    The Seven Churches-Laodicea Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 13, 2026
     | 120 views

    This church, the last of the Seven, received a strong message from the Lord Jesus Christ. Still, there is a tender and beautiful invitation in the last few verses. Have you opened the door to Jesus?

    The Seven Churches-Laodicea Introduction: (Full disclosure, this message is based on a sermon I preached at New Hope Baptist Church near Fulton, MO on November 30, 2025 but is not an exact transcription.) This last church of the Seven Churches is both a reminder and a warning to all people. The ...read more

    Drawn To The Light Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 17, 2026
     | 158 views

    The light of Christ does not eliminate darkness, but restores orientation—revealing what is true when perception is distorted and certainty feels misleading.

    Night flying has its own unique challenges. During the day, a pilot has constant reference points. The horizon. The ground. Landmarks that quietly tell you where you are in relation to everything else. At night, many of those references disappear. You can still fly. The aircraft still responds. ...read more

    God’s Word Is More Than Enough

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Feb 4, 2026
     | 55 views

    Do we truly believe that when God says something in His Word, the Bible, He means it? This message challenges us to examine what we truly believe about God's Word.

    Please open your Bibles to Psalm 119. We’re going to read verses 127 and 128. “Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. [And because I feel this way about your Word] Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.” ...read more

    The Joy Of The Lord PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 28, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 194 views

    True strength comes not from our own efforts, but from receiving and resting in the deep, sustaining joy that Jesus freely gives to us.

    Some weeks feel like a treadmill stuck on high speed. Emails multiply, news headlines weigh heavy, and the to-do list seems to lengthen while our energy shortens. Maybe your smile has been performing overtime while your heart has been running on empty. Friend, you’re not alone. And you’re not left ...read more

    Small Things Matter PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 28, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 190 views

    God values faithfulness in small, unseen acts; our ordinary, everyday obedience matters deeply and shapes us for greater purposes in His kingdom.

    If you’ve ever held a mustard seed between your fingers, you know how small it is—hardly more than a speck. Yet tucked inside that tiny shell is a towering tree in the making. In the same way, God tucks holy possibility into small places: the quiet errand, the thank-you note, the picked-up towel, ...read more

    The Kingdom Is Like... PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 29, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 91 views

    God works powerfully through small, unnoticed beginnings; our efforts and prayers matter because His presence transforms the ordinary into something eternally significant.

    Friends, if we had coffee together this morning and you told me you felt small, overmatched, or unnoticed, I’d nod and say, “You’re in good company.” Jesus often started with small things—a seed in the palm of a hand, a pinch of yeast tucked into dough, a field under a wide sky. He meets us in ...read more

    Joy Of Real Revival PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 1, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 191 views

    True revival is living daily in the Spirit’s righteousness, peace, and joy, letting God’s love transform ordinary moments and relationships into Kingdom life.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that’s doing a lot of work. Bills stack up, headlines shout, and our own hearts whisper old worries with new volume. And yet, into that ache comes a whisper stronger than worry: the King is here, and where the King is, joy begins to sing. Not a thin grin, not ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 101 views

    True stability and rest are found by knowing God through Jesus, the Bread of Life, who anchors us when life feels uncertain and overwhelming.

    Some weeks feel like riding a rickety elevator: you’re not sure what floor you’ll land on, you just hope the doors open and you can step out standing. The headlines howl, the inbox fills, the calendar crowds. You try to smile, but your soul sighs. Have you felt that lately? Have you wondered, ...read more

    Spurring One Another PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 3, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 165 views

    The sermon emphasizes the vital role of gathering as a church community to encourage, support, and strengthen one another in love and faith as we follow Christ.

    There’s a sacred sweetness in the sound of gathered voices. A familiar face across the aisle. A hug that lingers just a moment longer than usual. Coffee cups, creaky pews, and kind words. It all whispers a truth our souls know well: we are meant to be together. Life presses in with long weeks and ...read more

    And Enoch Walked With God PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 3, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 206 views

    The sermon urges believers to pursue a daily, intimate walk with God like Enoch, prioritizing faithfulness and devotion over worldly achievement or recognition.

    If you’ve ever taken a slow walk with someone you love, you know the wonder of it. The world rushes, but your pace becomes conversation, companionship, and comfort. You notice what you’d miss at a sprint—the birdsong, the breeze, the steady presence at your side. Scripture tells us of a man who ...read more

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 3, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 109 views

    God’s abundant goodness invites us to pray boldly and expectantly, trusting His faithfulness to do more than we can imagine or ask.

    If you’ve ever stood on the shore at dawn, watching waves roll in one after another, you know something about the heart of God. His goodness doesn’t trickle; it tumbles. His grace doesn’t drip; it drenches. He is the God who fills empty nets, feeds hungry crowds, and whispers to weary hearts, “I ...read more

    Bearing Fruit PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 4, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 135 views

    Abiding in Jesus, not striving, is the source of true spiritual fruitfulness; staying connected to Him transforms our lives and shapes our prayers.

    If you walked in tired, tangled, and trying to hold it all together, you are in good company. Life can feel like a crowded trellis—obligations climbing, expectations twisting, emotions wrapping around us in every direction. Some of us carry quiet questions: Am I growing? Is anything lasting coming ...read more

    Better Together PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 5, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 127 views

    The sermon emphasizes the grace and necessity of Christian community, highlighting how God designed us to support, encourage, and walk alongside one another in life.

    There’s a quiet kind of courage in the person who shows up for another. A text that says, “I’m here.” A hand that steadies the ladder. A shoulder that catches tears. If you think back across the years, who taught you that you don’t have to carry the couch alone? Who sat in the waiting room when ...read more

    Crowns You With Lovingkindness And Tender Mercies PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 5, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 161 views

    God meets us in our lowest places, lifts us with His grace, and restores us with lovingkindness, inviting us to live in grateful trust.

    Have you ever felt like life lowered you into a pit and then took the ladder away? The walls are slick with worry, the floor is sticky with regret, and every echo from the past seems louder than hope. David knew that feeling. He wrote like a man who had mud on his boots and a song in his mouth. In ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 128 views

    Gratitude transforms us when we respond to Jesus’ mercy with obedience and thanksgiving, drawing us closer to God and shaping our hearts through prayer.

    Some of us walked in today with weary hearts, carrying questions that don’t quiet down when the lights go out. Have you ever felt like those lepers in Scripture—near enough to hear hope, far enough to feel invisible? Maybe you’ve been standing “afar off,” waiting for a word, wondering if God still ...read more
