    People With A Future Series

    Contributed by Charles J. Tomlin on Jun 19, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,928 views

    Will a person Rob God? You can't really rob God. When you try to rob God, you are only robbing yourself. It is only God who can give you a future.

    “They shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, my special possession on the day when I act, …” (Mal 3:17 NRS) The prophet Malachi, stands at the end of the Hebrew Bible (at least the Christian version of it), and he also stands on the threshold of a whole new world---the future ...read more

    3 of 4. Paul describes the reasons God's people are unconquerable! God's people have a telling disposition that betrays the fact that they are unconquerable. A disposition for being & remaining unconquerable is/shines thru...

    What if suddenly everything you believed in, everything you held dear, everything that was the center of your spiritual and communal existence, everything that you felt was worth living for in your life was stripped and considered illegal and immoral.

    The Remnant That Would Not Bow Down By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - QUESTION: - What if suddenly everything you believed in, everything you held dear, everything that was the center of your spiritual and communal existence, everything that you felt was worth living for in your life ...read more

    No Man's Gonna' Take My Crown

    In this sermon we discover one of, if not the number one way the enemy operates to destroy our lives, and rob us of our crowns.

    These two following verses are the source for the title of this message today. Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Now please go with me to 1 ...read more

     | 580 views

    This Passover Seder (service) has been adapted and "Christianized," to remember and celebrate how believers have been set free from the bondage of sin and brought forth into the promised land of eternal life in Christ.

    REMOVAL OF THE LEAVEN – Have Leavened Bread Hidden Leader: Welcome to our Passover Seder. Let us ready our hearts to celebrate and tell the story of deliverance, freedom, and redemption. We must all consider ourselves to be like the Hebrew slaves in Egypt, meaning we must understand ourselves to ...read more

    Mustard Seed-Sized Faith 10/05/25 PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 511 views

    Trusting Jesus with even the smallest faith leads to powerful results, as God values humble obedience over impressive displays of strength or ability.

    If you’ve ever sat at a kitchen table with a bill you can’t pay, a diagnosis you can’t fix, or a relationship you can’t untangle, you’ve likely whispered the disciples’ prayer: "Lord, increase our faith." It’s a simple sentence with a grand ache. We know the feeling of being stretched thin, of ...read more

    Keep Pressing On PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 184 views

    God invites us to move forward with Him, leaving the past behind and focusing on Christ, trusting His presence and grace for every step.

    There’s a reason your heart quickens whenever you sense a fresh start. New mercies. New morning. New possibilities. Like a runner at the starting line, leaning forward, muscles ready, eyes fixed—something inside you says, "There’s more ahead." You were made for forward motion with Christ. You were ...read more

    The Truth About Family In Heaven PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 154 views

    Despite our current limited understanding, God promises we will one day see Him clearly, fully known and loved, reunited and whole in His presence.

    If you’ve ever peered through a fogged-up bathroom mirror and tried to make sense of the face staring back, you know the feeling. Shapes are there. Outlines are there. But clarity? It waits. Life often feels like that—hints without the whole picture, music through a wall, daylight under a door. We ...read more

    When You're Weary, But Still Walking PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 4, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 150 views

    When we feel exhausted and overwhelmed, God invites us to trust Him, wait on Him, and receive renewed strength for each day.

    Some of us walked in today with a quiet question humming beneath the surface: How much longer can I keep this up? The calendar is crowded, the to-do list grows fangs, and sleep feels like a stranger. Parents, professionals, students, caregivers—such faithful folks—yet even you can feel thin at the ...read more

    Loving The People Right Around You PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 80 views

    The sermon urges us to love God wholeheartedly and express that love through everyday acts of kindness and care for those around us.

    Some words from Jesus land in the heart like a familiar melody. They hum along in the background while you’re packing lunches, paying bills, or waiting at a red light. They are simple enough for a child to recite and strong enough to hold up a life. Mark 12:30-31 is like that. It meets us at the ...read more

     | 166 views

    Jesus, the Good Shepherd, personally calls us by name, offering true life, guidance, and security amid life’s noise and distractions.

    Some weeks feel like standing in a crowded barn. So many voices. So much noise. Phones buzz. News churns. Deadlines demand. You find yourself wondering, Does anyone hear me? Does anyone know my name? The pages of John 10 open like a quiet pasture on a loud day. They whisper, Yes. The Shepherd does. ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 154 views

    The sermon emphasizes cultivating a life of continual prayer, gratitude, and joy, trusting God’s presence and power in every ordinary moment and circumstance.

    Friends, welcome. Some of us walked in with bright hearts, some with tired eyes, and some with questions that kept us awake last night. God sees every sigh, every secret worry, every small smile of hope. He gathers it all, and He meets us here. I once watched my grandmother hum hymns over a sink ...read more

     | 96 views

    The sermon urges believers to embody Christ’s love through everyday acts of kindness, service, and hospitality, making faith tangible in ordinary life.

    Some of the most life-changing sermons are preached without pulpits. A handwritten note in a mailbox. A casserole on a front porch. A hand on a shoulder in a waiting room. A smile across a sanctuary. You have seen these sermons. Many of you have preached them. And if you listen closely, you can ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 97 views

    God’s unwavering faithfulness means He never forgets us or His promises; His presence and covenant love sustain us through every season and circumstance.

    Some of us keep a shoebox of memories. A faded ticket stub from the big game. A ribbon from a graduation cap. A hospital bracelet that once wrapped a tiny wrist. We keep them because they tell us who we are and whose we are. They steady us. They sing to us on stormy days. They whisper, You’ve been ...read more

     | 151 views

    Trust God to provide for your needs, focus on His Kingdom above all else, and find peace in His faithful care despite financial uncertainty.

    Some of us walked in today with a calculator in our pocket and a knot in our stomach. The paycheck was thin, the pantry looks tired, and the math refuses to cooperate. You’ve pinched pennies, stretched spaghetti, checked the account twice, and still you wonder, Will there be enough? Have you ever ...read more
