    Sin And Disobedience PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 89 views

    God’s grace meets us in our brokenness, offering forgiveness and restoration through Christ, no matter how far we’ve fallen or how flawed we feel.

    Some of us walked in today carrying a quiet ache. Maybe it’s a memory that won’t loosen its grip. Maybe it’s a habit that keeps hollering our name. Maybe it’s the nagging sense that we should be further along than we are. If that’s you, you’ve come to the right place. Not a museum for the perfect, ...read more

    Christ At The Center Of Our Purpose PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 96 views

    God has uniquely created and called each person to serve others, turning ordinary moments into purposeful opportunities to reflect His love and grace.

    Some mornings the mirror asks more questions than it answers. You brush your teeth, pour the coffee, scroll the headlines, and somewhere between the toast and the traffic you whisper, “Lord, why am I here? What do You want with a Tuesday like this?” If that’s you, you’re in good company today. God ...read more

    God sees and values our hearts over outward appearances, choosing and loving the overlooked and ordinary to accomplish extraordinary purposes through His grace.

    Maybe you walked in today carrying the sting of being overlooked. You’ve watched others get the nod, the promotion, the platform, while you’ve kept the sheep, cleaned the messes, showed up in quiet faithfulness where no one was clapping. If that’s you, take heart. Our God loves to surprise us. He ...read more

     | 65 views

    God’s grace is a free gift we cannot earn; through faith, we receive His love and acceptance, not by our efforts but by His mercy.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts like clenched fists—trying to hold it all together, trying to square the accounts with God, trying to make sense of a week that wore us thin. We wonder if grace has a limit, if mercy has a meter, if love has a ledger. We keep a mental checklist: pray more, try ...read more

    God chooses and equips the overlooked, valuing the heart over appearance, and invites us to trust His presence and purpose in our ordinary lives.

    Have you ever felt unseen? Like the world is busy measuring muscles and metrics while your quiet faithfulness hums in the background? Perhaps you walked in carrying a silent ache: overlooked at work, underestimated at home, uncertain about tomorrow. If that’s you, take heart. The God who counts ...read more

    The sermon calls us to embody humility, patience, and love, fostering unity and peace within the church as a reflection of Christ’s grace.

    If you’ve ever stood on a shoreline at sunrise, you know how the early light gathers and glows until everything looks new again. That’s what grace does among God’s people. It brightens faces, softens voices, steadies steps. It turns crowded rooms into caring homes. And on days when worries pile ...read more

    Some of the combative people in Corinth, who had formed factions, seem to have made more of them than was appropriate, placing them on a pedestal as if they were lords of their faith, and authors of their religion.

    By beginning with God’s appearance to Abraham he indicates that he doesn’t disagree with the fathers on what constitutes true religion—the religion of the Jews. For them, all religion, the worship of God, the doctrine of the law, all prophecies....

    The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham. The God of glory is a Hebrew form of expression denoting "the glorious God." It expresses His "majesty, or splendor, or magnificence"; and the word "glory" is often used to describe the marvelous appearances in which God has shown Himself to ...read more

    To establish Christ – that the promised seed passed through the pieces to confirm Jehovah's covenant agreement with Abram. This lesson dispels the notion that Christ's body was stolen, rather than raised, by pervading through the cerecloth left within the tomb.

    Wait a minute. Wasn't the fall of Babylon already predicted? Did it not already happen? Is this the same Babylon? Was Babylon ever taken out like the prophets foretold? Truly a mystery, this Babylon!

    Close up: Babylon’s Description (17:1-7, 15-18) Scholars have speculated about the differences in chapters 17 and 18, theorizing that there must be two different Babylons being described. But careful analysis does not support that notion. There is too much similar. What is different about ...read more
