    Plastic Faith

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 665 views

    Artificial leaves look healthy but produce nothing. In Mark 11 Jesus exposes leaf-only religion: a fig tree with no fruit, a crowded temple with no prayer, faith without forgiveness, and leaders without surrender. He clears space for real life with God—fruit, prayer, forgiveness, and obedience.

    An artificial plant looks impressive. But it produces nothing. You could easily buy one at a store with thought that it will "bring life to any room." And—sure—it brings the appearance of life. The leaves stay green. They never drop. It never needs water. In fact, if I tried to water it, ...read more

    The Test Of Faith Series

    Contributed by Fred Sigle on May 17, 2024
     | 1,313 views

    This is a study of the gospel of Mark regarding the life of Jesus. It is based on my personal study and research of Scripture and many books and sermons I have read over the years.

    GOSPEL OF MARK: GOD’S SERVANT IN ACTION THE TEST OF FAITH ILLUSTRATION: An Irishman, was taking a trip to the Holy Land, and when he got to the Sea of Galilee, he was appalled when he found it would cost $50.00 an hour to RENT a BOAT to go out on the WATER. “Hoot mon,” he said with a deep ...read more

    Based on the hit song by Jeremy Camp and the small group study by Kyle Idleman and Jeremy Camp with the same title: I Still Believe.

    I STILL BELIEVE: YOU ARE FAITHFUL (2) A. Romans 8:22-25 (READ) ILLUSTRATION: Have you ever sat through an important meeting or job interview and then all of a sudden, your STOMACH violently GROWLS and GROANS? Anyone?

    We are fighting a real battle, confronting a real enemy, but our victory is assured through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

    The Warriors of Faith Study Text: 1 Timothy 6:12 Introduction: - The Christian life is that of a spiritual battle that goes on without ending. Ephesians 6: 10 - 12. - God’s part, we cannot do, our part, He will not do, therefore, if we are faithful, God will look after us and ensure our ...read more

    Having a mind set for God's service.

    THE MEASURE OF FAITH. Romans 12:1-5. ROMANS 12:1. “I beseech you therefore, brethren,” begins the application of Paul’s letter to the Romans.

    The Wholeness Of Faith

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 11, 2025
     | 179 views

    Jesus declares to those He healed physically that it was their faith that made them well. What did He really mean by that?

    FAITH! FAITH IS OUR COMMITMENT TO GOD, AS HEBREWS 11:1 SAYS THAT “FAITH SHOWS THE REALITY OF WHAT WE HOPE FOR; IT IS THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS WE CANNOT SEE.” FAITH IS ONE OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF PLEASING GOD AS HEBREWS 11:6, SAYS THAT “IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD WITHOUT FAITH.” WE MUST LIVE ...read more

    Faith Fullness

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 15, 2025
     | 48 views

    Faith fullness is a heart completely filled with trust and obedience, like Josiah’s, igniting revival and restoring worship to God.

    Introduction — When Faith Fills the House There comes a moment in every generation when God looks for a heart He can fill. Not just a heart that believes a little, not one that samples religion, but a heart that is wide open — ready for faith to flood in until there’s no room left for ...read more

    Faith That Builds Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 20, 2025
     | 132 views

    This sermon explores how Noah’s faith, acting on God’s unseen warning with reverent obedience, led him to build an ark that saved his family, condemned the world, and secured his inheritance of righteousness.

    Introduction Imagine God gives you a command that, to everyone around you, sounds completely insane. Imagine He tells you to build a massive, three-story wooden boat—not by the sea, but in your own backyard. There isn't a cloud in the sky. Your neighbors mock you. Day after day, for decades, ...read more

    Faith To Go Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 25, 2025
     | 107 views

    This sermon highlights Abraham's radical obedience, who, by faith, left his place of comfort to follow God's call without knowing his final destination, trusting only in the promise of his Guide.

    Introduction How many of us are comfortable with the unknown? Most of us, if we're honest, are planners. We like a GPS for our car, an itinerary for our vacation, and a five-year plan for our career. We find our security in knowing what's coming next. We like maps. Today we come to one of ...read more

    Faith To Sojourn Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 25, 2025
     | 81 views

    This sermon explains how Abraham, by faith, lived as a temporary sojourner in a tent within the very land God had promised, teaching us to live in our present blessings without losing our focus on our eternal home.

    Introduction If you finally achieved your life's greatest goal—if you moved into the very place you always dreamed of living—how would you behave? You would likely settle down, build a permanent home, put down deep roots, and say, "I have arrived." This is what makes Abraham's ...read more

    Faith That Floats Series

    Contributed by Kory Labbe on Oct 30, 2025
     | 217 views

    When Jesus gets in your boat, everything changes. Sometimes God’s greatest invitations come in the middle of ordinary moments. In Luke 5, Jesus steps into Peter’s empty boat and turns a night of failure into a calling that changes everything.

    Faith that Floats: When Jesus Gets in Your Boat Luke 5:1–11 (NLT) Theme: When Jesus gets in your boat, everything changes.

    The Journey Of Faith

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025
     | 68 views

    Faith’s journey moves through surrender and grace — where Jesus meets us at the wall, restores our love, and sends us forward.

    There’s something quietly deceptive about the word arrival. We love the sound of it — the sense that the journey’s over, the destination reached, the work done. “I’ve arrived,” we say. The culture trains us to think in terms of achievements and milestones, success stories and finish lines. But ...read more

    Faith On Fumes

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 3, 2025
     | 136 views

    Weariness and frustration blur obedience, but grace restores focus; through surrender, God’s servants finish inside the promise their strength could never reach.

    It was a clear day on Mount Nebo. The sun hung high over the cracked ridges of Moab, turning every stone to copper. From where he stood, Moses could see the whole sweep of the Promised Land. Jericho shimmered in the distance; the olive hills of Ephraim glowed green; beyond them the ridges of Judah ...read more

    Faith That Follows Series

    Contributed by Kory Labbe on Nov 8, 2025
     | 132 views

    Faith That Follows reminds us that real faith doesn’t just believe—it moves. Like John the Baptist, we’re called to embrace our role in God’s mission. When we follow where the Holy Spirit leads, even ordinary moments can become divine appointments that change lives.

    Live Volume 3: Get Going — Week 2: Faith That Follows Text: John 1:19–34 (NLT) Theme: Faith That Follows reminds us that real faith doesn’t just believe—it moves.
