    The Word Gives Life PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 188 views

    Jesus’ promise gives present assurance of eternal life, freeing us from guilt and fear, and inviting us to trust fully in His finished work.

    Some words rearrange a room, don’t they? A doctor says, “It’s benign,” and shoulders drop. A coach calls your name, and you run to the field. A judge declares, “You’re free to go,” and the hallway home seems shorter. Words can wrap around us like a warm blanket on a windy night. And then there are ...read more

    God invites our weary, honest selves to find true rest in His presence, offering comfort and strength for every burden we carry.

    There’s a hush that comes when a roomful of tired hearts hears a kind voice. I believe that’s what this moment can be—a hush for hurried souls, a pause for people who have given their best and still feel thin, a holy breath for those who woke up weary. Some of us are carrying backpacks no one else ...read more

    Eyes In The Bible PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 104 views

    The sermon urges us to focus our attention on God, allowing His light to clear our vision and transform our hearts, actions, and perspective.

    Friends, have you ever tried to read with smudged glasses or looked through a windshield streaked with grime? You can see, but you can’t see well. Colors dull. Edges blur. You miss what’s right in front of you. Life can feel that way, can’t it? The calendar fills up, the news churns, the phone ...read more

    Life On Earth – Then Heaven Or Hell PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 4, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 110 views

    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

    Pastor Appreciation PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,188 views

    Jesus gives pastors as a loving gift to His church, calling us to honor, support, and pray for them as they shepherd and serve us.

    Some of the greatest gifts Jesus gives to His church have names and faces, coffee-stained sermon notes, calloused knees, and tender hearts. They stand at hospital bedsides, whisper prayers in empty sanctuaries, answer phone calls after midnight, and show up again on Sunday with a smile that says, ...read more

    Life Is Like A Tapestry PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 84 views

    Following Jesus means trusting Him through every joy and trial, knowing He leads us, shapes us, and walks with us every step of the way.

    Some days feel like a string of small skirmishes—spilled coffee on the way out the door, a terse email that stings, headlines that weigh heavy. Other days carry a deeper ache—an empty chair at the table, a diagnosis you didn’t see coming, a door closed that you prayed would open. In moments like ...read more

    The Testimony Of Jesus PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 98 views

    The sermon encourages steadfast obedience and faithful confession of Jesus despite spiritual opposition, assuring believers their perseverance matters and is empowered by Christ’s victory.

    If you’ve ever felt the sting of being misunderstood for loving Jesus, if you’ve ever sensed a shadow trying to smother your song, you’re in good company. The Bible is honest about that ache. It doesn’t gloss over the grit. It names the Enemy. It speaks of a dragon. It recognizes that there is ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 255 views

    Jesus personally seeks and transforms the overlooked, offering immediate grace and acceptance that leads to genuine change and restored identity through His love.

    Some of us walked in today feeling unseen, unheard, and maybe even unwanted. We’ve smiled for others, but inside there’s a quiet ache that keeps asking, “Does God notice me?” Picture dusty Jericho streets and a short man with a tall stack of regrets. A tree-climbing tax collector—pockets full, ...read more

     | 188 views

    In turbulent times, God calls us to steadfast faith, resilient hope, and genuine godliness, anchored in Christ and His truth, not swayed by counterfeit spirituality.

    Friends, if your heart has felt a steady ache from the noise of our age—the headlines that howl, the arguments that never end, the fatigue that flares by Friday—take a deep breath. You are not alone, and you are not without a map. God has spoken. He has not left us guessing or grasping in the dark. ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 92 views

    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

     | 149 views

    Trusting God at life’s uncertain crossings requires both faith and obedience, as He calls us to step forward and follow Him into the unknown.

    Have you ever stood at the edge of something new—heart thumping, hands trembling—wondering how you’ll make it across? Maybe it’s a decision you can’t delay, a diagnosis you didn’t ask for, a door you’re afraid to open, or a river of unknowns that seems swollen and wild. You can hear it rush; you ...read more

    Defeat Is Not An Option PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 78 views

    God continually leads us in victory, spreading Christ’s transforming presence through us, even in weakness, so that others experience the hope and fragrance of grace.

    Some weeks feel like we’re pushing a grocery cart with a wobbly wheel through a crowded store—everything leaning sideways, squeaking loudly, and refusing to go where we want. And yet, here we are, gathered in grace, held by the hand of a God who never loses a battle and never misplaces a child. ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 186 views

    True gratitude is not dependent on circumstances but is a daily response to God’s faithfulness, shaping our hearts and sustaining us through every season.

    Friends, some weeks feel like a kaleidoscope of errands and emotions—school drop-offs and late invoices, texts we forgot to answer, headlines we wish we hadn’t read. Yet right in the middle of muddy shoes by the door, burnt toast on the counter, and the ache we can’t name, there is a whisper from ...read more

     | 806 views

    Even in our darkest disappointments and brokenness, God’s hope and faithfulness remain, inviting us to trust Him when everything else falls apart.

    Sometimes life feels like a city under siege. You plan, you pray, you press on—and then the bottom drops out. The letter arrives. The job shifts. The news blindsides. You look around and the familiar skyline of your world seems changed, scarred, and smoky. Have you ever stood there, heart in your ...read more

     | 61,393 views

    God will give you everything you need, and that there’s no temptation that will ever overcome you that you can’t handle.

    If you have your Bibles, turn to 2 Peter, chapter 1, could we stand up and read this? We’re going to read four verses together. I do just to remind us that what we’re about to do is not hear a person’s opinions and some thoughts that I have from the week, but these are the very ...read more
