    The Existence Of Evil And The Certainty Of Good

    Contributed by Antonio Manaytay on Sep 9, 2024
     | 792 views

    This sermon answers the question of evil, the one humanity has wrestled with for years: If there is God, why there is so much evil in the world.

    Introduction The question of evil is one that humanity has wrestled with for centuries: If there is a God, why is there so much evil in the world? It's easy to wonder how a good and loving God could allow such things to happen when we witness suffering, injustice, and pain. Many skeptics ...read more

    Healing still has a natural place in Christianity.

    “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

    Creation praises God constantly; every blessing flows from Him, inviting us to join heaven’s chorus with grateful hearts and joyful worship.

    Introduction — Hearing What We’ve Been Singing We have sung it so many times that it slips out of our mouths on autopilot. The ushers walk forward, the pastor nods, the pianist plays four familiar measures, and suddenly the congregation rises to its feet and a tiny hymn floats through the room. ...read more

    Real Faith Faith Under Fire

    Contributed by Kelly Benton on Mar 3, 2026
     | 107 views

    James assumes something about the Christian life that modern Christianity often avoids: Faith will be tested. The question is not, “Will you go through fire?” The question is, “Will your faith survive it?”

    2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you ...read more

    Introduction: I am sure you have heard someone say or perhaps you have said this at some time, “I AM HUNGRY or I HAVE HUNGRY PANGS!”

    We’ve all had the familiar feeling of rumbling in our belly when we’re hungry. It’s a clear sign from our stomach to our brain saying: Time for some grub! This discomfort that you feel close to lunchtime is called hunger pangs. Why do these hungry pangs actually happen? It is a part of our ...read more

    The Goodness Of God Series

    Contributed by Todd Catteau on Mar 11, 2026
     | 76 views

    Not everyone sees God as good. A great but not good God only produces fear. That kind of God discourages trust and breeds anxiety rather than faith. So today, we're going to look at another essential aspect of God's character — His goodness.

    **The Goodness of God** Last week we talked about the greatness of God. Contemplating God's greatness is an important spiritual discipline. When we do this, we break free from our narrow perspectives — those little slivers of the universe we tend to get caught up in. And when we see how great ...read more

    Trials test our faith and produce perseverance. We can find joy in trials because they shape us and draw us closer to God.

    Today, ,we're going to deep dive into the book of James. James, Jesus' half-brother and a big deal in the early church, wrote this letter to encourage believers who were having a rough time. James talks a lot about faith and actions going hand in hand. Let's see what he has to say about handling ...read more

    The Attitude Of Gratitude Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,078 views

    Gratitude aligns us with God's will, opens the door to His blessings, and transforms our perception of reality. It's about celebrating every good thing, even partial miracles, and turning every situation into an opportunity for praise.

    The Bible tells us to be happy, pray a lot, and say thanks no matter what's happening. This is what God wants for us. It's not about finding some secret plan for our lives, but about becoming more like Jesus in every situation. Saying thanks is like the key that unlocks God's blessings. Imagine you ...read more

    True faith is more than just believing—it's about living out God's Word in our daily lives. Our actions should reflect our faith, showing that we truly follow Christ.

    Hey guys, today we're going to dive into a pretty cool part of the Bible, James 1:17-27. It's all about how faith isn't just about believing in God, but actually living out what He says in our everyday lives. So, let's start with a little object lesson. I want you to imagine you're looking in a ...read more

    Finding God's Goodness Amidst Difficulties SermonCentral

     | 1,140 views

    James in his first chapter warns us not to be deceived, providing reasons to believe in God's goodness regardless of our circumstances.

    In the late 90s, there was a popular saying in the church: "God is good, all the time; all the time, God is good." It's easy to proclaim God's goodness when things are going well, but what about when we face difficult circumstances? How can we know that God is truly good? In James 1:16-18, we find ...read more
