    It's A Wonderful Life Series

    Contributed by Stephen Sheane on Dec 17, 2019
     | 3,848 views

    A world without Jesus would be a world without forgiveness, a world without a future and a world without faithful Jesus followers.

    IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE It’s a Wonderful Life is one of my favorite movies of all time. The movie, directed by Frank Capra and starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed, came out in 1946. It is the story of a man named George Bailey, a man who gave up his dreams in order to help others. After his ...read more

    Shift, Part 2: Shift Your Attitude Series

     | 5,351 views

    A popular song once said its changes in latitudes that result in changes in attitudes. On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus showed his disciples exactly what that means.

    Good morning! Please open your Bibles to John 13, as we continue our series called SHIFT. We are talking this month about areas in our personal lives as well as the life of our church where we might need to experience some shifts. Last week we talked about the need for our church to shift out of ...read more

    Jesus Delivers His Church

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 28, 2021
     | 4,037 views

    In his church, the Lord Jesus is still doing the good work that He has begun, and He is doing it unstoppably.

    Beloved in Christ, I’d be worried if the church was a human effort. If it was up to us alone to defend the church, maintain her unity, or increase her numbers, we’d have reason to be concerned. For the church would certainly follow the path of so many man-made clubs and societies—for a while strong ...read more

    A Passion For Purity Series

     | 3,211 views

    Is it possible that we have concentrated on the outside of people (behavior modification) and we have really missed the point of Jesus’ words, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God?”

    The Jesus Manifesto – A Passion for Purity Matthew 5:8; Psalm 24 Pastor Jefferson M. Williams Chenoa Baptist Church 8-26-18 Your Tree Exploded When we decided to move to Pontiac nearly twenty years ago, Maxine came up with her mother to look for houses.

    Belief in Jesus is quite reasonable for He provided proof by His death, burial, and resurrection.

    M16: SIGNS IN THE SKY Matthew 16:1-4 #m16sermons INTRODUCTION… childrensmn.org/educationmaterials/parents/article/7562 [adapted] Old wives' tales are perhaps as old as language itself.

    Be on guard when you worship God by drawing near to revere Him.

    Keeping Your Vows Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 Rev. Brian Bill August 24-25, 2024 Many years ago, Beth and I attended a large church in another community. On that particular day, as a way to celebrate the start of summer, a number of members came running on to the platform holding beach balls which they ...read more

    Faith That Worships Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 31, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 264 views

    When life feels confusing and God’s ways seem hidden, faith learns to stop demanding answers and instead bows in reverent worship—trusting God’s sovereign power, choosing joy before deliverance, and resting in Him alone as its strength.

    Living by Faith When Life Doesn’t Make Sense Faith that Worships Habakkuk 3:1-3:19 Last week we left the prophet Habakkuk standing watch upon the city wall—listening as the Lord answered his second complaint. God had already responded to Habakkuk’s first cry by revealing a difficult and ...read more

    God Of Proofs And Testimonies PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 28, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 103 views

    God uses our small offerings, given in faith and compassion, to meet the needs of others and multiply blessings beyond what we imagine.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that took a lot of effort. Bills stare back, bodies ache, and a stack of needs feels taller than our energy. Maybe you’re a parent counting pennies at the grocery store, a grandparent worrying over a prodigal, or a student standing at the edge of a new season ...read more

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 29, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 280 views

    God’s power is greater than our problems; prayer and obedience invite hope and restoration even when circumstances seem impossible or overwhelming.

    Some weeks feel like a siege, don’t they? The walls close in. The headlines howl. The bills glare. Your energy ebbs and your faith feels small. You stand at a window and you wonder, “How is this going to work?” If that’s you today, you’re in familiar, biblical company. Jeremiah knew about closed ...read more

    Christ meets us in our weakness, supplying strength and love so we can persevere, serve others, and experience true courage in everyday life.

    Some of us walked in with smiles; some of us walked in with sighs. Schedules feel heavy. Headlines howl. Bills pile, plates spin, and sleep sneaks away. You’ve tried to be strong for your people, and the strength ran thin. You’ve tried to be brave for your heart, and the courage felt small. If ...read more

    God’s promises are fulfilled not by our strength or timing, but by His faithfulness, even when hope seems impossible and waiting feels endless.

    Good morning, friends. If your heart has ever ached in the waiting room of life—if you’ve watched calendars turn while prayers felt unanswered, if you’ve listened to the echo of your own questions and wondered whether God still remembers your name—then you are in good company today.

    Trust God to provide for your needs, focus on His Kingdom above all else, and find peace in His faithful care despite financial uncertainty.

    Some of us walked in today with a calculator in our pocket and a knot in our stomach. The paycheck was thin, the pantry looks tired, and the math refuses to cooperate. You’ve pinched pennies, stretched spaghetti, checked the account twice, and still you wonder, Will there be enough? Have you ever ...read more

    based on 249 ratings
     | 56,766 views

    Easter often seems to be more about “Cadbury Bunnies, and new clothes” The events surrounding an itinerant teacher from Bethlehem are buried somehow by many in the celebration of spring and Easter dinners. Does the resurrection of Jesus really matter?

    West Greeley Baptist Church March 31st 2002 “Does the resurrection of Jesus really matter?” 1st Corinthians 15:16-20 Pastor Mark Hensley 16For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your ...read more

    The disciples ask Him, "Lord teach us to pray". This sermon teaches us how to pray based on the principles Jesus taught His disciples.

    Have you ever thought about your prayer life? Have you ever examined it and wished that you could be better at communicating with God? Have you ever just felt like there were times when your prayers were just hitting the ceiling and bouncing right back down? I wonder if you¡¦ve ever stopped to ...read more
