Faith In God PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 28, 2025

God’s faithfulness endures through our doubts, fears, and failures; He calls us to trust, obey, and pray as He fulfills His promises in our lives.

Some of us walked in today with silent rooms at home and silent prayers in our hearts. Some carry questions that keep us awake at night. Some feel like the calendar keeps turning while the promise still tarries. If that’s you, welcome. You’re in good company with a man and a woman who learned what ...read more

No Mas

Contributed by Johnny Bley on Aug 30, 2002

Because of the blood of Jesus Christ, there are several things that have said, "No Mas, No Mas" so to speak concerning our Christian lives.

No Mas! John 1:29 On November 25, 1980 in New Orleans, Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran fought their second of three fights.

God & Golf & You

Contributed by Charles Clary on Sep 30, 2004

This is a sermon which compares the game of golf to the game of life.

The latter portion of my text reads, "....and without a parable spake He not unto them." Today I will use a parable or a comparison to illustrate the game of life.

This Is, Thou Art

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Aug 28, 2003

There is a fundamental difference of me looking directly into my sons eyes and saying, "You are my beloved son," and if I were to put my arm around him and say to you, "this is my beloved son." One is a private declaration, one is a public demonstration.
