    Dazed By Discontent And Disappointment - When Hopes And Dreams Are Shattered On The Rocks Of Regret

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 20, 2025
    based on 4 ratings
     | 150 views

    There are times during the Christian walk, even when the miraculous is happening all around, that things will go haywire as the reality of this life intervenes unannounced, and hopes and dreams are dashed on the rocks of regret, which manifest as fear and anger at God because they feel betrayed.

    Fear and hope are similar in that they are both forms of anticipation of the future. Fear is a form of negative hope. A person’s thinking is often dominated either by the dream and hope of success or by fear of failure. When their hopes are not realized, or their desires, dreams, expectations, ...read more

    What Good Can Come From This? PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 106 views

    God invites us to move beyond cynicism, trust His surprising work, and expect transformation when we honestly bring our doubts and hopes to Jesus in prayer.

    Some of us carry a quiet weariness. We scroll headlines, hear hard news, and think, “Here we go again.” Cynicism creeps in like a cold draft. We start to shrink our hopes, trim our prayers, and settle for safe, small expectations. We wonder if real change is possible. We wonder if God still ...read more

    The sermon calls us to abandon empty rituals and idols, turning instead to wholehearted worship of the living God who alone gives true life and meaning.

    Welcome, friend. Pull up a chair in your heart for a few quiet minutes. Imagine the sound of pages turning, the scent of a well-worn Bible, the gentle hush that settles when God’s people lean in to listen. Some weeks feel hurried, don’t they? Calendars packed, habits humming, and before we know it, ...read more

    God’s grace meets us in our brokenness, offering forgiveness and restoration through Christ, no matter how far we’ve fallen or how flawed we feel.

    Some of us walked in today carrying a quiet ache. Maybe it’s a memory that won’t loosen its grip. Maybe it’s a habit that keeps hollering our name. Maybe it’s the nagging sense that we should be further along than we are. If that’s you, you’ve come to the right place. Not a museum for the perfect, ...read more

    The world has been infected with a sickness that is constantly trying to creep into the church. Why are we so careful about the physical side of our life and its infections, but many Christians have no concern about the spiritual side?

    Worship As A Way Of Life Series

    Contributed by Daniel Devilder on Dec 6, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,396 views

    Worship is a total way of life of loving our Lord that will stand up under the scrutiny of God himself—and in spite of our circumstances. This is a four parter. (It originally started as one sermon and was split off and expanded to four.)

    Disciplines are a way of life for most people. Choosing to do things on a regular basis so that desired goals are reached—those goals wouldn’t be reached without disciplining ourselves in certain tasks: We teach our daughters and sons to brush their teeth. Why? SO that when the ...read more
