    When Satan Tries To Stop You, Keep Following Jesus PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 192 views

    Following Jesus means surrendering our comfort and control, embracing self-denial, and trusting that true life and reward are found in obedient discipleship with Him.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a storm in our chest. The calendar is crowded, the heart is heavy, and the questions are louder than ever. You’ve been faithful, you’ve prayed, you’ve pressed on—and still, there are days when following Jesus feels like walking uphill with a ...read more

    Living With Loss PRO Sermon

     | 129 views

    God meets us in every pain with real comfort, inviting us to receive his presence and share that comfort with others in their suffering.

    There are weeks when our hearts feel thin. We sit at kitchen tables and stare at cold coffee. We stand in hospital halls and count ceiling tiles. We scroll through old texts, listening for a voice that no longer answers. Grief sits quietly in the corner like an unwelcome guest. Worry hums like an ...read more

    God Is Not Done Yet PRO Sermon

     | 152 views

    God sees our weariness, meets us in our weakness, and renews our strength as we trust and wait on Him, never forgotten or alone.

    Friend, if you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m. and whispered, “Lord, did You see that? Do You know how tired I am?”—you are in good company today. If your heart feels heavy, your hands feel weak, and your hope feels thin, you are exactly where Isaiah 40 meets you. This passage is a warm ...read more

    God sees and values our hearts over outward appearances, choosing and loving the overlooked and ordinary to accomplish extraordinary purposes through His grace.

    Maybe you walked in today carrying the sting of being overlooked. You’ve watched others get the nod, the promotion, the platform, while you’ve kept the sheep, cleaned the messes, showed up in quiet faithfulness where no one was clapping. If that’s you, take heart. Our God loves to surprise us. He ...read more

     | 87 views

    God’s grace is a free gift we cannot earn; through faith, we receive His love and acceptance, not by our efforts but by His mercy.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts like clenched fists—trying to hold it all together, trying to square the accounts with God, trying to make sense of a week that wore us thin. We wonder if grace has a limit, if mercy has a meter, if love has a ledger. We keep a mental checklist: pray more, try ...read more

    Does God Ordain/Allow Evil And Suffering?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 12, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,802 views

    Within the church, there is a belief that everything is under the direct sovereign control of God, therefore He ordains what satan and his minions do.

    It is also believed that when people get sick or suffer horrible tragedies, it is the will of God because He "allowed/ordained" it. God is the Holy and transcendent one. He is sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and omnibenevolent. He knows all things past, present, and ...read more

    Experiencing Hardship And Heartbreak Series

     | 4,428 views

    The story of Naomi and Ruth is about how, as the old hymn says, "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform." As dark and bleak as things looked in Naomi's life, little did she know that God was at work to bring blessings, to her and through her.

    A. How many of you have ever had a bad day? Certainly, all of us have had bad days. Right? 1. Let’s have a little fun by starting with some “You know you’ve having a bad day when…” sayings: a. Your horn sticks on the highway behind 32 Hell’s Angels on their motorcycles. b. Your birthday cake ...read more

    Don’t give yourself to sexual immorality. Instead, give yourself to God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit.

    A little girl was talking to her grandmother. She asked, “Grandma, how old are you?” The grandmother replied, “Now dear, you shouldn’t ask people that question. Most grown-ups don’t like to tell their age.” The following day, the girl had another question. “Grandma, how much do you ...read more

    If you want to stay out of the ditches in life, live your life in grateful dependence upon Christ, and appreciate your completeness in Him. Appreciate the purity, pardon, and power that comes from your faith in Him. For when Jesus is all you got, Jesus is all you need.

    I came across a YouTube video this week, in which a young boy encounters a sheep stuck headfirst in a long narrow trench. Take a look (show video: “Sheep gets stuck in trench”). The boy uses his hands and a belt around the leg of the sheep to rescue the trapped sheep. Immediately on being set ...read more

    Elijah is credited with 10 miracles happening during his ministry, some of which we will talk about here. Yet Elijah has no book in the Bible named after him. Elijah was human with emotions, disappointments, fears, and doubts. ‌

     | 7,345 views

    For many people, life seems dissatisfying. They are actually searching for home; but our true home is in heaven. Until we reach heaven, Jesus is our home. This is the expanded version of a funeral sermon I did called "Looking for Home."

    Some say, “Home is where the heart is.” What is home? John Ed Pearce, long-time writer for the Courier-Journal, stated, “Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.” I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Searching for Home,” and I’m addressing this topic ...read more

    This sermon addresses three questions: Who is the One Spirit?, What is the role of the One Spirit?, and How should we respond to the One Spirit?

    Introduction: A. The story is told about a Christian who arrived in Heaven and was excited to meet many people from Old Testament times and he had lots of questions for them. 1. To Noah, he asked what it was like to be in the ark with all those animals. 2. To Joseph, he asked what it was like to ...read more

    Jesus's challenge to the rich young man - Does it leave us discombobulated and feeling uncomfortable? Which of the many interpretations is correct? [This sermon was preached 13 October 2024 when I was the guest preacher at St Nicholas Church Perivale in West London]

    A very wealthy man came to his vicar and said, “Father, I’m having a problem with this tithing thing. You see I made £500,000 dollars last year. If I gave 10% then I’d have to give….” No - before I finish that anecdote - lets do a poll- would you rather be very rich or very poor - hands up ...read more
