    The Rest We All Need

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Sep 11, 2025
     | 577 views

    Looking at how we can find that deep soul rest that we all need.

    Good morning, church! Today, we’re diving into one of the most comforting invitations in all of Scripture. Jesus says in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Does that word rest sound good to you today? I don’t know about you, but I ...read more

    The Servant King

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Apr 11, 2025
     | 526 views

    This is good for Palm Sunday or any other Sunday. Jesus rides into town a humble King when people were expecting a conquering king... But Jesus conquered not through force but by being a humble servant..

    INTRODUCTION (Walk slowly onto the platform with a thoughtful look. Pause.) If you knew your death was only days away, how would you spend your final week? Would you be hiding? Crying? Maybe you would be trying to bargain with God? Not Jesus… He rode into Jerusalem… And He didn’t ride in all ...read more

    The Power Of The Invitation: Bringing Others To Christ

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Apr 14, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,277 views

    This sermon is all about the power behind inviting others into the family of Christ... We have a biblical mandate to share the gospel and make disciple... We never know what God will do when we give the invitation to come

    Introduction (feel free to use my testimony if you like) Personal Story: There was a time in my life where I really didn’t like to be around people, I was a workaholic and a gym rat… I had been away from church for a long time and really didn’t think I would ever get back to a right relationship ...read more

    Into The Wilderness: Strengthened For The Journey Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Apr 21, 2025
     | 1,061 views

    This is the follow up to "The Wilderness Test" It helps us understand where our strength comes from and how it helps us when we are on a journey through the wilderness

    The wilderness is not just a place of testing; it’s also a place of provision. God doesn't leave us empty in our struggles; He strengthens us for the journey ahead. Introduction: We have already talked about how the wilderness is a place of testing, a place where God refines us, shapes us, ...read more

    Dry Bones ... Come Alive!

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Apr 29, 2025
     | 929 views

    In A world that's divided and discouraged, we serve a God, this gives us hope and delivers us from despair

    Dry Bones Come Alive Ezekiel 37:1-14 In our scripture today Ezekiel gives us a vision of hope when all seems lost. It reminds us that even in a world that feels “bone dry,” God can bring life, renewal, and purpose. Point 1: We live in A World that is in Crisis Ezekiel’s vision of the valley of ...read more

    The Cost Of The Cross

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on May 4, 2025
     | 503 views

    There is a cost involved in everything we do. It even cost us something to follow Jesus and yes, there is a cost even for The Cross

    Introduction: Counting the Cost Some things in life are easy to say but harder to live out. I remember a young firefighter in training. He was passionate, excited, and couldn’t wait to get out there and fight fires. But during a live burn drill, the flames got hotter than he expected, the smoke ...read more

    Legacy - What We Leave Behind

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on May 10, 2025
     | 1,128 views

    This is a Mother's Day Sermon that speaks of creating a legacy of faith to leave others. Feel free to use my two personal illustrations as your own.

    2 Timothy 1:5 (NLT) – "I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you." The Legacy Question What will people remember about you when you're gone? Will they ...read more

    The Choice

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on May 13, 2025
     | 476 views

    This is a short Sermon I used for a Sunday night and focused on Jesus in the Garden and the choice He made for us

    There’s a moment every firefighter knows — when the alarm sounds, and you have to decide whether you’re willing to run toward what everyone else is running away from. I’ll never forget one particular call years ago. We arrived to find a house fully engulfed in flames. On the porch stood a woman, ...read more

    Meet The New Boss - Same As The Old Boss

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on May 15, 2025
     | 383 views

    This sermon takes a look at the gods we worship in today's world and shows they are actually the same as the gods people worshiped in ancient times. Only the names have changed

    Good morning, church! Let’s look at a powerful and relevant topic… Let’s take a look at how the gods that people worship today are very similar to those that were worshipped in the times of the Old and New Testaments. In other words “Meet the New Boss… Same as the Old Boss” Now some of ...read more

    Forgiveness Is Difficult

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Mar 2, 2021
     | 3,106 views

    The calling for "forgive, just as Jesus has forgiven you," and the quote from Jesus in the Model Prayer, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors," makes forgiveness a command, not a good thought or request.

    Forgiveness Is Difficult (Col. 3:12-14) Intro: A. He was betrayed by Judas and openly denied by Peter. At his trial no one stood beside him to defend him. He was accused based upon lies and misrepresentation of his words. Pilate knew he was innocent, but as a politician his position in ...read more

    The Foundation Of The Church

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on May 29, 2025
     | 545 views

    This sermon looks at the establishment of the church and looks at what a firm foundation should look like. It should make you think "Am I doing my part"

    Introduction Today, we’re going to look at a passage of Scripture that reveals the foundation of the church and the assurance we have in Jesus’ promise. Let’s open our Bibles to Matthew 16:18. In this verse, Jesus makes a declaration: "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I ...read more

    Where Do We Go From Here ?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Jun 6, 2025
     | 1,133 views

    We all face changes and transition in our lives and sometimes ask the question; What's next? This message helps us understand if we just keep following God we will get to the destination that He has planned for us.

    ( I used this with a group that I meet with weekly But it could easily be modified for your church setting) Introduction: Every one of us is in a transition. Some of you are starting college. Some may be going back for a GED. Others are stepping up into new roles and responsibilities you didn’t ...read more

    Ressurection Victory

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Apr 11, 2023
     | 1,873 views

    Because of the resurrection of Jesus we have victory over sin and the joy of living for eternity. The resurrection is central to the Christian faith, yet, on that day the believers didn't believe and the unbelievers faced truth.

    Resurrection Victory Intro: A. It really is amazing to me. There was a truth that was known, yet not believed. A truth that was told yet seemed to remain hidden. A truth that enemies feared more than followers believed. The same people that went to Pilate to seek him to put Jesus to death, ...read more

    Would You Know Him?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Apr 16, 2023
     | 2,283 views

    Would we know Jesus if He came up and sat down beside us?

    Would you know Him? Luke 24:13-32 The journey to Emmaus tells the story of two disciples walking seven miles from Jerusalem to their village of Emmaus, after the crucifixion of Jesus and on the evening of His resurrection. But it also reminds us of the journey we all take from not recognizing ...read more

    It's Our Fault

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Sep 18, 2024
     | 1,262 views

    How many Churches… How many Christians have let the culture normalize sin and they have just adapted themselves to it. This sermon will help us deal with the consequences of condoning sin and what we should do to avoid it.

    God hates sin, shouldn’t we? Jesus died to offer us forgiveness for our sins, not so we would have a free pass to keep on sinning, He didn’t die on that cross so we could receive a “Get out of Hell Free” card… But here we are a couple of thousand years later watching sin become glorified, watching ...read more
