The Character Of A Disciple: Joy Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 16, 2018

Forgiveness (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Mar 21, 2024

Did you see something new in God's word this past week? Equally important, did you apply it your own life, or bless someone by telling them what the Holy Spirit revealed to you?

In Matthew 18:21 we see that Peter asks Jesus the question “Lord how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” “No not seven times”, Jesus replied, but seventy times seven!” I can just see the thought bubble above Peters head “Oh great, not only do I have to forgive my ...read more

Knowing God

Contributed by Hiram Withers on May 20, 2019

What makes sin serious is not that we sin, it is that we sin against God. To truly know God is to understand the severity of our sin.

I spent a lot of years angry at God. I was so angry that there came a point that I decided he was a fable, he did not exist, he was a crutch for the weak who could not handle the troubles of life. I took every opportunity to prove to others they were living a lie. That was until the faithful ...read more

Looking Ahead To New Grace PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 29, 2025

God’s grace makes us new, freeing us from the past and calling us to live with hope, purpose, and worship in Christ.

Some of us walked in today with a pocket full of yesterdays. Regrets that still ring. Promises we meant to keep. Prayers that feel unanswered. You can almost hear the echo of the past in your soul. But there is Another Voice—steady and kind—that breaks through the static. He says, “Behold, I will ...read more

Belief In Jesus Is Saving Power

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Dec 6, 2012

For the life of me I have never understood just how a nonbeliever makes it through life without God. I don’t know how they make it through their troubles, sickness or loss of a love one. Most depend on their friends and family but, when all the dust settl

Who Do You Trust?

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 25, 2025

God is in control, even when the world seems out of control. Kings, Presidents, and Prime Ministers can’t fix everything. Legislation can’t make people ethical. Psalm 146 makes that clear: “Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save.”

We live in a broken world. What can we do about it? We could anxiously obsess over all the turmoil and moral decay, or rest in God. Worry is fretting over things we can’t control. Prayer is taking our concerns to the One who can change things. God is in control, even when the world seems out ...read more
