Funeral Sermon For A Sweet Sister And Aunt PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 30, 2025

Trusting Jesus brings peace amid life’s storms, as He prepares a true home for us and invites us to reflect His welcoming love to others.

If you’ve ever come home on a rainy night, you know the relief of a porch light and a door that opens. Shoes squeak, coat drips, and someone says, "You’re here. Sit down. You’re safe." Isn’t it something how a house can feel like a hug? Smells of supper in the air, a chair pulled out just for you, ...read more

A Sure Foundation In Jesus PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 31, 2025

True faith stands firm through life’s storms when built on obedience to Jesus, who alone provides the unshakable foundation our hearts need.

Friend, storms don’t make appointments. They don’t text ahead, and they don’t knock politely. They gather on the horizon and muscle their way into our Mondays. A pink slip on a Friday. A diagnosis on a Tuesday. A call at midnight that drops you to your knees. And there you stand in the downpour, ...read more

He Is A Keeper PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Nov 3, 2025

God is our ever-present, unfailing Helper and Keeper, offering constant care and strength amid life’s uncertainties, inviting us to trust Him completely.

Some of us walked in today with quiet questions in our hearts. How long will this last? Where will the help come from? The world can feel like a wall of hills, looming larger than our strength. When the bills stack up, when the diagnosis surprises, when the nights stretch on, the soul starts ...read more

The Cross PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Nov 3, 2025

Following Jesus means daily self-denial and cross-bearing, trusting His worth and grace, and surrendering our lives to His call in every circumstance.

Friends, welcome. Some of us arrived with hurried hearts and heavy hands. Some of us smiled at the door and sighed in the seat. Wherever you are, come close. Hear the whisper of Jesus that cuts through the noise and the nagging: I see you. I love you. Walk with Me. He doesn’t wave us onward like a ...read more

Endurance In Christ Alone PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Nov 3, 2025

Amidst a troubled world, Jesus calls us to courageous endurance, promising his presence and transforming our hardships into opportunities to bear witness to him.

Some weeks the headlines feel heavy, don’t they? Nations rattling sabers, markets jumping, storms brewing, friendships fraying. You read another alert on your phone and feel that tug of worry in your chest. Will my kids be okay? Will my job hold? Will the world ever quiet down? You’re not alone. ...read more

Hope PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Nov 4, 2025

This sermon encourages steadfast hope in God’s promises, trusting Him through unseen and uncertain times, and patiently waiting for His faithful fulfillment.

Friends, take a deep breath. If your week has felt like a thousand tiny cuts—emails unanswered, hopes on hold, prayers that feel like whispers in a windstorm—you are not alone. Hope can feel thin on Thursday afternoons and threadbare by Saturday night. Yet right here, in the everyday ache and the ...read more

What You Have Defines Your Worth Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Jul 14, 2025

The world says your value is measured by what you own—status, wealth, and accomplishments. But God says your worth is found in who you are (your character) and whose you are (your identity in Christ). We are not defined by what we accumulate, but by our foundation in Him.

Back To The Basics

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 16, 2025

Whether we are little ones or big kids, we belong to Jesus, too. We are weak, and he is strong.

When I first started seminary, I heard a rumor that shocked me. I heard that Christian ministry is a very competitive field, that churches and pastors compete with one another, and that within churches individuals compete for position and status. But after I thought it over, I realized that of ...read more

Faithful Builders

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Aug 1, 2025

One would think that with Paul and Apollos being their foundation layer and builders, the church in Corinth would be near perfect. But here we are, reading about how imperfect they were.

Faithful Builders 1Cor 3:5-23 One of the things I love about Paul’s letters to the Corinthians is that we’re shown a church that was pretty messed up. Despite the fact that Paul had planted this church, and then at some later date Apollos came and built upon what Paul had started, they still got ...read more
