     | 57 views

    God’s generous presence and blessing are available to us through prayer, inviting us to trust, receive, and live confidently under His open heaven.

    Some mornings feel like the sky sits low and gray, as if our prayers push against a ceiling of clouds. Bills stack, hearts ache, and strength thins out around the edges. And then we read a line of Scripture and it’s as if God opens a window and lets a fresh breeze run through the room. That’s what ...read more

    God offers deep, transformative grace—restoring brokenness, writing His law on our hearts, and forgiving our sins completely through the new covenant in Christ.

    Some days feel like a slow sunrise after a long night. You wake up with yesterday’s worries still whispering, with old guilt tugging at your sleeve, with the quiet question that won’t quit: Can things really change? Is there mercy for what’s been messed up, mendedness for what’s been mangled? If ...read more

    The sermon emphasizes the vital role of encouragement within the church, showing how our words and presence strengthen one another through life’s challenges.

    Church family, have you noticed how a simple sentence at the right time can steady your soul? A text that says, “I’m praying for you.” A hand on the shoulder with a whisper, “You’re not alone.” Those small syllables become like shelter in a storm. They warm a cold day. They remind your heart that ...read more

    God responds to bold, faith-filled prayers, meeting us in our struggles and making a way when we trust Him with the impossible.

    Some days saunter. Others sprint. A calendar can feel like a carousel that won’t stop, deadlines whirling and daylight thinning. You’ve felt it, haven’t you? That wish for just a little more light, a few more minutes, a sliver of space to finish the task, to face the fight, to hug the child, to say ...read more

    How David Overcame Fear PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 31, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 57 views

    Trusting God in the midst of fear means refusing to panic, anchoring ourselves in His Word, and passing courage to others through faith.

    If fear had a face, many of us could sketch it from memory. It’s the 2 a.m. visitor, the whisperer of what-ifs, the tightness in the chest that shows up when the phone rings, the inbox pings, or the doctor clears his throat. Fear creeps into bedrooms, boardrooms, and back pews. It visits ...read more

    Relying on the Holy Spirit’s power, not our own efforts, keeps our focus on Christ and sustains us daily by God’s grace.

    If you’ve ever started your morning with grand intentions and then tripped over your own shoelaces by lunch, you’re in good company. We set the coffee, open the calendar, whisper a prayer, and head out the door with a heart set on Jesus. Then the rush hits. Emails multiply. Expectations pile high. ...read more

    THIS IS A THEOLOGICAL APPROACH TO A FACTUAL PROBLEM. EVERYONE THAT SAYS LORD, LORD SHALL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. THIS COMBATS THE MYTH THAT EVERY PROFESSING CHRISTIAN SHALL MAKE THE MARK.

    God keeps his promises by working FOR us; WITH us and IN us.

    Read Isaiah 40:10-28 I. GOD WORKS FOR US. He knows us intimately. He works for us tirelessly. He binds himself for us in unbreakable promises. Robinson’s father never went to a doctor.
