I'm Still Here — Because He's Able! PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 17, 2025

God lovingly keeps us from falling, presents us blameless with joy, and deserves our wholehearted worship because His grace is greater than our weakness.

Home feels a little brighter when we remember Who holds the house together. Some of us walked in today with full calendars and thin margins. Wins at work, worries at home, maybe a mixture of both.
