    Divine Power And Purpose

    Contributed by Amar Chandnani on Jul 6, 2025
     | 307 views

    POWER - SUPERNATURAL ENERGY FROM GOD

    OPENING VERSE: 2 PETER 1:3 3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. As I was meditating on this topic, the LORD impressed upon my spirit one morning to talk about how His Power. So I wanted to ...read more

    THE EXAMPLE OF CHRIST OUR LORD (PHILIPPIANS 2) A young man hired by a supermarket reported for his first day of work. The manager greeted him with a warm handshake and a smile, gave him a broom and said, “Your first job will be to sweep out the store.” “But I’m a college graduate,” the young man ...read more

    The Mission Fulfilled Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Oct 27, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 279 views

    While the mission will one day be fulfilled, we must live on mission today because God’s global purpose remains unfinished.

    The Mission Fulfilled Revelation 7:9-10 Rev. Brian Bill October 25-26, 2025 It’s so powerful to hear God’s Word read in multiple languages, isn’t it? The Book of Revelation was written by the Apostle John while he was exiled on the island of Patmos during a time of extreme persecution. The ...read more

    Recognizing God PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 25, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 71 views

    Trusting God’s timing in every season, we learn to wait with faith, knowing He is present and working even when we cannot see it.

    Some of us came in today with calendars covered in scribbles and hearts heavy with questions. The clock keeps ticking, but the answer seems late. A prayer hangs in the air. A door stays shut. A dream feels shelved. We know God is good, we sing that God is faithful, yet our watches rarely match His ...read more

     | 89 views

    Trusting God with opposition frees us from control and revenge, inviting us to pray honestly and rest in His faithful care amid conflict and criticism.

    Some weeks feel like a parade of prickly people and pricklier problems. A stray comment stings. A coworker corners you with criticism. The group text lights up with misunderstandings, and your heart feels like a drumline—pounding, pounding, pounding. Have you ever replayed a conversation until your ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 49 views

    God’s generous presence and blessing are available to us through prayer, inviting us to trust, receive, and live confidently under His open heaven.

    Some mornings feel like the sky sits low and gray, as if our prayers push against a ceiling of clouds. Bills stack, hearts ache, and strength thins out around the edges. And then we read a line of Scripture and it’s as if God opens a window and lets a fresh breeze run through the room. That’s what ...read more

    The Truth About Family In Heaven PRO Sermon

     | 84 views

    Despite our current limited understanding, God promises we will one day see Him clearly, fully known and loved, reunited and whole in His presence.

    If you’ve ever peered through a fogged-up bathroom mirror and tried to make sense of the face staring back, you know the feeling. Shapes are there. Outlines are there. But clarity? It waits. Life often feels like that—hints without the whole picture, music through a wall, daylight under a door. We ...read more

    Forever Thankful PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 9, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 115 views

    The sermon emphasizes that faith and obedience invite God’s mercy, and gratitude transforms healing into wholeness, calling us to thankful, faithful living each day.

    Some of us came in today carrying silent stories. The kind that follow you into the pew and sit beside you. A late-night worry that won’t let you sleep. A relationship that seems stuck in the storm. A diagnosis that rewrites your calendar. If you’ve ever felt on the fringe, if you’ve ever whispered ...read more

     | 66 views

    God sees and cares about our daily choices, offering grace and accountability, inviting us to live honestly and confidently in His love.

    If you’ve ever stood at the kitchen sink late at night, staring through the window while the day slowly settles, you know that tug inside—the whisper that asks, How did I do today? Did I choose well? Did I honor God with what I said, with how I acted, with what I allowed into my thoughts? Every ...read more

     | 115 views

    God calls us to see our everyday places and relationships as mission fields, inviting us to share His love and presence wherever we are.

    If we could sit across a kitchen table together this morning, coffee steaming, hearts open, I’d ask you a gentle question: Where did Jesus meet you this week? In a car line with cranky kiddos? In a conference call that felt like it would never end? At a mailbox where the bill looked bigger than the ...read more

    God’s love and glory empower us to shine with Christ’s light and purpose, overcoming darkness and reflecting His presence wherever we are.

    Some mornings feel like a fresh page; others feel like a fog. You wake up to headlines that bruise the heart, to to-do lists that shout instead of whisper, to memories that linger longer than you prefer. Yet into that very real world, God speaks a word that warms like sunlight through a window: You ...read more

    Was Judas A Miracle-Working Disciple Of Jesus Who Lost His Salvation?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 11, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,033 views

    Most people recognize Judas Iscariot as one of the 12 Disciples of Jesus and that he was the only one who, after spending three years with Jesus, betrayed Him.

    The name Judas was common during the first century, and there are several others with the same name in the New Testament (Mark 6:3; John 6:71, 13:26, 14:22; Mark 6:3). The name 'Iscariot" is believed to refer to a town in southern Judea called 'Kerioth' which was translated into ...read more

    The Spirit Of Fear

    Contributed by Brian Harrell on Nov 29, 2021
     | 5,673 views

    Let's talk about one of the most commonly shared emotions: fear. Fear will cause us to be beaten down, defeated, have drooping shoulders, shuffling feet, unsmiling, critical, distrusting kind of people. How do you know if you are living with the toxin of fear?

    This morning I want to talk about one of the most commonly shared emotions in this building today. It is fear. If there's anything that I think that this pandemic has created and spread more than the disease itself, it is fear. Life is scary. The world is scary Fear will cause us to be beaten ...read more

    Elijah's Cloak Gives Believers Hope

    Elijah’s ascension, Christ’s ascension, and our hope revolve around the promises of our ascended leaders and the cloaks they give us to have and use.

    May 23, 2004 2 Kings 2:7-14 Fifty men of the company of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing the place where Elijah and Elisha had stopped at the Jordan. 8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it.

    want us to look at three primary passages this morning. These three texts, taken together, form a composite picture of the Ascension.

    I heard recently about a church that was putting on an Easter Cantata. When they came to the climactic scene of the Ascension of Christ, the actor playing Jesus was to be slowly hoisted out of view through an opening in the ceiling. The cue for the guys pulling the rope was when he said, “And ...read more
