Rapture PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 28, 2025

The sermon encourages believers to find hope, comfort, and motivation for faithful living in the promised return of Jesus and the assurance of eternal reunion.

Some promises hush a room. “I’m on my way,” is one of them. The Lord Jesus has said it. And the homesick hearts of God’s people have been listening ever since. We ache for that trumpet, we long for that shout, we yearn for that reunion where grief will be gone and goodbyes will be history. Does ...read more

Sermon # 37 - Excuses People Give Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 27, 2024

Jonah has some lame excuses for why he did not want to obey God and preach to the city of Nineveh. There are many others in the bible who gave excuses and the question is “Are we also giving excuses?” or “Are we fulfilling the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus and leading others into His kingdom?”

We read in Jonah 4:2, “And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.” ...read more

What Makes A Great Mother

Contributed by Matt Skiles on Jun 12, 2023

Giving birth does not make a woman a mother. It takes a special woman to be a mother. A mother is a person who is willing to take the responsibility of investing her life into another human being who is totally de-pendent upon her to do so:

Proverbs 31:29-30-“Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all.” 30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
