling your windows, but they might be rattling your peace. A report you didn’t expect. A bill you can’t pay. A relationship you’re not sure will hold. Have you ever felt the floorboards of ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 76 views

    Jesus invites us to bring our deepest, honest desires to Him in prayer, trusting His compassion and power to transform our lives.

    If you could hear Jesus ask you one question today—face to face, heart to heart—what would you hope He’d ask? And if He asked, “What do you want me to do for you?” what would rise to your lips before you could filter it—before fear, pride, or past disappointments edited your answer? Some of us ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 77 views

    God renews our strength when we are weary; waiting on Him in prayer brings hope, endurance, and the power to rise above life’s burdens.

    If your soul has been sighing lately, you’re in good company. The headlines rumble, the calendar’s crowded, the phone keeps pinging, and somewhere between Monday morning and midnight worries, strength leaks and hope limps. You’ve prayed for healing and still hurt. You’ve asked for clarity and still ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 83 views

    God calls us to consecrate ourselves—living holy, set-apart lives—so we are ready for Him to work wonders in and through us.

    There’s a hush that falls over the heart when you sense God is nearby. Not in the thunder, not even in the headlines, but in the ordinary—the kettle singing in the kitchen, a lunch pail packed for work, the Bible open on a worn table. In those moments, something within whispers, “Get ready.” ...read more

    The sermon calls us to embody Christ’s selfless love in everyday actions, making His love visible through unity, humility, forgiveness, and patient care for one another.

    Good morning, dear friends. If your week felt hurried and your heart feels thin, you’re in the right place. Take a breath. Set your shoulders down. Imagine the Savior kneeling with a towel at His waist, looking into the eyes of people who would soon scatter, and speaking a command as tender as it ...read more

     | 164 views

    God graciously calls us to return, lay down our burdens and idols, and receive renewed identity, mercy, and blessing through His faithful love.

    Some of God’s kindest invitations arrive in a single word: Return. When life feels scattered and the heart feels thin, the Father whispers, “Come back to the place where you first heard My voice.” Maybe you know that tug. Maybe the calendar is packed, the nights are long, and your soul has been ...read more

     | 107 views

    God intimately sees, hears, and cares for us in every trial, offering steadfast love, comfort, and deliverance to the brokenhearted and trusting.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides a storm. Bills on the table, biopsy on the calendar, battles in the soul. Others carry a quiet ache—an empty chair at dinner, a friendship gone cold, a door that never opened. If you feel overlooked, unheard, unseen—hear this: the God who flung ...read more

    This sermon urges believers to choose love over judgment, removing obstacles for others and fostering a gentle, supportive community that reflects Christ’s kindness.

    Friends, welcome. Take a breath. Let your shoulders drop a bit. I don’t know what you carried in today—opinions that feel heavy, tensions that won’t unwind, or that low ache that comes from wishing people saw things your way. Church can feel like a crowded dinner table where everyone brings a ...read more

    Jesus lovingly exposes our self-sufficiency, invites us to deeper dependence on Him, and offers restoration, hope, and true riches for our lukewarm hearts.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile for the foyer and a sigh for the soul. Bills on the counter, deadlines on the calendar, questions on the heart. And yet, here we are, gathering around a Letter from Jesus to an ancient church in a city called Laodicea—a church with polished doors and tepid ...read more

    True faith is shown through obedient action to Jesus’ words, building a life that stands firm through life’s storms by relying on Him as our foundation.

    Welcome, friends. Some of us walked in today with the week still clinging to us like rain-soaked coats—news that unsettled, bills that piled up, a diagnosis that won’t leave the mind alone, a loneliness that lingers even in a crowded room. Life has a way of sending squalls without notice. The phone ...read more

     | 63 views

    God promises healing, hope, and restoration to those who fear Him, calling us to renewed faith, obedience, and wholehearted devotion amid life’s challenges.

    Friends, some mornings feel like the sky forgot to wake up. The headlines are heavy, our homes can be hurried, and our hearts carry more than they let on. Yet right in the pages of Scripture, God promises a sunrise. Not just any sunrise, but the “Sun of righteousness” with healing in His wings. Can ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 96 views

    True worship begins with surrender at God’s altar, where we lay down our lives and receive grace through Christ’s ultimate sacrifice.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides the tired places of the soul. Some of us carried questions that feel too heavy to say out loud. And some of us came hungry for hope, like parched ground waiting for rain. Friend, you are seen. You are welcome. You are loved. In this moment, with ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 124 views

    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
