    The Promise Is Received By Faith PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 14, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 83 views

    God’s promises are guaranteed by grace, not our strength; faith trusts and obeys even when we doubt, because grace secures what God has spoken.

    Some days faith feels like a full sail on a steady sea. Other days it feels like a flickering candle cupped in the wind. I think of you who walked in today carrying quiet questions. You who love Jesus and still wonder how His promises stand tall in a world that leans hard. You who have prayed for ...read more

    Trusting Jesus’ word brings healing and hope; faith in His authority, not our worthiness or understanding, invites His miraculous power into our lives.

    Friends, perhaps you walked in today with a knot in your stomach and a prayer under your breath. Maybe the doctor’s words still echo. Maybe the bill is bigger than your paycheck. Maybe the bedroom is quiet and the tears come louder at night. What if the miracle you need is as close as a word from ...read more

    This sermon explores the concept of faith as essential to believers, the power of even a small amount of faith, and the plea to Jesus to increase our faith, as illustrated in Luke 17:5-10.

    How many here today have ever asked God for more faith? Maybe you were in a really difficult situation and you were praying for something big. Something miraculous. And in the moment of that tension, you spoke the words, “Increase my faith!” If that sounds like something you’ve done before, believe ...read more

    We look for loopholes in what God has called us to do, but the Bible calls us to a proactive lifestyle, it makes us face who we really are, and it calls us to accountability.

    Some of us love to take the simple and make it complex. Some of us thrive on taking perfectly obvious matters and making them as obscure as possible. My neighbor’s car has on it a bumper sticker that says, “Eschew obfuscation”. After about a half-hour with the dictionary, I found out that means, ...read more
