The Crucified King PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 26, 2025

God meets us in our deepest pain, offering hope and love through Christ, transforming our cries into praise and gathering us into His redeemed people.

Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache. You smiled at the door, shook a hand or two, found your seat, but there’s a knot that won’t untie. A prayer that feels unanswered.

Preparation. Expectation. From today until the “big day” in December those are the two things most of us will be experiencing.

Give Us A King

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

This passage shares the account of a church that is looking at what the church down the road is doing. The pastor (Samuel) tries to lead this church (Israel) according to God’s will, but the congregation won’t heed his counsel.

As we look at this chapter of 1 Samuel today, there unfolds a scene that can be applied to discussing the goal of churches today. What is the vision of some churches? Do churches think in a Christ-centered manner, or do they think in a worldly manner? What I mean is this: Are churches today ...read more

Good Days And Bad Days

Contributed by Ricky Johnson on Feb 19, 2012

Some days everything is right and others everything is wrong; to get through them place our faith in the Christ. When we put our faith in Jesus christ, we are to be bold in proclaiming that faith.

Every day in our lives is not necessarily a good day. Once in awhile we experience bad days; maybe even some horrible days. Days which will make us question the possibility of another tomorrow or may even challenge our relationship with GOD. Hopefully, no one here is in the habit of placing ...read more

"All In A Day’s Work”

Contributed by David Roth on Oct 5, 2020

In a parable of vineyard workers, Christ shows that all who receive from Him, and all that is received from Him, is totally gift. It is not earned. As Christians we rejoice and are thankful that we are in His vineyard, and that His continues to call others to His vineyard to labor with us.
