    The Resurrection Of The Body

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Sep 10, 2023
     | 3,149 views

    If there is no resurrection, then the crucifixion of Christ didn’t achieve anything for us, and we are still in our sins but there is a resurrection, not only for Christ but also for us as well.

    The Resurrection of the Body By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - A Doctor, a Nurse, and a Preacher have a conversation. Sounds almost like the start of a joke but this is no joking matter. A Dr, a Nurse, and a Preacher have a conversation about what happens after a person dies. The Dr. ...read more

    How To Live A Prosperous Life PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 121 views

    True prosperity begins with a thriving soul, shaping our health, stewardship, and prayers as we seek God’s presence and live with integrity and generosity.

    Friends, there’s a line in one of the smallest letters in the Bible that feels like a cup of cold water on a hot day. It’s just a sentence, but it sounds like the kind of blessing you’d hear from a dear friend across a porch swing or see scribbled at the bottom of a postcard. John calls us ...read more

    The Word Gives Life PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 185 views

    Jesus’ promise gives present assurance of eternal life, freeing us from guilt and fear, and inviting us to trust fully in His finished work.

    Some words rearrange a room, don’t they? A doctor says, “It’s benign,” and shoulders drop. A coach calls your name, and you run to the field. A judge declares, “You’re free to go,” and the hallway home seems shorter. Words can wrap around us like a warm blanket on a windy night. And then there are ...read more

     | 122 views

    The sermon invites us to slow down, release control, and find peace by trusting God’s presence and sovereignty amid life’s noise and anxiety.

    Friends, some weeks feel like living in a wind tunnel. The headlines howl. The phone hums. The calendar crowds. Even our prayers can sound like hurried headlines—fast, faint, fragmented. And yet, in the middle of the noise, God offers a chair in a quiet corner, a deep breath for a weary chest, a ...read more

    How David Overcame Fear PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 77 views

    Trusting God in the midst of fear means refusing to panic, anchoring ourselves in His Word, and passing courage to others through faith.

    If fear had a face, many of us could sketch it from memory. It’s the 2 a.m. visitor, the whisperer of what-ifs, the tightness in the chest that shows up when the phone rings, the inbox pings, or the doctor clears his throat. Fear creeps into bedrooms, boardrooms, and back pews. It visits ...read more

    Sometimes things do not look as they really are. Christ did not look like a King when He stood before Pilate and that was Pilate’s downfall.

    Get Ready For Some Hard Times GNLCC 11/27/2005 Daniel 12:1-4 Matthew 24:3-25 Revelations 13:1-18 People like to know the future. They are fascinated with the prophecies of Nostradomous.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 95 views

    True faith is shown by serving others with love in everyday life, trusting that God values our simple acts of kindness and compassion.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a storm in our chest. Others came in with questions that kept us up last night. We wonder, Do I measure up? Is God tired of me stumbling? Can simple, ordinary me really please a holy God? Friend, take a deep breath. Your Father is not frowning ...read more

     | 144 views

    When we feel exhausted and overwhelmed, God invites us to trust Him, wait on Him, and receive renewed strength for each day.

    Some of us walked in today with a quiet question humming beneath the surface: How much longer can I keep this up? The calendar is crowded, the to-do list grows fangs, and sleep feels like a stranger. Parents, professionals, students, caregivers—such faithful folks—yet even you can feel thin at the ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 122 views

    The sermon encourages embracing God’s timing, resting from roles when needed, prioritizing presence and relationships, and trusting prayer to shape our lives and seasons.

    There’s a rhythm stitched into the world by the hand of God. The tide rolls in and slips out. Winter gives way to spring. Babies cry, grandparents smile, and somewhere in between we learn how to hold on and how to let go. Seasons change. And if we’re honest, our souls feel it—the gentle tug that ...read more

     | 164 views

    Gratitude opens our hearts to God’s presence, transforming ordinary moments and burdens into opportunities for praise, hope, and deeper relationship with Him.

    Some of us walked in today with full hearts; some with heavy ones. Either way, here you are, and here God is—nearer than the breath you just took. Picture an old, sturdy gate swinging open. Hear the hinges creak a welcome. On the other side? Not a cold courtyard, but the warm smile of a Father who ...read more

    Things we should do while we are waiting for the Lord’s Return.

    While You Are Waiting… I Thessalonians 4:13-18 This past week I read about a first-grade teacher who was having a difficult day. It had rained that entire day and the children couldn’t go out for recess, so they got more and more restless and hyperactive as the day wore on. The teacher couldn’t ...read more

    God Wants You To Know!

     | 5,274 views

    While many poeple may feel uncertain of what will happen to them when their life comes to an end, God wants us to know exactly what to expect. These words from 1 Thessalonians bring confidence and comfort to the Christian in the face of death.

    “I don’t know.” Those can be some of the most difficult words for us to say. To say, “I don’t know” is to admit that we don’t have all the answers. And we like to have answers because it makes us feel more in control, more secure, more prepared. That’s probably one of the reasons that doctors ...read more

    He Lifts Me Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025

    God’s mercy lifts us from resentment into freedom; forgiveness is not forgetting the wrong—it’s releasing it to the One who heals

    1 — The Wound That Wouldn’t Heal It’s me, O Lord, standing in the need of prayer. That’s how this message begins—not with triumph but with honesty. Because forgiveness never starts from strength; it starts from brokenness. Maybe you know that kind of breaking. Someone walked away, someone lied, ...read more

     | 177 views

    God’s grace empowers joyful generosity, enabling believers to give willingly and abundantly, even in hardship, as an expression of trust and partnership in God’s work.

    Friends, welcome. Some of us walked in today with a full heart and a thin wallet. Others with a strong budget and a weary soul. God sees both. And right in the middle of our ordinary lives—with bills to pay, kids to raise, parents to care for, and newsfeeds that rattle the nerves—God offers a grace ...read more
