    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 9, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 101 views

    When fear and challenges overwhelm, our greatest response is to seek God in prayer, trusting Him to fight our battles and bring peace.

    Maybe you woke up this morning with a knot in your stomach and a question in your heart: How am I going to face this? The email you didn’t want to read, the bill you didn’t expect to pay, the diagnosis you didn’t see coming—the giants line up like shadows at sunset, long and looming. Your courage ...read more

    Abiding in Christ transforms our weariness into fruitful living, as we rest in His love, receive His care, and reflect His life to others.

    Church family, welcome. If your soul feels like a branch after a long summer—tired, tangled, and thirsty—listen in. The Lord is kind, and His words today carry the weight of mercy. He talks to us in pictures we can feel between our fingers: vines and branches, sap and seasons, blossoms and baskets ...read more

     | 79 views

    This sermon urges us to quiet life’s noise, discern truth from deception, and pursue purity and integrity in our homes and hearts through God’s guidance.

    If you’ve ever stood in a room where a dozen radios are on at once, you know the feeling of fatigue that follows. Voices everywhere. Opinions everywhere. Promises that sound pleasant but leave you empty. Maybe your week has felt that way. Maybe your home has heard more noise than nourishment, more ...read more

     | 79 views

    God meets us in our questions and ordinary moments, inviting us to respond in faith, obedience, and public confession through Jesus Christ.

    Some of the most beautiful moments in Scripture happen on ordinary roads. Dust on the sandals. Sun on the horizon. A heart with honest questions. That’s where we meet a man in a chariot and a disciple named Philip. And that’s where so many of us live these days—somewhere between questions and ...read more

     | 120 views

    God meets us in every pain with real comfort, inviting us to receive his presence and share that comfort with others in their suffering.

    There are weeks when our hearts feel thin. We sit at kitchen tables and stare at cold coffee. We stand in hospital halls and count ceiling tiles. We scroll through old texts, listening for a voice that no longer answers. Grief sits quietly in the corner like an unwelcome guest. Worry hums like an ...read more

    God invites ordinary people to partner with Him, building lives of lasting significance through faithful service, rooted in Christ and empowered by His presence.

    Some mornings I picture the Father handing us a hard hat and a pair of work gloves, smiling as if to say, “Come with Me. Let’s build something beautiful.” Can you see it? The sun coming up over a field that’s waiting for seed, a foundation ready for bricks, and God inviting ordinary people—people ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 128 views

    When life falls apart, faith refuses to panic, seeks God’s strength and guidance, and trusts Him to restore what’s been lost.

    Some days smell like smoke. The kind of day when you pull into the driveway and something feels off. The porch light is on, but peace is off. The phone rings, the doctor calls, the boss texts, the door closes—and your heart drops. The room looks the same, but everything has changed. Ashes in the ...read more

     | 163 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

    based on 3 ratings
     | 68 views

    The sermon urges us to surrender judgment, embrace mercy, and let God transform our critical spirit into kindness and grace toward others.

    Some of us carried a quiet critic into church today. He rode in the car with us, sat beside us during worship, and has opinions about everything from traffic to the tempo of the first song. He’s subtle—civil even—but he speaks in sighs, shrugs, and silent scores. We know his voice: the whisper that ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 74 views

    The sermon emphasizes embracing God’s forgiveness so deeply that it transforms us into people who freely extend mercy and forgiveness to others in everyday life.

    Some of us walked in today with invisible suitcases—stuffed with memories we’d rather forget, words we wish we could unsay, and wounds we struggle to understand. We smile, we sing, we shake hands. Meanwhile, there are names that tighten our chest and moments that make our stomach drop. You’re not ...read more

     | 102 views

    Gratitude and praise, even in ordinary or difficult moments, enrich life and draw us closer to God, making worship a daily, heartfelt practice.

    Some mornings the world wakes humming. A sparrow announces the sun before it peeks over the rooftops. Coffee warms your hands while the quiet of the house rests on your shoulders like a soft shawl. On other mornings, the forecast in your heart feels gray. Bills, doctor visits, deadlines. The melody ...read more

     | 95 views

    The sermon encourages vigilance and reliance on Christ’s love and strength to withstand spiritual adversity, reminding us we are never alone or unloved.

    1 Peter 5:8 (ESV): "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." Friends, pull your chair up to the table of God’s Word and take a deep breath. The world is loud, and some days the noise sounds like a growl you can’t quite ...read more

     | 59 views

    This sermon urges believers to move beyond empty words to genuine, costly obedience, allowing God to rekindle authentic faith and wholehearted devotion in their lives.

    Welcome, dear friends. I’m so glad you’re here. Some of us walked in this morning with hearts blazing hot; others with barely a flicker. If faith were a fireplace, some of us are warming our hands, and others are cupping the last little coal, begging it to glow again. Life can be like that. A long ...read more

     | 69 views

    God sees and values our hearts over outward appearances, choosing and loving the overlooked and ordinary to accomplish extraordinary purposes through His grace.

    Maybe you walked in today carrying the sting of being overlooked. You’ve watched others get the nod, the promotion, the platform, while you’ve kept the sheep, cleaned the messes, showed up in quiet faithfulness where no one was clapping. If that’s you, take heart. Our God loves to surprise us. He ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 70 views

    God’s grace is a free gift we cannot earn; through faith, we receive His love and acceptance, not by our efforts but by His mercy.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts like clenched fists—trying to hold it all together, trying to square the accounts with God, trying to make sense of a week that wore us thin. We wonder if grace has a limit, if mercy has a meter, if love has a ledger. We keep a mental checklist: pray more, try ...read more
