    Recognizing God PRO Sermon

     | 96 views

    Trusting God’s timing in every season, we learn to wait with faith, knowing He is present and working even when we cannot see it.

    Some of us came in today with calendars covered in scribbles and hearts heavy with questions. The clock keeps ticking, but the answer seems late. A prayer hangs in the air. A door stays shut. A dream feels shelved. We know God is good, we sing that God is faithful, yet our watches rarely match His ...read more

    When Worship Becomes Empty Words PRO Sermon

    The sermon urges us to approach God with reverence, listen before speaking, and honor our promises, trusting that God shapes the world through prayerful hearts.

    There’s a hush that falls on the heart when we remember who God is. The ancient preacher of Ecclesiastes takes us by the hand and leads us into that hush. He knows about rushed mornings and restless nights. He knows about hurried hands and harried hearts. And he whispers a needed word to weary ...read more

    Trusting Jesus with even the smallest faith leads to powerful results, as God values humble obedience over impressive displays of strength or ability.

    If you’ve ever sat at a kitchen table with a bill you can’t pay, a diagnosis you can’t fix, or a relationship you can’t untangle, you’ve likely whispered the disciples’ prayer: "Lord, increase our faith." It’s a simple sentence with a grand ache. We know the feeling of being stretched thin, of ...read more

     | 113 views

    True worship happens when our hearts and minds align with God’s truth, allowing authentic praise regardless of our changing feelings or circumstances.

    Friends, pull up a chair and take a deep breath. Some of us walked in today with hearts humming like a racing engine, others with batteries barely blinking. Some of us feel God’s nearness; others wonder if our prayers are bouncing off the ceiling. Can I encourage you? You are not here by accident. ...read more

     | 247 views

    True faith is shown by compassion for others; ignoring those in need hardens our hearts and distances us from God’s grace and eternal hope.

    Friends, welcome. Some stories slip past our defenses and sit down in the living room of our hearts. Jesus tells one of those stories today. It hums with hope and honesty. It whispers to our comfort and calls to our conscience. It lifts our chin so we can see the person at the gate and the God who ...read more

    Trusting God with opposition frees us from control and revenge, inviting us to pray honestly and rest in His faithful care amid conflict and criticism.

    Some weeks feel like a parade of prickly people and pricklier problems. A stray comment stings. A coworker corners you with criticism. The group text lights up with misunderstandings, and your heart feels like a drumline—pounding, pounding, pounding. Have you ever replayed a conversation until your ...read more

    God abundantly refreshes and enriches our lives when we pray, turning our dry seasons into fruitful harvests through His faithful provision and grace.

    Some of us walked in today feeling like cracked earth—stretched thin, thirsty, waiting for a cloud to gather overhead. You’ve known seasons like that. Maybe you’re in one now. The bills feel bigger than your paycheck. The grief feels heavier than your shoulders. The prayers feel longer than the ...read more

     | 69 views

    God uses our small offerings, given in faith and compassion, to meet the needs of others and multiply blessings beyond what we imagine.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that took a lot of effort. Bills stare back, bodies ache, and a stack of needs feels taller than our energy. Maybe you’re a parent counting pennies at the grocery store, a grandparent worrying over a prodigal, or a student standing at the edge of a new season ...read more

     | 66 views

    God’s approval, not others’ opinions, defines our worth; even when those closest doubt us, Jesus understands and affirms our value through the cross.

    Some of the hardest headwinds we face often blow from our own back porch. It’s funny how life works: strangers may applaud you, acquaintances may admire you, but the folks who know your middle name and saw your backyard mistakes can struggle to see God’s handiwork in you. They remember the messy ...read more

    God invites our weary, honest selves to find true rest in His presence, offering comfort and strength for every burden we carry.

    There’s a hush that comes when a roomful of tired hearts hears a kind voice. I believe that’s what this moment can be—a hush for hurried souls, a pause for people who have given their best and still feel thin, a holy breath for those who woke up weary. Some of us are carrying backpacks no one else ...read more

     | 63 views

    True spiritual fruitfulness comes when we surrender our lives to God, trusting Him to bring new life and abundance from our acts of faith.

    There’s a wonder in the way God works that often begins small and quiet, like a seed resting in the palm of your hand. If you’ve ever planted one, you know the hush of that moment. You press it into the soil, cover it with a thin blanket of earth, and walk away with a mixture of faith and ...read more

    Jesus calls every believer to courageous, surrendered living—trusting His authority, presence, and purpose—as we share His love and message in our everyday lives.

    Some of us came in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Some with questions that keep us awake. Some with a to-do list longer than a river. And yet, here we are, gathered under the gentle reign of the risen Christ, the One who meets us in our Mondays and our midnights. He knows the names on your ...read more

    God defines our true identity, calling us chosen and purposeful, empowering us to live distinctly and shine His light in a world of confusion.

    Good morning, friends. Settle your hearts for a moment and breathe this in: God knows your name, sees your needs, and has spoken a word over your life that outlasts every label the world tries to stick on you. When life feels loud and your identity feels blurry, Peter hands us a clear, bright ...read more

    Christ meets us in our weakness, supplying strength and love so we can persevere, serve others, and experience true courage in everyday life.

    Some of us walked in with smiles; some of us walked in with sighs. Schedules feel heavy. Headlines howl. Bills pile, plates spin, and sleep sneaks away. You’ve tried to be strong for your people, and the strength ran thin. You’ve tried to be brave for your heart, and the courage felt small. If ...read more

    Jesus gives pastors as a loving gift to His church, calling us to honor, support, and pray for them as they shepherd and serve us.

    Some of the greatest gifts Jesus gives to His church have names and faces, coffee-stained sermon notes, calloused knees, and tender hearts. They stand at hospital bedsides, whisper prayers in empty sanctuaries, answer phone calls after midnight, and show up again on Sunday with a smile that says, ...read more
