    Elevate To The Next Level - "Living In The Stretch”

     | 766 views

    Stretching is something God wants to do in our lives as He stretches our faith. Therefore, in today’s message I’d like to look at how we live life in the stretch, because life happens in the stretch, so we have to learn how to live and survive it.

    Elevate to the Next Level “Living in the Stretch” Watch on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Ukq8F_BGMMc Over these past several weeks we’ve been looking at different conceptual ideas in our series on elevating our discipleship to the next level. Concepts like living in the in-between and ...read more

    The Fear Of The Lord Is The Beginning Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 15, 2024
     | 2,607 views

    In this second sermon in the series about God's wisdom, we start with the foundation of wisdom that Solomon points to. Wisdom begins with a proper respect and reverence for God.

    A. Robert Ingersoll, who lived from 1833 to 1899, was nicknamed “The Great Agnostic.” 1. On one occasion, Ingersoll, after delivering one of his addresses in defense of agnosticism, pulled out his watch and said, “According to the Bible, God has struck men to death for blasphemy. I will blaspheme ...read more

    Jesus, I give you all within me that is lie and all that fights against the good in me. I surrender my hypocrisy to you and ask you to transform it in order that I would be more like you. May I show grace to others.

    Do You See Me? PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 28, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 66 views

    God’s approval, not others’ opinions, defines our worth; even when those closest doubt us, Jesus understands and affirms our value through the cross.

    Some of the hardest headwinds we face often blow from our own back porch. It’s funny how life works: strangers may applaud you, acquaintances may admire you, but the folks who know your middle name and saw your backyard mistakes can struggle to see God’s handiwork in you. They remember the messy ...read more

    Loving The People Right Around You PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 4, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 70 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

    God Sees Our Hearts PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 97 views

    God calls us to honest, wholehearted integrity—living openly before Him and others—because true freedom and joy are found in sincerity, not in appearances.

    Some passages ease into our living rooms like an old friend, and some step onto the front porch and ring the bell with urgency. Acts 5 is one of those moments. It invites us to sit still, to listen closely, and to remember that God cares about what we hold in our hands and what we hide in our ...read more

     | 169 views

    God graciously calls us to return, lay down our burdens and idols, and receive renewed identity, mercy, and blessing through His faithful love.

    Some of God’s kindest invitations arrive in a single word: Return. When life feels scattered and the heart feels thin, the Father whispers, “Come back to the place where you first heard My voice.” Maybe you know that tug. Maybe the calendar is packed, the nights are long, and your soul has been ...read more

    Jesus seeks out the overlooked, calls us by name, and transforms our lives when we respond with open hearts, repentance, and welcome.

    If you listen closely to this old story, you may hear your name woven between the branches of a Jericho tree. Have you ever felt small in a crowd? Not in inches, but in influence? Have you ever felt unseen in a swirl of noise, pushed to the back while questions press to the front? Then you’ll feel ...read more

    When The Mantle Must Rest PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 107 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

     | 118 views

    Trusting God at life’s uncertain crossings requires both faith and obedience, as He calls us to step forward and follow Him into the unknown.

    Have you ever stood at the edge of something new—heart thumping, hands trembling—wondering how you’ll make it across? Maybe it’s a decision you can’t delay, a diagnosis you didn’t ask for, a door you’re afraid to open, or a river of unknowns that seems swollen and wild. You can hear it rush; you ...read more

    God lovingly calls all people, regardless of status or struggle, to gather in His presence, remember His mercy, and rejoice together in shared grace.

    If you’ve arrived today with a full calendar and an even fuller heart, you’re in good company. Some of us come carrying victories we can’t wait to tell, others arrive with questions that have kept us up at night. Some of us are bone-tired. Some of us are heartsore. And all of us—every single ...read more

    To the world that nailed Him to a cross, He will return as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He came once as a Lamb, but He will return as a Lion. Once as a Savior, He will come again as the Judge who will sit on His throne to judge the nations.

    Goats to the Left of Me and Sheep to the Right Matthew 25:31-46 Matthew chapters 24 and 25, otherwise known as the Olivet Discourse, contain the most detailed description of events that are to occur in the future among the Lord’s recorded teachings.

    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
