    God Gave You And Me A Conscience, Why?

    Contributed by David Leach on Jan 9, 2014
     | 4,383 views

    The second is the evidence of an inner voice or conscience that instinctively knows the difference between right and wrong, a moral compass, that none of the rest of His creation has.

    God gave you and me a Conscience, why? God wants every human being to enter and live forever in His kingdom. However His kingdom is one of righteousness meaning there is no sin there, that is, there is never any disobedience to God there. Because Adam and Eve chose to believe Satan’s ...read more

    Bathsheba, A Mother To Model

    based on 85 ratings
     | 70,799 views

    Bathsheba is probably one of the least likely people you ever thought of as a good example for mothers, but it is time you heard the rest of her story.

    Bathsheba, a Mother to Model This Mother’s Day I have chosen someone very different to speak on. In fact, in my research I have not found anyone who has ever chosen to use Bathsheba as an example for Mother’s Day, for some reason we are able to grant David forgiveness and restoration, but ...read more

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Jun 2, 2010
    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,706 views

    In the Gospel Lesson for this sermon, it’s a bit hard to tell who the real Blind Beggar is. Is it Bartimaeus or is it the disciples or the rest of the crowd?

    Mark 10:46-52 “Will the Real Blind Beggar please Stand Up” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN There’s an old t-v show called To Tell the Truth where contestants are challenged to figure out which of three or four persons are the Real ...read more

    The Ache For Meaning

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 29, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 175 views

    Every human ache for meaning is the soul remembering its Maker—God’s embrace disguised as longing, inviting us home to relationship and rest

    (When the Soul Remembers God) It began with a phone call. My oldest son’s voice was steady at first, then it trembled. He’s forty-one now—bright, competent, a systems manager for a defense company, respected by his peers. On paper, everything about his life says success. Yet that afternoon, ...read more

     | 497 views

    You don’t have to earn God’s love—He gives it freely by grace. Stop striving, and rest in the gift of His love.

    ### **I. Introduction: The Lie We Believe** Video Ill.: Sermon Bumper 1 The world is full of lies. And sadly, many times the lies of the world are believed and become our truth.

    God’s everlasting love transforms mortal believers into ever-loving saints who rest in Christ now and rise with Him at His coming

    INTRODUCTION — THE QUESTIONS LOVE ASKS It’s not the loudest questions that stay with us. It’s the quiet ones — the ones whispered by an empty chair, a photograph, or a fading voice. Questions like: Where are they now? Do they see us? Are they watching? Is death the end — or a pause between ...read more

     | 412 views

    As we journey through life, we can rest in the assurance that we have a God who will never allow the enemy to triumph over us.

    SUPERNATURAL ESCAPE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 124:6-8 "Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

    But Simeon’s song is sung in fulfillment—the song of a man who waited, watched, and finally whispered, “Lord, now I can rest.”

    Living Between Prayer And Promise

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 8, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 214 views

    Live faithfully between prayer and promise—trust God’s future, obey His present reign, and rest in hope until Christ returns.

    Most of our lives are not lived at the beginning of a story or at the end of one. They are lived somewhere in the middle — in that long, unfinished stretch where things are still forming, still unresolved, still waiting to make sense. We live between what has already been spoken and what has not ...read more

    God’s Love Is For Giving: A Confessional Sermon On John 3:16

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 136 views

    John 3:16 reveals a love that gives before we act, inviting weary believers to stop striving, receive grace, and rest in God.

    Have you ever wondered why you don’t often hear sermons preached on John 3:16? I don’t mean references to it. I don’t mean quoting it in passing. I mean a full sermon—sitting with it, staying with it, letting it speak. At first, that sounds strange. Because John 3:16 is everywhere. Many of us ...read more

    My Schedule Is A Hot Mess Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 643 views

    The main idea is to find time to rest, spend time with God, and give God control of our schedules to bring order to our chaotic lives.

    Remember how God created the world in six days and then chilled on the seventh? He wasn't wiped out, but He wanted to show us that taking a break is important. So, we gotta find time to chill too. It's not just about catching some Z's, but also about taking a day to do something cool or just relax. ...read more

     | 101 views

    True stability and rest are found by knowing God through Jesus, the Bread of Life, who anchors us when life feels uncertain and overwhelming.

    Some weeks feel like riding a rickety elevator: you’re not sure what floor you’ll land on, you just hope the doors open and you can step out standing. The headlines howl, the inbox fills, the calendar crowds. You try to smile, but your soul sighs. Have you felt that lately? Have you wondered, ...read more

    God invites our weary, honest selves to find true rest in His presence, offering comfort and strength for every burden we carry.

    There’s a hush that comes when a roomful of tired hearts hears a kind voice. I believe that’s what this moment can be—a hush for hurried souls, a pause for people who have given their best and still feel thin, a holy breath for those who woke up weary. Some of us are carrying backpacks no one else ...read more
