    Looking Ahead To New Grace PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 28, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 173 views

    God’s grace makes us new, freeing us from the past and calling us to live with hope, purpose, and worship in Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with a pocket full of yesterdays. Regrets that still ring. Promises we meant to keep. Prayers that feel unanswered. You can almost hear the echo of the past in your soul. But there is Another Voice—steady and kind—that breaks through the static. He says, “Behold, I will ...read more

     | 137 views

    Worship is offering our whole, everyday lives to God, allowing His mercy to transform us so we bear fruit and reflect Christ in all we do.

    Friends, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here. Some of you showed up with a smile, others with a sigh, and the Lord receives you just the same. He gathers us like a good Father gathers children at the table—hungry, hurried, hopeful. Grace has a way of finding us in the in-between: between loads of ...read more

     | 108 views

    Worship transforms us as God’s priestly people, awakening courage and purpose, and empowering us to minister to Him and impact the world around us.

    If you walked into this room today with a sigh in your soul or a song on your lips—or maybe a little of both—you’re in the right place. God meets us where we are, and He leads us where He is. He hears the hush of a hospital hallway and the hum of a kitchen sink; He listens for faith at a funeral ...read more

    God’s Amazing Grace PRO Sermon

     | 117 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

    based on 14 ratings
     | 10,305 views

    This sermon examines what we mean by "Holiness Unto the Lord," and examines why we must seek Christ and His Holiness - we must continually move forward lest we fall back.

    Usually, when I get ready to preach, I go to the Common Revised Lexicon to find a scripture passage. Then I look at what others have had to say about that passage of scripture both online and the good old fashioned way of looking things up in books and commentaries. Sometimes a word in the passage ...read more
