    God Sees Our Hearts PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 10, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 113 views

    God calls us to honest, wholehearted integrity—living openly before Him and others—because true freedom and joy are found in sincerity, not in appearances.

    Some passages ease into our living rooms like an old friend, and some step onto the front porch and ring the bell with urgency. Acts 5 is one of those moments. It invites us to sit still, to listen closely, and to remember that God cares about what we hold in our hands and what we hide in our ...read more

    When God rises in our lives through prayer, fear and troubles scatter, and His presence brings peace, joy, and hope to our hearts.

    Some mornings feel heavier than others, don’t they? The alarm sounds, the headlines scream, the to-do list grows, and your heart whispers, “Lord, I could use some help here.” You’re not asking for fireworks. You’re asking for a Father. You’re asking for a God who stands up in the storm and says, ...read more

    The Heart Of Forgiveness Series

    Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Aug 9, 2012
     | 4,522 views

    Forgiveness is a choice to pardon someone for which they do not deserve. Just as we have been forgiven, we are to forgive. It is not easy, but it is possible when God is in it.

    The heart of Forgiveness Matthew 6:14-16 Introduction I want to continue our series “Nuts and Bolts of life.” We have looked at several areas of our lives that we depend on God to give us guidance and direction. This morning I want to look at forgiveness, and with it also ...read more

    If we are to mature in the faith, if we are to have Jesus as Lord of every aspect of our life then we must yield all of who we are to him and when we do Jesus will be in the midst. Substantially Updated April 2018.

    Are All Sparrows Equal?

    Contributed by Mari Larson on Jun 15, 2014
     | 7,133 views

    Bad things do happen to good people. In Matthew 10, Jesus warns the disciples what will happen to them on their mission and then he reminds them that they were, are, and will be precious to God!

    It is clearly in our nature to rate and rank others. When Jesus tells us today that we are of more value than sparrows, we’re probably not surprised, but we may wonder about the hierarchy of creation. We’re worth more than sparrows, and sparrows are certainly worth more than ...read more

    Seeking Sinners Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Oct 6, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 13,286 views

    Jesus associated with sinners because their repentance brings great joy to heaven. The parables’ drama is built on the tension of an attempt to find what is lost. If the lost were important to Jesus, they should be important to His disciples.

    LUKE 15: 1-10 [PARABLES IN LUKE] SEEKING SINNERS [Jesus, Friend of Sinners] Why seek sinners? Chapter 15 contains three linked parables that explain why Jesus associates with sinners. Jesus associated with sinners who recognized their need of salvation and because their repentance brings ...read more

    Why Are Some Folks Annoyed At The Sound Of A Bell Dinging?

    Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Dec 6, 2013
     | 3,264 views

    You see them every year at Christmas time. Someone who stands at the entrance of a Wal-Mart or in a Mall ringing a bell and standing like a soldier beside a big red pot and most never saying anything other than “Merry Christmas”.

    Why are some folks annoyed at the sound of a bell dinging in their ear and some are not? John 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.33 For the bread of God is he which cometh ...read more

    In his first miracle in a little town called Cana, Jesus shows that God moves in the ordinary parts of our lives to bring about the extraordinary, all in an effort to build our faith in him.

    Water to Wine John 2:1-11 January 20, 2019 [Please contact me at kerry.n.haynes@gmail.com for sermon outline in Word.] I love the fact that Jesus did his first miracle at a wedding in a small Galilee town called Cana.
