Three people who couldn't be more different-- a man with a demon, a woman with a disease, and a leader with a daughter--all find common ground at the feet of Jesus.

Demons and Daughters Mark 5 Good morning! Please turn in your Bibles back to Mark 5.

Thorns That Hinder & Thorns That Help

Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Jun 4, 2020

Pain can be a gift from God that leads us to sanctification or push us from relationship with Him. It all depends on our response.

Thorns That Hinder & Thorns That Help INTRODUCTION: Genesis 2 tells us, “And the LORD planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had formed.” The name Eden means delight. I don’t know, but from what we read there was no such thing in that world as pain as we know it. ...read more

The Construction Of A King's Character (1 Samuel 16:14-23)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 7, 2024

God used solitude, secrecy, sameness, and struggle to shape the character and faith of David for his future role as king of Israel. God can use tools like these to shape anyone who surrenders their life to Him.

David had just been anointed as the next king of Israel by the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 16:1-13), much to the amazement of his father and brothers. He had been in the fields of Judea tending the family flocks, seemingly consigned like the majority of the populace to live a life of productive ...read more

Do Not Conform Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

As Christians, we are called not to conform to the world's patterns but to be transformed by renewing our minds. This transformation requires intentional daily living.

Let's kick things off with a little experiment. I've got a video of a chameleon here. What's the first thing you notice about it? Right, it changes colors to blend in with its surroundings. It's a survival tactic. But here's the thing, we're not chameleons. We're not meant to blend in, but to stand ...read more

Hope For The Broken Youth Sermon

When our sin is exposed, we can feel broken and ashamed. But Jesus offers forgiveness and a fresh start. We can find hope in Him.

We've all messed up, right? We've all made choices that led to some kind of brokenness. Maybe it's a friendship that's gone sour, or you've messed up at school, or you're having a tough time at home.

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon explores where to turn during our darkest moments, using a personal anecdote from the pastor's childhood as a metaphor for finding oneself in unexpected and challenging situations.

One of my most vivid childhood memories is of an afternoon in sixth grade, when a friend and I decided to swing on a newly-installed bar hanging over the walkway on our way out of school. The bar was about 8 feet off the ground, just low enough for the two of us to reach if we jumped. So on the ...read more

The Journey Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 10, 2023

This sermon introduction explores the concept of personal change, questioning whether individuals are capable of significant transformation, and providing examples of famous individuals who have undergone notable changes in their lives.

Can people really change? Are we “hardwired” by our genetics to act or think a certain way? Can we overcome the lack of lessons we learned in our early childhood? Those are some big questions, but I have a few examples that suggest that people really can change. For example, did you know that ...read more
