No matter how weary or uncertain we feel at year’s end, Christ’s presence and strength sustain us and give hope for every day ahead.
Some of us count the days on the calendar with a sigh. Others count with a smile. Many of us do both. The year has been a quilt of bright patches and frayed threads—birthdays and funerals, milestones and setbacks, answered prayers and unanswered questions. The days have left their marks. Your ...read more
Scripture: Philippians 4:13
Topics: End Program, Church
God meets us in our lowest places, lifts us with His grace, and restores us with lovingkindness, inviting us to live in grateful trust.
Have you ever felt like life lowered you into a pit and then took the ladder away? The walls are slick with worry, the floor is sticky with regret, and every echo from the past seems louder than hope. David knew that feeling. He wrote like a man who had mud on his boots and a song in his mouth. In ...read more
Scripture: Psalm 103:4
Topics: Goodness, Mercy
God’s mercy through Christ’s resurrection gives us living hope, transforming our weariness and shame into courage, renewal, and confident expectation for the future.
There are mornings when hope feels like a whisper in the wind—soft, steady, surprising. You wake up with a to-do list longer than your energy and a heart that wonders, Will anything change? Then you catch a memory of God’s kindness—a prayer answered when you had no words left, a friend’s hand in ...read more
Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3
Topics: Transformation, New Life
Gratitude transforms us when we respond to Jesus’ mercy with obedience and thanksgiving, drawing us closer to God and shaping our hearts through prayer.
Some of us walked in today with weary hearts, carrying questions that don’t quiet down when the lights go out. Have you ever felt like those lepers in Scripture—near enough to hear hope, far enough to feel invisible? Maybe you’ve been standing “afar off,” waiting for a word, wondering if God still ...read more
Scripture: Luke 17:11-19
Topics: Repentance, Transformation, Restoration
God gives us a new identity in Christ, freeing us from old labels and shame, and calling us beloved, forgiven, and truly new.
There’s a name tag on the table for every one of us. Maybe it’s not paper and ink, maybe it’s old memories and new mistakes, report cards and résumés, whispers and headlines. Labels stick. Some feel like tattoos. Others like Post-its that refuse to peel away. Have you noticed how fast the world ...read more
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17
Topics: Identity, Relationship, Jesus
The sermon calls believers to courageous, costly obedience, trusting God’s sovereignty even when outcomes are uncertain, inspired by Esther’s example of sacrificial faith.
There’s a holy hush that falls over a room when courage walks in. Not the loud kind that shouts to be seen, but the quiet courage that prays in whispers and stands when knees are weak. We know this courage. We’ve asked for it in hospital hallways. We’ve reached for it at midnight when the house is ...read more
Scripture: Esther 4:16
Topics: Perseverance, Faith
The sermon urges us to personally confess Jesus as the Christ, surrendering all to Him, and finding true life and identity in wholehearted allegiance to Him.
There are questions that settle the soul. They steady the heart in a world of headlines and hurry. One question rises above the noise like a bell in a storm. Jesus asks it with gentle authority and unshakable kindness: “Who do you say that I am?” We carry many names on our backs—titles, labels, ...read more
Scripture: Luke 9:18-20
Topics: Discipleship, Commitment
A gentle spirit gives the world a taste of the presence of Jesus. As we become as gentle as Jesus, we will treat others like He does.
Germinating Gentleness Rev. Brian Bill 7/29/01 Pastors are not always known for their gentleness because many of us talk too long or preach too loud. On the other hand, people are not always real gentle with pastors either. I heard about a minister who received a note from an ...read more

Jesus is the answer to temptation.
Introduction Turn please to the book of James. You will remember that we’re preaching through the book of James—a very practical book—we call it religion in shoe leather, that is the book of James, very practical religion. Hmm, or religion in street clothes. And, today we want ...read more

The Parable of the Sower Matthew 13:1-8, 18-23 Pastor Steve Dow June 30, 2002 Introduction As we look around the church in North America these days we quickly discover that few professing Christians are really living productive spiritual lives. Every where we look we find people who have been ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 13:1-23, Mark 4:1-9
God is working to get our attention. Sometimes He uses alarm bells when we must respond immediately. Sometimes He uses alarm clocks to focus us on our daily disciplines. What is best, however, is the inner body clock, the inner drive to be a Kingdom pe
The greatest challenge any speaker has is to gain and to hold the attention of his audience. Speech teachers tell us that if we are going to practice anything, practice both the opening and the ending of a speech. That may be all that anyone remembers. So how does a speaker gain and ...read more

A case study in clinical depression and what God did to bring healing to Elijah.
OPEN: Psychiatry students were in their college class one day when their professor began a discussion to prove a point. "What we’re going to talk about today," the professor said, "are the emotional extremes that many mentally disturbed people go through… for example “What’s the opposite of joy?" ...read more

Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:8-12
Denomination: Methodist
Will we be the church as Jesus desires us to be? The husband and wife relationship pictures the mysterious relationship between Christ and His church. He will make us a NURTURING CHURCH as we are passionately in love with Him.
We are all saddened to learn this week of the death of one of our church’s most valuable members, Someone Else. Someone’s passing created a vacancy that will be difficult to fill. Else has been with us for many years, and for every one of those years, Someone did far more than a normal person’s ...read more
Scripture: Ephesians 5:21-32, Revelation 2:1-4
Denomination: Assembly Of God
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
