     | 126 views

    Heartbreak may feel like the end of your story, but Jesus specializes in meeting us in the ashes and raising hope from the wreckage. This passage shows us how He moves toward us when we feel most lost.

    From Heartbreak to Hope (Expect the Unexpected • Week 2) INTRODUCTION — Heartbreak Is Real For All Of Us Last week we talked about how God often shows up in life’s interruptions — how the mundane can become miraculous. This week, we’re not talking about minor interruptions… but those moments ...read more

    Ephesus was a large and important city in the Roman Empire. Paul and others preached the Gospel, won people to Christ, and wrote them a letter. Now it was time for another letter, this one coming from Jesus Himself.

    The Seven Churches-Ephesus (Note: this message is based on a sermon I preached at New Hope Baptist Church near Fulton, MO on October 19, 2025 but it is not an exact transcription.)

     | 531 views

    At New Year many people reflect on a desire to change some perceived troubled area of their lives. So, they make some New Year resolutions they are going to make some changes in their life this coming year…

    • Lose some weight, • Learn a language, • Focus on learning a new skill or hobby, • Some feel stifled in a career and looking for a new opportunity, • Some recognize their spiritual emptiness and resolve to attempt to “know God” or “become more spiritual” in the coming year. As we ...read more

    Unprecedented  faith - "Creating An Environment Of Faith”

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 11, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 75 views

    As we begin our new series on Unprecedented Faith, I believe it’s wise to lay the foundation for creating an environment where our faith can grow and mature as we pursue God's promises. This faith environment is revealed in Joshua’s life and his parting words to the next generation.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 120 views

    Trusting God’s care frees us from worry, as He values and provides for us even more faithfully than He does for the birds and fields.

    If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m., rehearsing the what-ifs and worst-case scenarios, you’re not alone. The mind races, the heart paces, and the shadows in the room grow longer with every anxious thought. Worry has a way of tightening its grip—white-knuckled, breath-shortening, ...read more

    Small Things Matter PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 28, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 150 views

    God values faithfulness in small, unseen acts; our ordinary, everyday obedience matters deeply and shapes us for greater purposes in His kingdom.

    If you’ve ever held a mustard seed between your fingers, you know how small it is—hardly more than a speck. Yet tucked inside that tiny shell is a towering tree in the making. In the same way, God tucks holy possibility into small places: the quiet errand, the thank-you note, the picked-up towel, ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 111 views

    God uses our ordinary gifts and daily acts of service to bless others, display His grace, and bring glory to Jesus in everyday life.

    Friends, can we talk about the quiet heroes God sends our way? The ones with flour on their aprons and prayer on their lips; the ones who show up with a casserole, a kind word, a seat at the table. I think of a dear woman I knew—no spotlight, no stage—just a well-worn Bible, a wobbly kitchen chair, ...read more

    It's Going To Be Big PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 3, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 92 views

    God’s abundant goodness invites us to pray boldly and expectantly, trusting His faithfulness to do more than we can imagine or ask.

    If you’ve ever stood on the shore at dawn, watching waves roll in one after another, you know something about the heart of God. His goodness doesn’t trickle; it tumbles. His grace doesn’t drip; it drenches. He is the God who fills empty nets, feeds hungry crowds, and whispers to weary hearts, “I ...read more

    The sermon encourages perseverance in doing good, assuring that faithful, unseen efforts matter and will ultimately yield a harvest in God’s perfect timing.

    Some of us walked in today a little weary, a little worn, and a little wondering. You’ve been faithful in the small things—praying for prodigals, blessing neighbors, showing up for work with integrity, holding your tongue when it would be easier to snap, trusting God when the calendar feels crowded ...read more

    God uses our pain and trials not to harm us, but to grow our hope, maturity, and fruitfulness for His greater purpose.

    Friend, I’m glad you’re here. Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache that doesn’t let go. The diagnosis was unexpected. The stack of bills looks tall. The silence in the house feels louder than it used to. Life can sting. Yet God meets us right in the middle of the mess and whispers a word ...read more
