    Learning From Lament Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 14, 2020
     | 6,559 views

    In addition to the benefits we experience as we pray lament prayers, there are also important things that we can learn through our suffering and times of lament. Using the book of Lamentations, we learn at least two important lessons.

    A. One Sunday, a minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his sermon, so as he stood before the congregation, he placed four worms into four separate jars. 1. He explained he was putting the first worm into a jar with alcohol, the second worm into a jar filled with ...read more

    The Bible says only one in ten will return to praise God for what He has done for me. Nine people were healed, but only one person honored the Lord. Only one person was found to be kneeling at Jesus’ feet, thanking Jesus.

    Jesus met ten anonymous people in our story today, we are never told their names. All ten men were soon to die and all ten men were miraculously healed. Only one of the ten came back to thank Jesus. I wonder, if you were one of these ten, would you be a part of the nine who didn’t return to give ...read more

     | 1,021 views

    Joseph went from freedom to a slave in Egypt, BUT GOD…was with him, and he prospered in everything he did as a testimony to others of GOD's Mercy and Grace. His reality couldn't be any further from what he had dreamt.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 98 views

    God invites us to move forward with Him, leaving the past behind and focusing on Christ, trusting His presence and grace for every step.

    There’s a reason your heart quickens whenever you sense a fresh start. New mercies. New morning. New possibilities. Like a runner at the starting line, leaning forward, muscles ready, eyes fixed—something inside you says, "There’s more ahead." You were made for forward motion with Christ. You were ...read more

     | 91 views

    Jesus meets our deepest needs with forgiveness and healing, responding to faith—both ours and others’—with love greater than we can imagine.

    If you listen closely, you can almost hear the shuffle of sandals and the rustle of robes in that little house in Capernaum. The room is stuffed shoulder-to-shoulder with people who showed up hungry for more than bread. They want words that mend, a voice that understands, a touch that makes all ...read more

    Committing To Our Mission As The Church PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 3, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 113 views

    Jesus seeks the lost and sends us to join His mission, turning everyday places into opportunities to share His love, freedom, and abundant life.

    There’s a line that lingers in the soul like a song you can’t forget: Jesus came looking for people. Before we raised our hands, before we learned the words, before we found our seat on a Sunday—He was already searching. He crossed crowded roads, dusty villages, and social barriers, because that’s ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 117 views

    When we feel exhausted and overwhelmed, God invites us to trust Him, wait on Him, and receive renewed strength for each day.

    Some of us walked in today with a quiet question humming beneath the surface: How much longer can I keep this up? The calendar is crowded, the to-do list grows fangs, and sleep feels like a stranger. Parents, professionals, students, caregivers—such faithful folks—yet even you can feel thin at the ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 59 views

    God redeems our deepest failures, transforming brokenness into hope, as seen in Judah’s story, ultimately pointing us to Christ’s unfailing love and redemption.

    Friends, settle your hearts and take a deep breath. Grace has a way of meeting us right where we are—right in the middle of our mess, our mistakes, and our midnight worries. If you’ve ever wondered whether God can weave good from the tangled threads of your past, you’re in the right place. If ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 155 views

    God graciously calls us to return, lay down our burdens and idols, and receive renewed identity, mercy, and blessing through His faithful love.

    Some of God’s kindest invitations arrive in a single word: Return. When life feels scattered and the heart feels thin, the Father whispers, “Come back to the place where you first heard My voice.” Maybe you know that tug. Maybe the calendar is packed, the nights are long, and your soul has been ...read more

     | 72 views

    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

    based on 3 ratings
     | 82 views

    True worship begins with surrender at God’s altar, where we lay down our lives and receive grace through Christ’s ultimate sacrifice.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides the tired places of the soul. Some of us carried questions that feel too heavy to say out loud. And some of us came hungry for hope, like parched ground waiting for rain. Friend, you are seen. You are welcome. You are loved. In this moment, with ...read more

     | 161 views

    Jesus sees, calls, and transforms the overlooked and broken, offering grace and belonging to all who respond to His invitation, no matter their past.

    Friends, picture it with me: a crowded street in Jericho, hot dust swirling, elbows and shoulders jostling for a glimpse of a traveling Teacher. At the edge of that scene is a man who feels small in more ways than one. He has money that can buy him furniture but not friends, status that sparks ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 63 views

    God draws near to us in our loneliness, offering peace and hope by pouring His love into our hearts through Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

    Some nights feel longer than others. The house is quiet, the phone is still, and the ache of an empty chair at the table can sound like thunder in the soul. Bills stack up, worries pile high, and even in a crowded room it’s easy to feel hidden in plain sight. We smile for photos, but the heart can ...read more

    God Has Abandoned You Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Jul 7, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 588 views

    Even when God feels silent or distant, He has not abandoned us. His presence is constant—even in the pain, even in the silence. The lie says God has walked away; the truth is, He is still with us. Always.

    ### **Introduction: The Lie That God Has Abandoned Us** Video Ill.: Sermon Bumper 5 There is a belief that has quietly worked its way into hearts and minds for generations — and it still lingers today. It is the belief that God created the universe, yes — but then He stepped back. He set the ...read more

    When "If” Met "So”

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 4, 2025
     | 147 views

    From the serpent’s "if" that birthed doubt to the Savior’s "so" that proved love, redemption silences every question with grace.

    I. YOU STILL CALL MY NAME — THE CRISIS OF CONFESSION WITHOUT CHARACTER There are small words that change destinies—and none smaller than if. Two letters that separate ruin from renewal, noise from nearness. When Solomon dedicated the temple, the glory of God fell like fire. The priests couldn’t ...read more
