    A Revival Triggered By Demons

    Contributed by James May on Aug 11, 2004
    based on 54 ratings
     | 8,963 views

    The demons who chased off the seven sons of Sceva triggered a revival that spread throughout Asia. If God can use demons to start a revival, surely He can use those who are called by His name.

    A REVIVAL TRIGGERED BY DEMONS by Pastor Jim May Acts 19:10-20, "And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought ...read more

    How the LORD strengthened Abram’s faith when he was weak, and how he strengthens ours through the promise of the stars.

    August 22, 2004 Genesis 15:1-6 After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.” But Abram said, “O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of ...read more

    INTRO.- ILL.- A man was discussing his tennis technique with a friend. He said, “My brain immediately barks out a command to my body: ‘Run forward, and fast.’ It says, ‘Start right now. Drop the ball gracefully over the net and then race back to position.’” His friend replied, “And then what ...read more

    Part 4: When Your Pride Is Showing Series

    Contributed by Brad Froese on Aug 30, 2004
    based on 14 ratings
     | 3,952 views

    As sanctified vessels we all have days we just don’t hold our “holy water” very well. One of our major faults is the life-altering sin called pride.

    Last week we learned that as Christians, we’re all like vases: vessels designed to be used in the house of God, and as vessels we’re called to be sanctified: set aside as holy vessels, for noble use in the house of God… To be used for God’s purposes, in His Kingdom. Unfortunately, all of us ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 85 views

    Jesus offers true rest and mercy, reminding us that God’s compassion outweighs rigid rules and that Sabbath is a gift meant to restore weary souls.

    Good morning, dear friends. Some weeks feel like a blur of alarms, appointments, and a to-do list that never seems to take a breath. Yet here you are—hungry for more than hurry, ready for more than noise. Your soul is smart; it knows when it’s thirsty. It senses a Sabbath-shaped space that work ...read more

    God Of Wonders PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 115 views

    God’s power and presence remain active today, inviting us to trust Him in hardship, pray boldly, and expect miracles even in ordinary moments.

    Some days faith feels thin as fog. You stand at the kitchen sink with a coffee cup and a knot in your stomach. You sit in the waiting room and study the floor tile as if it could talk back. You lie awake and watch the red glow of the clock turn minutes into miles. In moments like these, we need ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 183 views

    True strength comes not from our own efforts, but from receiving and resting in the deep, sustaining joy that Jesus freely gives to us.

    Some weeks feel like a treadmill stuck on high speed. Emails multiply, news headlines weigh heavy, and the to-do list seems to lengthen while our energy shortens. Maybe your smile has been performing overtime while your heart has been running on empty. Friend, you’re not alone. And you’re not left ...read more

    A Servant Worthy Of Double Honor PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 1, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 197 views

    The sermon emphasizes honoring and appreciating faithful church leaders, especially those who teach and shepherd, recognizing their unseen sacrifices and vital role in the church’s health.

    There’s a kind of quiet hero God keeps tucking into churches. You don’t always see their names in lights. You may not even notice their names at all. But you feel their fingerprints in the fabric of the family—when the doors are open early and the lights are on; when a casserole shows up at a ...read more

    Living The Mission PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 1, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 107 views

    God uses our ordinary gifts and daily acts of service to bless others, display His grace, and bring glory to Jesus in everyday life.

    Friends, can we talk about the quiet heroes God sends our way? The ones with flour on their aprons and prayer on their lips; the ones who show up with a casserole, a kind word, a seat at the table. I think of a dear woman I knew—no spotlight, no stage—just a well-worn Bible, a wobbly kitchen chair, ...read more

    Spurring One Another PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 2, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 145 views

    The sermon emphasizes the vital role of gathering as a church community to encourage, support, and strengthen one another in love and faith as we follow Christ.

    There’s a sacred sweetness in the sound of gathered voices. A familiar face across the aisle. A hug that lingers just a moment longer than usual. Coffee cups, creaky pews, and kind words. It all whispers a truth our souls know well: we are meant to be together. Life presses in with long weeks and ...read more

    And Enoch Walked With God PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 2, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 169 views

    The sermon urges believers to pursue a daily, intimate walk with God like Enoch, prioritizing faithfulness and devotion over worldly achievement or recognition.

    If you’ve ever taken a slow walk with someone you love, you know the wonder of it. The world rushes, but your pace becomes conversation, companionship, and comfort. You notice what you’d miss at a sprint—the birdsong, the breeze, the steady presence at your side. Scripture tells us of a man who ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 91 views

    God’s abundant goodness invites us to pray boldly and expectantly, trusting His faithfulness to do more than we can imagine or ask.

    If you’ve ever stood on the shore at dawn, watching waves roll in one after another, you know something about the heart of God. His goodness doesn’t trickle; it tumbles. His grace doesn’t drip; it drenches. He is the God who fills empty nets, feeds hungry crowds, and whispers to weary hearts, “I ...read more
