The Stubborn Evangelist: Part 3 Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Had he been your employee you would have fired him. Would you take an officer who has just been court-martialed and immediately give him command of a post? Yet, notice the amazing patience God has for Jonah.

Today we continue a four part series entitled Jonah: The Stubborn Evangelist. Jonah is also a man on the run from his responsibility – to share the message of God’s mercy to others. And this is what Jonah is really about – first experiencing God’s mercy and then extending God’s mercy. And it’s ...read more

Go! And Serve The King - Matthew 25:31-46 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Mar 28, 2025

Every person will stand before Jesus one day. The rich and the poor. The powerful and the weak. The famous and the unknown. No one will escape that moment. And Jesus will separate people into two groups—like a shepherd separates sheep from goats. The question is: Which side will you be on?

Faith Conquers Fear

Contributed by Amar Chandnani on Nov 23, 2025

You know the bible mentions FEAR around 300-400 times BUT it mentions faith/trust/believe 1,000 times. Let that sink in. Faith overcomes Fear and Fear is there to test our Faith!

2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Let us pray… Let me tell you a story. One day a man decides to clean his roof gutter.

Why Is The Kingdom Open To The ‘least Of These’? Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 20, 2026

We are familiar with Jesus talking about "the least of these," but why are they a target of the Kingdom? This parable gives us insight into that question.

The Joy And Crown Of Boasting PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 13, 2025

Even when separated or hindered, God’s presence unites and sustains us, making our love and faith in Christ endure until His return.

If you’ve ever waved goodbye at an airport gate or watched a taillight fade down a long highway, you know the quiet ache of separation. We stand on porches and in parking lots, with a smile on the lips and a lump in the throat, and we whisper, “Until later.” Our hearts carry faces and names. Our ...read more

When I Pray PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 15, 2025

Prayer is a powerful, intimate encounter with God that brings healing, unity, and hope when we approach Him honestly and support one another.

Some of us walked in today with a whisper instead of a shout. Hearts carry heavy headlines—doctor’s reports, strained relationships, silent worries that keep us wide awake at 3 a.m. You’ve prayed before, and maybe your prayer felt like a paper airplane tossed into a hurricane. But friend, the God ...read more

Wait And Don't Wait PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 15, 2025

Trusting God in seasons of waiting renews our strength, turning weariness into endurance and hope, as faith refuses to panic amid uncertainty.

Some of us walked in today with a wait in our bones. We’ve stood in waiting rooms, stared at silent phones, counted ceiling tiles in the midnight hours. We’ve waited for a call back from a doctor, a prodigal to come home, a door to open, a cloud to move. Life can feel like a long line at the DMV of ...read more
