    A harvest sermon that uses harvest imagary in relation to the Christian life. (some ideas taken from other Sermon Central sermons.)

    Hope A Harvest is the result of many things - it is the result of hard work - it is the result of good weather and careful care by the Farmer or gardener. But underlying all of these things is hope. Without hope there would never be a harvest. In the Christian world too there is of course a ...read more

    Encourage trust in God's plan, emphasizing that our hope, joy, and peace come from Him alone, even in uncertain times.

    Good morning, Church family! We're going to dwell in the Book of Romans today, specifically Romans 15:13 that says, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

    Hope

     | 17,423 views

    In these times, many of us are losing hope. As children of God and brothers and sisters to Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit, it is important to remember who we are and who loves us. All that we "need" will one day be given to us at the time we need it most.

    How many of you are losing hope? I suspect, with all that is happening in our world, probably quite a few. I must admit, there are times I feel the same way as you might today. I am only human and I do have my doubts about certain things. You’ve seen all the posts on Facebook and other social ...read more

    Lessons From Somedry Bones Series

     | 25,972 views

    Although the vision of the dry bones applies to Israel, we can learn much about God's character and how to live our lives from that object lesson.

    As I read the Bible, I’m constantly amazed at how God uses some very common objects to demonstrate deep spiritual truths. It’s as if God uses a consistent dose of simple “In the Bag” object lessons in order to help us understand that which He wants us to apply in our lives. ...read more

    Hope Dies Series

    Hopelessness comes from misunderstanding the cross. There is no beauty in the cross to the carnal man. Once conviction of sin and confession of Jesus as Lord happens there is hope.

    Intro: Our world seems hopeless in many ways. Economically, politically, racially, stock market woes, natural disasters. From a purely worldly standpoint there seems to be no reason to hope. The disciples of Jesus felt much the same way. Even though Jesus had told them again and again what ...read more

    But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.

    THE HOPE OF GLORY. 2 Corinthians 3:12-18; 2 Corinthians 4:1-6. Opening this passage at 2 Corinthians 3:12, we are compelled to ask: What is the “hope” that Paul speaks of here? The context seems to suggest that it is the ‘hope of glory’ (cf. Colossians 1:27). In 2 Corinthians 3:7-11, the ...read more

    Friends, take a deep breath. If your week has felt like a thousand tiny cuts—emails unanswered, hopes on hold, prayers that feel like whispers in a windstorm—you are not alone. Hope can feel thin on Thursday afternoons and threadbare by Saturday night. Yet right here, in the everyday ache and the ...read more

     | 12,014 views

    True, lasting hope comes not from our circumstances, nor does it come from within ourselves. It comes from God.

    As a pastor, one of the things I’m called upon to do is to comfort those who are going through difficult circumstances. At times of suffering or crisis, people typically look to the minister for support and encouragement. And so, when tragedy strikes, or the storms of life become overwhelming, or ...read more
