     | 77 views

    This sermon encourages weary believers to trust God’s steadfast hope and grace, reminding them that faith endures trials and is anchored in Christ’s resurrection.

    If your week felt like a whispered prayer under a loud sky, you’re in the right place. Peter wrote to people with tired eyes and tender hearts, people who knew what it was to be squeezed by life. He takes our chin in his hands and points us toward a living hope, a hope that breathes when our ...read more

    The Promise Is Received By Faith PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 76 views

    God’s promises are guaranteed by grace, not our strength; faith trusts and obeys even when we doubt, because grace secures what God has spoken.

    Some days faith feels like a full sail on a steady sea. Other days it feels like a flickering candle cupped in the wind. I think of you who walked in today carrying quiet questions. You who love Jesus and still wonder how His promises stand tall in a world that leans hard. You who have prayed for ...read more

    Trusting Jesus’ word brings healing and hope; faith in His authority, not our worthiness or understanding, invites His miraculous power into our lives.

    Friends, perhaps you walked in today with a knot in your stomach and a prayer under your breath. Maybe the doctor’s words still echo. Maybe the bill is bigger than your paycheck. Maybe the bedroom is quiet and the tears come louder at night. What if the miracle you need is as close as a word from ...read more

     | 3,948 views

    Whether we are or are not convinced that Christ rose from the dead does not affect the reality of the Resurrection. The Bible presents it as objective history. But if we accept its reality by faith and live consistently in light of it, it changes our l

    In order to win over our worry, we must realize the futility of worry, set our priorities in order, and learn to live in the present.

    Win Over Your Worry The Habits of Happiness Part 5 Matthew 6:25-34 We all want to be happy. I bet there is no single person who intentionally chooses to be unhappy.

    Seeking security and significance outside of God is futile, and we should instead trust in God's promises and presence to lead us into His best.

    Good morning, church family! Today we are going to dive into two passages from Genesis. We'll be looking at Genesis 25:21-26 and Genesis 28:13-15, focusing on the futility of fighting for security and success without God, the struggle for significance and security in life, and trusting God to bring ...read more

    I want to begin this morning by reading you a quote from a man some believe to be one of the most brilliant scientific minds of our day.

    (Slide 1) When I was a few months from graduation from seminary, the church I had attended during college had a position open and I was very interested in it.

     | 11,990 views

    Those seeking truth should consider: 1. Christian faith birthed science. 2. Miracles are not things done against natural law, but according to natural law. 3. To close the door to the possibility of the existence of God goes against the very fabric

    How do you explain miracles to a scientist? How do you explain science to a Christian? Can it be done, and is there a conflict between the two?

    Alternate Theory Of Creation No. 4 -Progressive Creationism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 25, 2023
     | 1,344 views

    This is the last of four messages on the alternatives of creation often presented to skeptics and the scientific community apart from what is described in Genesis 1. This final message deals with "progressive creationism", another example of the futility of man's "wisdom".

    We have looked at four alternative theories that some Christians use to either defend or explain to a skeptical world how everything came into being instead of what is clearly presented in Genesis 1. The world system took advantage of our withdrawal from the scientific community soon after the ...read more
