    We’re called to worship not only inside the walls of a church, but to worship without walls. How? To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God.

    There is much truth in the humorous adage that some people make things happen, others watch things happen, while still others are left wondering what happened. What is true of individuals is also true of churches. Some churches are dynamic, aggressively

    based on 14 ratings
     | 9,915 views

    This sermon is one that makes it clear that everybody that is standing in your corner really is not in your corner; so therefore, everybody is not your friend.

    Introduction: The word friend is a word that is often taken lightly or with no significance. Webster’s definition of friend is somebody who trusts and is fond of another. A true friend is one we can say has our back through the thick and the thin. A true friend is one that will be with you no ...read more

    Revival: Stronger Than Ever - Where To Turn In Your Darkest Moment Premium Sermon

    Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 716 views

    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

    Angel On Your Shoulder

     | 3,713 views

    I believe that God does indeed assign His angels to protect police officers and soldiers and all those who willingly put their lives on the line for others. I believe that God also assigns angels to watch over ordinary Christians and ordinary churches

    The Angel on Your Shoulder Psalm 91 It was late October and I was working midnight shift at the police station in our small town. It had been a quiet night until we got a call about a bar fight with serious injuries. It seems two friends had been drinking heavily when one decided to crush a beer ...read more
