Rich In Poverty Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

There are rich Christians who live in utter poverty says Jesus. But to the church in Smyrna He says, "I know your afflictions and your poverty-yet you are rich!" So you have in the judgment of Jesus your poor Christians who are rich, and your rich Christians who are poor.

One of the great paradoxes of life is the fact that the poor can be richer than the rich. Poverty is no necessary hindrance to being wealthy. Wealth, on the other hand, is no guarantee of being truly rich. Even rich Christians are often not rich just because they have wealth. Charles Schultz, ...read more

Quinceanera - Caterpillar To Butterfly

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 17, 2022

What does it mean to be transformed into the image of Christ? This Quinceanera message addresses more than just a coming of age celebration. It focuses on the butterfly-like change that can take place in God's people.

(I was honored to preach the sermon at the Quinceanera - pronounced “kin-sin-yarra” - of one of our Hispanic members. I wanted to do this right, so I studied a lot about this event means. I discovered that a Quinceanera is a celebration of the 15th birthday (Quinceanera literally means “15th year). ...read more

The 153 Fish Wake-Up Call Series

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

As seasons shift, many of us need a reset with Jesus. John 21 shows the risen Christ meeting drifting disciples, filling empty nets, and inviting them to “come and have breakfast.” This isn’t box-checking; it’s returning to the One who seeks us, provides for us, and re-commissions us.

Can you feel it in the air? That subtle shift as summer fades into fall? Me either. But somehow every single store in all of existence seems to feel it as they’re already putting out Christmas decorations. I think by next year we’re going to see combo-fireworks stands selling candy canes and ...read more

Be A Matthew

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 25, 2008

Unlike the Pharisees, Jesus saw Matthew’s need, his worth and his potential. Matthew understood his own need, was willing to follow Christ and shared the Good News.

We are going to look at a man called Levi (also called Matthew in Matt 9:9-12). I will use the more familiar name Matthew here. It is surprising that Jesus would even call a tax-collector to follow Him. • Jesus was preparing a group of disciples who would eventually bring the good news about ...read more

Encouragement For The Persecuted

Contributed by Nathan Johnson on May 7, 2007

When we face persecution and rejection for our life in Christ, we can take courage in the fact that one day, we will find out that it was worth it all and much more.

Introduction: We can take courage in the fact that one day, all those who ridicule and persecute us for our faith, if they do not repent, will have to face God.

Funeral Sermon For The Loss Of A Young Child: "the Smallest Life, A Miracle" Series

Contributed by Ian Hyde on Jun 23, 2023

The loss of a young child or infant is one of the most difficult experiences for any family to process. This funeral sermon is meant to communicate the inherent beauty and worth of even the most fleeting of lives.

Words alone cannot comfort a grieving heart, because words cannot replace the ones we love. Even the most beautiful words are little things, here for only a moment, fleeting and often unnoticed. We live in a world filled with words, some shouted from rooftops and some whispered in a quiet room, yet ...read more
