Sermons on Season Of Joy:

A New Song Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

God is infinite, and therefore, only infinite creativity is worthy of Him, and adequate to glorify His name. It is also essential to keep joy alive in the worshipper. Variety is the spice of life, and a new song is like a tonic that lifts and enables us to feel afresh the love that is always there.

It is easy for us to do what the psalmist urges us to do, "Sing to the Lord a new song." The number of new songs to sing today is enormous. Back in 1891 Dr. Julian in his famous Dictionary of Hymnology examined four hundred thousand hymns, and he did not cover them all. There are, ...read more

Turing Trials Into Triumphs Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jun 7, 2021

The first subject that James addresses in his letter is how to face our trials. His suggestion is shocking: we should welcome our trials with joy. But his reason for the suggestion makes sense when you understand things from God's perspective.

A. In Max Lucado’s book, In The Eye Of The Storm, he tells a story about a parakeet named Chippie. 1.

A Rapture Viewpoint - More Perspective Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 17, 2023

I think it is sad that many Christians do not understand the Rapture or have not been taught it, or reject it. It is the blessed hope held to tenaciously by the early Church. There is a joy in knowing the Lord will soon take me (His Church/Bride) home when He comes.

A RAPTURE VIEWPOINT - MORE PERSPECTIVE THE LORD WILL NOT CALL HIS CHURCH TO HEAVEN Not really. He will not call from heaven and the saints go home. He opens the door in heaven according to Revelation 4:1 and there is a cry, “Come up here!” It is one of the joys of scripture when we compare ...read more

Why Easter Egg Hunts Should Be Held In Graveyards Series

A lot of grumpy bunkem occurs in outraged articles in the press about how our country isn't like what is was in the "good ol' Christian days" - but these grumpy ol' codgers have forgotten the truth and joy of the Easter message!

What stories have you seen about Easter in the news? {take any suggestions} Two jumped out at me - and both of them were about Easter Eggs.

All Because Of His Grace Series

Contributed by Saumiman Saud on Jun 9, 2025

We often easily say, “All because of His grace,” when we experience good things. But what about when we face difficulties? The Bible teaches us to remain thankful and acknowledge God’s grace in every situation, both in joy and sorrow:

ALL BECAUSE OF HIS GRACE Several Bible verses affirm that everything is because of God’s grace, including: Romans 3:24: “And all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:8-9: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this ...read more

Sermon: Valuing, Praying, And Appreciating People Around Us By Pst. Joseph Ondu

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Nov 10, 2025

Remember that everyone in your life has a reason and a purpose, whether they bring joy or challenge. Value them, pray for them, and appreciate them. By doing this, we not only grow in our faith, but we also reflect the love and grace of Christ to the world around us.

Not Ashamed To Bear His Name - 1 Peter 4:16 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Feb 13, 2026

There was a time when calling yourself a Christian carried social respectability. Today, it carries suspicion, mockery, or quiet marginalisation. In universities, in offices, online spaces, and sometimes even within families, the name of Christ can bring misunderstanding or rejection.

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 20, 2026

Where is God when prayers go unanswered and suffering remains? This sermon walks through Job 23 to reveal what God is doing when He seems absent.

House Of Mourning Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 8, 2003
