    The Power Of The Resurrection In Our Lives PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Mar 19, 2024
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,317 views

    This sermon explores the profound truth of Christ's resurrection, urging believers to experience and internalize it, thereby understanding Christ's deep love for us.

    Good morning, dear friends! As we gather here today, I am reminded of something Charles Spurgeon once said: "To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that is the highest science to which any creature can aspire." It is this love, this divine, all-encompassing love that draws us together, ...read more

    The Consequences Of Our Actions And Attitudes PRO Sermon

     | 856 views

    The sermon urges us to notice and compassionately respond to those in need at our gates, opening our lives and tables with urgent, Christlike love.

    Some stories slip in quietly and sit down beside you. Others knock at the front door and ask to be heard. Jesus tells one that stands at the gate. We can see him, can’t we? A rich man with linens crisp as a spring morning. A poor man with sores that sting like salt. A gate between them. A table ...read more

    Committing To Our Mission As The Church PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 3, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 158 views

    Jesus seeks the lost and sends us to join His mission, turning everyday places into opportunities to share His love, freedom, and abundant life.

    There’s a line that lingers in the soul like a song you can’t forget: Jesus came looking for people. Before we raised our hands, before we learned the words, before we found our seat on a Sunday—He was already searching. He crossed crowded roads, dusty villages, and social barriers, because that’s ...read more

    God Sees Our Hearts PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 127 views

    God calls us to honest, wholehearted integrity—living openly before Him and others—because true freedom and joy are found in sincerity, not in appearances.

    Some passages ease into our living rooms like an old friend, and some step onto the front porch and ring the bell with urgency. Acts 5 is one of those moments. It invites us to sit still, to listen closely, and to remember that God cares about what we hold in our hands and what we hide in our ...read more

    Christ At The Center Of Our Relationships PRO Sermon

     | 179 views

    The sermon calls us to embody Christ’s selfless love in everyday actions, making His love visible through unity, humility, forgiveness, and patient care for one another.

    Good morning, dear friends. If your week felt hurried and your heart feels thin, you’re in the right place. Take a breath. Set your shoulders down. Imagine the Savior kneeling with a towel at His waist, looking into the eyes of people who would soon scatter, and speaking a command as tender as it ...read more

    Trust God’s presence and providence when facing hostility or fear, relying on His protection and grace instead of reacting with anger or self-defense.

    Some of us walked in today weary, worried, and worn. You’ve been dodging spears you never asked for—sharp words at work, quiet tensions at home, old wounds that seem to whisper fresh threats. It feels like you’re playing the harp in Saul’s palace—trying to bring calm—while a javelin sits poised in ...read more

    God’s grace awakens us from spiritual slumber, inviting us to embrace Christ’s love, leave behind darkness, and live each day clothed in His light.

    Some mornings feel like mercy. The light slips under the blinds, the scent of coffee drifts through the house, and you think, “I can do today.” Other mornings feel heavy. The alarm sounds like a siren, the covers cling like chains, and your mind measures all the miles ahead. We’ve all known both ...read more

    How to live a holy life

    Acts 19:1-6 While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the interior provinces. Finally, he came to Ephesus, where he found several believers.

    We've Must Get To Holy Ground

     | 15,340 views

    This text reminds us that our goal in life should be neither reaching high ground nor good ground, but rather holy ground; woe be unto us if we use elevation and wealth as substitutes for being holy.

    Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led his flock beyond the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed. ...read more

    How To Deal With Sin And Guilt Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Apr 19, 2021
     | 3,284 views

    Many options in the religious and secular world are given for how to deal with our everyday experience of sin, the guilt it brings and the dread of potential ultimate condemnation. The Book of Hebrews is adamant that there is only one solution for sin, and no other substitutes.

    The great American psychiatrist Karl Menninger, author of the book, Whatever Became of Sin, once stated that if he could convince patients in psychiatric hospitals that their sins were forgiven, 75% of them could walk out the next day. His statement underscores the struggle that all of us human ...read more

    Consider The True Glory Of Our King!

     | 1,370 views

    In His "state of humiliation" as theologians say, Jesus' glory was most deeply hidden! Through these verses from Colossians we are invited to see the true glory of King Jesus!

    “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” All four of the Gospel writers (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) tell us about the written notice of the charge against Jesus—and for which Pontius Pilate crucified him. It’s a small but important detail from the Friday that we call good. Does anyone ...read more

    What have you substituted in your life in exchange for God’s power? Is it rituals? Family activities, Spiritual mountaintop memories? Church duties?

    I visited one of our members in the nursing home. He told me that he didn’t have long to live because of his diagnosis of cancer. So I inquired of his wisdom so I could perhaps glean some jewels of knowledge to help me along my life journey. One question that I asked him, was “What one thing would ...read more

    The Meaning Of The Cross Youth Sermon

     | 1,146 views

    The main idea is to understand two theories of atonement - Penal Substitution and Christus Victor - and to explore the significance of Jesus' death on the cross in defeating the powers of evil.

    You know that cross necklace you wear, or the one you see people wearing? It's more than just a cool piece of jewelry. It's a symbol of something huge that happened a long time ago. Jesus died on a cross, and that changed everything. But why did He have to die, and why does it matter so much? Let's ...read more
