    Will You Give Him Thanks? PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 217 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

    God Sees Our Hearts PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 129 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

    Committing To Our Mission PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 196 views

    God calls us to see our everyday places and relationships as mission fields, inviting us to share His love and presence wherever we are.

    If we could sit across a kitchen table together this morning, coffee steaming, hearts open, I’d ask you a gentle question: Where did Jesus meet you this week? In a car line with cranky kiddos? In a conference call that felt like it would never end? At a mailbox where the bill looked bigger than the ...read more

     | 97 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

    Lost And Found PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 24, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 225 views

    Jesus sees, calls, and transforms the overlooked and broken, offering grace and belonging to all who respond to His invitation, no matter their past.

    Friends, picture it with me: a crowded street in Jericho, hot dust swirling, elbows and shoulders jostling for a glimpse of a traveling Teacher. At the edge of that scene is a man who feels small in more ways than one. He has money that can buy him furniture but not friends, status that sparks ...read more

    A Daughter’s Obedience And Sacrifice PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 170 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

    How David Overcame Fear PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 31, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 95 views

    Trusting God in the midst of fear means refusing to panic, anchoring ourselves in His Word, and passing courage to others through faith.

    If fear had a face, many of us could sketch it from memory. It’s the 2 a.m. visitor, the whisperer of what-ifs, the tightness in the chest that shows up when the phone rings, the inbox pings, or the doctor clears his throat. Fear creeps into bedrooms, boardrooms, and back pews. It visits ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 142 views

    The sermon urges us to open our hearts to God’s Word, allowing Him to transform us so we bear lasting spiritual fruit in our lives.

    Good morning, friends. I’m so glad we get to sit under the kindness of Jesus together today. If you could see my heart right now, you’d notice both a hunger and a hush—hunger for God’s voice and a hush that says, “Speak, Lord. I’m listening.” Isn’t that what we all long for? A steady word in a ...read more

    The love of God revealed in Christ frees us from sorrow and empowers us to run in thankful service to him

    Sermonette Text: Psalm 119: 25-32 Pentecost 12 -- Mission Festival “Hit the dirt! Take cover!” Those are words spoken by someone on the defensive. You’d expect soldiers to shout such things.

    In 2 Chronicles 7:14 it says, "if my people". Moses shares with us who we are in the presence of God. We need revival in our hearts and lives that will conform us to the identity of Christ.

    PROVISIONS OF GOD Ex. 34:8-10 INTRO: Famous Violinist Setting out from Hamburg, Germany, one day to give a concert in London, violinist Fritz Kreisler had an hour before his boat sailed.

    Isaiah 6:1-8 I Have A Dream Today we honor fathers and we honor father figures. Whether we are male or female, hopefully, growing up, we have dreams.

    The baggage counter of life is located in the mind. As we rise to meet the day we pick up dozens of extra burdens.

    # 1 in Series Following the Sheppard Psalms 23 Ps 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.

    It’s an important question. Without a plan, the noblest words are virtually meaningless. You can dream all you want but if you don’t have any direction for making dreams come true you are just dreaming the impossible dream.

    "Planning for a Future without Fear" HHM Pastor Jim Parisi March 23, 2002 During any political campaign candidates make all kinds of noble sounding promises. We hear about lower taxes, more spend-able income, more affordable health care, a stronger defense, a renewal of character. ...read more

    When we encounter people on the street that obviously live there are we turned off by them? Are we turned off socially? Is our compassion turned off? Do we love these people? Or more importantly, does God love them?

    Does God Really Love These Things? Part 2 Does God Love Lost People?
