    Any Questions? PRO Sermon

     | 91 views

    Jesus invites us to bring our deepest, honest desires to Him in prayer, trusting His compassion and power to transform our lives.

    If you could hear Jesus ask you one question today—face to face, heart to heart—what would you hope He’d ask? And if He asked, “What do you want me to do for you?” what would rise to your lips before you could filter it—before fear, pride, or past disappointments edited your answer? Some of us ...read more

     | 266 views

    True acceptance with God comes not from self-righteousness or comparison, but from humble confession and receiving the mercy and love found in Jesus Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a scoreboard in our heart. You know the scoreboard I mean—the quiet tally of how we’re doing compared to others, the inner itch to be seen as enough, the nervous need to be noticed and approved. We measure our worth by the week we had, the ...read more

    Committing To Our Mission PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 151 views

    God calls us to see our everyday places and relationships as mission fields, inviting us to share His love and presence wherever we are.

    If we could sit across a kitchen table together this morning, coffee steaming, hearts open, I’d ask you a gentle question: Where did Jesus meet you this week? In a car line with cranky kiddos? In a conference call that felt like it would never end? At a mailbox where the bill looked bigger than the ...read more

    Life Is Like A Tapestry PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 83 views

    Following Jesus means trusting Him through every joy and trial, knowing He leads us, shapes us, and walks with us every step of the way.

    Some days feel like a string of small skirmishes—spilled coffee on the way out the door, a terse email that stings, headlines that weigh heavy. Other days carry a deeper ache—an empty chair at the table, a diagnosis you didn’t see coming, a door closed that you prayed would open. In moments like ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 137 views

    God calls and equips ordinary people to serve and minister, emphasizing surrendered hearts over methods, so that every believer actively participates in Christ’s mission.

    Some of you walked in today with a song on your lips and a smile in your eyes. Others arrived with a sigh, carrying calendars that feel too full and hearts that feel a bit thin. God sees you. He knows the names on your to-do list and the needs you don’t know how to name. And into this ordinary ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 355 views

    God works through ordinary courage, presence, and compassion, weaving deliverance and hope even in our most fragile and uncertain moments.

    Some stories slip into our souls like a lullaby. Exodus 2 is one of them. We can almost hear the hush of a mother’s whisper, see the ripple of the Nile, feel the tremble of a sister’s hope. A woven basket, a watchful girl, and a princess with tear-touched eyes—God pens redemption with reeds and ...read more

     | 143 views

    This sermon urges believers to choose love over judgment, removing obstacles for others and fostering a gentle, supportive community that reflects Christ’s kindness.

    Friends, welcome. Take a breath. Let your shoulders drop a bit. I don’t know what you carried in today—opinions that feel heavy, tensions that won’t unwind, or that low ache that comes from wishing people saw things your way. Church can feel like a crowded dinner table where everyone brings a ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 139 views

    God moves powerfully when His people worship, fast, and pray together, listening for the Spirit’s direction and responding with obedient, unified action.

    Some of the greatest moves of God begin in the most ordinary rooms. A small circle of friends. A whispered hymn. A hunger that words can’t quite describe. Picture it: believers, shoulder to shoulder, hearts steady and still, waiting in worship. No spotlight, no stagecraft—just saints who want the ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 138 views

    God brings peace and order to our lives and church, inviting us to trust His presence and follow His clear, simple guidance with settled hearts.

    If you walked in today with a heart that feels hurried, with thoughts that scatter like leaves in a gust of wind, you’re in good company. Life has a way of turning up the volume. Deadlines stack up. Conversations get clipped. Sleep runs thin. And then Sunday comes, and we find ourselves in the ...read more

     | 252 views

    Jesus personally seeks and transforms the overlooked, offering immediate grace and acceptance that leads to genuine change and restored identity through His love.

    Some of us walked in today feeling unseen, unheard, and maybe even unwanted. We’ve smiled for others, but inside there’s a quiet ache that keeps asking, “Does God notice me?” Picture dusty Jericho streets and a short man with a tall stack of regrets. A tree-climbing tax collector—pockets full, ...read more

     | 146 views

    Trusting God with our decisions brings peace and guidance; through prayer and seeking His wisdom, He shapes our lives and directs our paths.

    Most of us know the look of a crowded calendar and a crowded heart. The inbox pings, the bills stack, the decisions loom. We stand at the crossroads and try to make sense of the map, squinting at arrows and options. Have you felt that pull—wanting to do the right thing, yet unsure which door to ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 261 views

    God welcomes honest, humble prayers from needy hearts; true prayer is not performance, but sincere confession that receives mercy and transforms us by His grace.

    If your heart is tired and your prayers feel thin, you’re in the right place. The Lord welcomes real people with real needs and real words. He is not looking for polish; He is listening for honesty. He is not impressed by our resumes; He is moved by our repentance. We’ve all had those moments—hands ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 124 views

    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. Abraham and ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 147 views

    Trusting God at life’s uncertain crossings requires both faith and obedience, as He calls us to step forward and follow Him into the unknown.

    Have you ever stood at the edge of something new—heart thumping, hands trembling—wondering how you’ll make it across? Maybe it’s a decision you can’t delay, a diagnosis you didn’t ask for, a door you’re afraid to open, or a river of unknowns that seems swollen and wild. You can hear it rush; you ...read more

     | 99 views

    God draws near to us in our loneliness, offering peace and hope by pouring His love into our hearts through Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

    Some nights feel longer than others. The house is quiet, the phone is still, and the ache of an empty chair at the table can sound like thunder in the soul. Bills stack up, worries pile high, and even in a crowded room it’s easy to feel hidden in plain sight. We smile for photos, but the heart can ...read more
