    Have You Forgotten Your Maker? PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 6, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 128 views

    The sermon urges us to turn from self-reliance and busyness, remembering that our true purpose and security are found in knowing and seeking God Himself.

    Friends, I’m glad you’re here. Life runs fast, doesn’t it? The calendar fills, the inbox swells, the deadlines line up like dominoes. We build our days with bricks of busyness—palaces of productivity, towers of tasks, fortresses of to-do lists. And yet, there comes that quiet hour when the house ...read more

    When Satan Tries To Stop You, Keep Following Jesus PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 18, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 208 views

    Following Jesus means surrendering our comfort and control, embracing self-denial, and trusting that true life and reward are found in obedient discipleship with Him.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a storm in our chest. The calendar is crowded, the heart is heavy, and the questions are louder than ever. You’ve been faithful, you’ve prayed, you’ve pressed on—and still, there are days when following Jesus feels like walking uphill with a ...read more

    Trust God’s presence and providence when facing hostility or fear, relying on His protection and grace instead of reacting with anger or self-defense.

    Some of us walked in today weary, worried, and worn. You’ve been dodging spears you never asked for—sharp words at work, quiet tensions at home, old wounds that seem to whisper fresh threats. It feels like you’re playing the harp in Saul’s palace—trying to bring calm—while a javelin sits poised in ...read more

     | 203 views

    True peace and acceptance come not from self-righteousness, but from humble, honest confession and receiving God’s mercy through Jesus Christ.

    Some of us came in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Calendars are crammed, minds are noisy, and hearts carry the kind of weariness you can’t quite name. You’ve been faithful, you’ve been trying, and you’re hoping heaven hears. Others of us slipped in quietly, feeling a little out of place, ...read more

    True acceptance with God comes not from self-righteousness or performance, but from humble, honest confession and receiving His mercy through Jesus Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with weary hearts and distracted minds. The week has been loud. Deadlines and dishes, headlines and heartaches—so many voices bidding for your attention. But in the quiet place where you talk to God, what matters most? How do you come to Him? With polished phrases and ...read more

    Many people blindly follow their GPS and have no clue as to whether or not they are on the right road. Many self professing "Christians" are traveling the "broad way" and think they belong to Jesus, yet they missed the narrow road of true salvation.

    God’s Positioning System or GPS. Our current Sermon Series. First, a few weeks ago, we asked the question: "Do you know where you are?" Do we know your location? Not your position on Earth, but in relationship to God? After Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God came walking through the ...read more

    Can we identify CANNIBALISM with the family. Where seldom is heard an encouraging word? We must understand how important encouragement and edification really can be.

    The only parts of the Bible we believe are the parts we DO. As we read God's word with humility and awe (and a willingness to obey) we are transformed.

    Kathleen Norris tells the story of a South Dakota rancher and his bride who received a leather-bound Bible as a wedding gift from the groom’s grandfather. They wrote a thank-you note and stowed the Bible away on a closet shelf, out of the way. As time passed, the grandfather repeatedly ...read more

    The focus is once again all on God. Heart change can only come from the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives. One of the images in the Bible to describe this change is the image of re-birth – the old dies and something completely new is born in its pla

    The Hebrew’s were slaves under the hand of a hard task-master. Mankind is slaves to sin and it certainly is a hard task-master. No mercy, no ease, no release. However, God, by a strong hand has delivered us from the bondage of sin. We are not brick makers
