I Don't Believe It's Over

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jan 23, 2023

The devil loves to see people hurting, feeling desperate and hopeless. He thrives on our pain, our fears and confusions, and frustrations. But God will take the worst that the devil can muster, and he will make it a doorway into the greatest glory that you have ever seen.

I'm going to say some things here today that you might have to think about. Let me start by saying the battles, the struggles, the warfare that you see and experience in the world today, it's not really about us fighting the devil.

Recognizing God PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 25, 2025

Trusting God’s timing in every season, we learn to wait with faith, knowing He is present and working even when we cannot see it.

Some of us came in today with calendars covered in scribbles and hearts heavy with questions. The clock keeps ticking, but the answer seems late. A prayer hangs in the air. A door stays shut. A dream feels shelved. We know God is good, we sing that God is faithful, yet our watches rarely match His ...read more

Life On Earth – Then Heaven Or Hell PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 5, 2025

Life is brief, eternity is real, and only what matters to Jesus endures—so trust Him, pursue what lasts, and live with eternal perspective.

Some moments halt us midstride. A chair sits empty at the table, the voicemail no longer arrives, a laugh once loud has grown quiet. Or maybe it’s the ordinary that gets our attention—the steam on the mirror that fades as fast as it forms, the birthday candles that seem to spin faster around the ...read more

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 6, 2025

Christ meets us in our weakness, supplying strength and love so we can persevere, serve others, and experience true courage in everyday life.

Some of us walked in with smiles; some of us walked in with sighs. Schedules feel heavy. Headlines howl. Bills pile, plates spin, and sleep sneaks away. You’ve tried to be strong for your people, and the strength ran thin. You’ve tried to be brave for your heart, and the courage felt small. If ...read more

God sees and cares about our daily choices, offering grace and accountability, inviting us to live honestly and confidently in His love.

If you’ve ever stood at the kitchen sink late at night, staring through the window while the day slowly settles, you know that tug inside—the whisper that asks, How did I do today? Did I choose well?

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 16, 2025

God uses our ordinary lives and small acts of integrity to shine Christ’s light, making a meaningful difference wherever we are placed.

Some of the most meaningful moments of grace happen in the middle of ordinary days. Between alarm clocks and car keys. Between lunches packed and emails sent. Somewhere between the grocery aisle and the front porch, God whispers a reminder: You carry light. You may not feel brilliant. You may feel ...read more

Remembering PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 25, 2025

God’s unwavering faithfulness means He never forgets us or His promises; His presence and covenant love sustain us through every season and circumstance.

Some of us keep a shoebox of memories. A faded ticket stub from the big game. A ribbon from a graduation cap. A hospital bracelet that once wrapped a tiny wrist. We keep them because they tell us who we are and whose we are. They steady us. They sing to us on stormy days. They whisper, You’ve been ...read more

God’s mercy offers second chances, inviting us to respond in obedience and repentance, turning ordinary steps of faith into opportunities for grace and transformation.

Some of us walked in today carrying second thoughts and stale regrets. Maybe the week wore you down and your prayers felt thin. Maybe a call from God sits on your heart like a note left on the kitchen table—short, simple, and somehow weighty: Go. Speak. Forgive. Begin again. If that’s you, Jonah 3 ...read more
