    Our world is exploding with violence, and many people who once claimed to follow Jesus are losing heart. They are in danger of drifting away and dropping out.

    INTRODUCTION I read recently that 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 every day. When we were teenagers we were part of a music revolution. However, as we get older, things change. For that reason I’m thinking about doing a commercial for a remix of songs for aging boomers. What do you think? The ...read more

     | 172 views

    God remembers us in life and in death; through Christ’s resurrection we are known, valued, and restored to everlasting, resurrected life with Him.

    I. THE QUESTION THAT HAUNTS THE HUMAN HEART When I was a little boy, I used to imagine my own death. I didn’t understand theology, I didn’t know Greek or Hebrew, I didn’t know about immortality or resurrection. I only knew the ache inside a child’s heart. I would picture myself buried in the ...read more

     | 154 views

    We all thirst for meaning, hope, and grace. In Christ, we find the living water that truly satisfies. “Good grief” awakens us to our need for Him, leads us to repentance, and brings new life. The world is thirsty. Don’t leave them under an empty spigot — point them to Jesus, the living water.

    Dead Seeds PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 3, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 76 views

    True spiritual fruitfulness comes when we surrender our lives to God, trusting Him to bring new life and abundance from our acts of faith.

    There’s a wonder in the way God works that often begins small and quiet, like a seed resting in the palm of your hand. If you’ve ever planted one, you know the hush of that moment. You press it into the soil, cover it with a thin blanket of earth, and walk away with a mixture of faith and ...read more

     | 108 views

    Jesus calls every believer to courageous, surrendered living—trusting His authority, presence, and purpose—as we share His love and message in our everyday lives.

    Some of us came in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Some with questions that keep us awake. Some with a to-do list longer than a river. And yet, here we are, gathered under the gentle reign of the risen Christ, the One who meets us in our Mondays and our midnights. He knows the names on your ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 149 views

    Persistent prayer matters because God hears, cares, and responds in His perfect timing, inviting us to trust Him even when answers seem delayed.

    Some prayers are born in bright rooms with balloons and birthday cake. Others are born at 2:13 a.m., when the house is quiet, the questions are loud, and the pillow is wet. Some prayers feel like sprinting—fast, full of faith. Others feel like limping—slow, sore, and short on strength. If you’ve ...read more

    Friend, if your week felt like a wrestling match, you’re in good company. Life has a way of stacking bricks on the back—duties that demand, headlines that hammer, whispers that weigh heavy. And then there’s that quiet pressure you can’t quite name. You can tidy the kitchen and tame the calendar, ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 84 views

    Following Jesus means trusting Him through every joy and trial, knowing He leads us, shapes us, and walks with us every step of the way.

    Some days feel like a string of small skirmishes—spilled coffee on the way out the door, a terse email that stings, headlines that weigh heavy. Other days carry a deeper ache—an empty chair at the table, a diagnosis you didn’t see coming, a door closed that you prayed would open. In moments like ...read more

    The sermon invites us to slow down, release control, and find peace by trusting God’s presence and sovereignty amid life’s noise and anxiety.

    Friends, some weeks feel like living in a wind tunnel. The headlines howl. The phone hums. The calendar crowds. Even our prayers can sound like hurried headlines—fast, faint, fragmented. And yet, in the middle of the noise, God offers a chair in a quiet corner, a deep breath for a weary chest, a ...read more

    The sermon calls believers to embody Christlike unity, compassion, and humility, serving others with kindness and mercy in everyday relationships and all creation.

    If you could hold the heartbeat of the early church in your hands, you might feel something steady and strong: a rhythm of humility, a pulse of compassion, and a gentle strength that held people together when everything around them seemed to be coming apart. That same heartbeat is available to us ...read more

     | 129 views

    The sermon encourages embracing God’s timing, resting from roles when needed, prioritizing presence and relationships, and trusting prayer to shape our lives and seasons.

    There’s a rhythm stitched into the world by the hand of God. The tide rolls in and slips out. Winter gives way to spring. Babies cry, grandparents smile, and somewhere in between we learn how to hold on and how to let go. Seasons change. And if we’re honest, our souls feel it—the gentle tug that ...read more
