Sermons on Mercy:

El Roi: Making Sense Of God Seeing Us

Contributed by Jessica Linde on Jul 21, 2025

By looking at the story of Hagar and how she gives God the name El Roi ("God who sees"), this sermon’s ultimate goal is to highlight that God being able to see us is not an indication of Him wanting to surveil us; rather, it's an indication of His boundless compassion and mercy on us.

Who here has ever read George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984? Or maybe seen the movie version of it with John Hurt…? Right, so for those of you who may not know (or need a refresher), Orwell published his work 1984 in the year 1949, and it’s really a speculation (perhaps a warning) of what the year ...read more

Measure Upon Measure – The Glorious Conclusion – The Restoration Of God - Part 17 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 27, 2025

This last sermon draws it all together and we stand in awe at all that the Lord has done in addressing ALL the consequences of Adam’s sin. Then He has restored what Adam could never have had in full grace and mercy to the sinner. I have loved doing this series and hope you do also.

It is advisable to read all that preceded this last conclusion. The whole lot is the wonderful story of redemption and the window on the ...read more

A Refuge From God's Wrath Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 20, 2019

Jesus became a man to deliver us from God's wrath. His birth does speak of divine justice, of heavenly mercy and God's love. But, that love delivers us from judgement. If we reject the love of God in Christ the Lord, nothing remains but God's wrath.

“I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, ‘You are my Son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ Now ...read more

The Politics Of Jesus

Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Oct 30, 2023

Christians think they align with Jesus' views. Some are surprised, others offended. Jesus’ campaign sounds like a liberal utopia because we’re not ready to let go of hate, we’re not ready to trust in God and not in the law. We have to transcend hate and show the mercy we’ve been shown by God.

There are only two shows that I’ve ever watched the entire series. One of which I still own on DVD and have watched the entire series 3 times. If there was any show that I’d love to see still running today it would be this one. I’d love to see how it would interpret and respond to the issues of our ...read more

Living In The Last Days In The Power Of God’s Transformation – Part 1 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 5, 2023

A seminar message based mainly on Romans 12:1-2. This considers transformation and resultant worship. All Christians are falling short if the truth of these two verses is not being taken seriously. We need transformation in individuals and churches.

Giving Thanks When Life Is Hard

Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 6, 2023

Who Controls Your World?

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Oct 13, 2024

So many things seem to control our lives. So what, or who, controls your world? Are you at the mercy of something that has a grip on you that keeps you from being who you want to be? Or have you found the answer to what will best give you the peace you are looking for? We all have a choice.

Contributed by Derek Geldart on May 9, 2021

Restoring The Fallen With Meekness
