The Good Shepherd PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 10, 2025

Some prayers feel like sprinting—fast, full of faith. Others feel like limping—slow, sore, and short on strength. If you’ve ...read more

The Makings Of A Good Dad

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 19, 2017

For Mother's Day my sermon was, "The Makings of A Good Mom" so it's only fitting that I do the same for Father's Day. Quote: "It only takes a minute to be a father but it takes a lifetime to be a dad." What are some things that make a good dad?

THE MAKINGS OF A GOOD DAD Contrast between TV dads of the 50's and those of today. Back then Dad was portrayed as the leader, the guider; he was admired.

The Shepherd And His Sheep

No, not a sheep in a metaphorical sort of way – but I want you to put yourself in the position of a real, four-legged, wooly sheep. Your task over the next few minutes will be to look at life and look at the world from ...read more

What's So Good About Good Friday?

Contributed by Dave Bootsma on Mar 30, 2006

How you view the cross makes all the difference.

There’s a guy ... nailed to a cross and dripping blood, and everybody’s blaming themselves for that man’s torment, but I said to myself, ’Forget it. I had ...read more
