    Sent, Separated Servants Series

     | 5,488 views

    Paul reveals that Jesus wants all His followers to be like Paul - sent, separated servants.

    As is probably true for many of you, the book of Romans has long been one of my favorites. Yet in nearly 25 years of ministry, I have never undertaken the task of preaching through what is certainly the greatest exposition of what it means to live as a follower of Jesus in the entire Bible. I think ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 146 views

    This sermon calls us to identify and renounce generational idols, embracing wholehearted devotion to God so that His freedom and love transform our families.

    Friends, every family has a box in the attic—old photos, faded letters, a quilt stitched by steady hands. Alongside those treasures come other hand-me-downs we don’t frame or display: patterns, pressures, and quiet preferences that keep tugging at our hearts. Maybe your household treasured hard ...read more

     | 178 views

    Through Christ’s finished work, believers receive victory over sin and struggle—not by their own strength, but by trusting in God’s love and grace.

    Some days the world feels like a bully with a bigger backpack. The bills stack up, the headlines grow heavier, and our hearts carry aches we never signed up for. You try to pray, and words get stuck behind a lump in your throat. You sit in church with a polite smile, but your soul wonders, Is ...read more

    The Power And Importance Of Intercessory Prayer PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 116 views

    God seeks ordinary people willing to pray and stand in the gap, using their faithfulness to bring hope, healing, and change to a broken world.

    Some of the greatest moments in the Bible begin with God looking for a person. Not a celebrity. Not a committee. A person. A shepherd with a sling. A teenage girl with a “yes.” A fisherman with a net. Heaven leans over the balcony and asks, “Who will stand? Who will say yes? Who will carry My heart ...read more

    Make It Make Sense

    Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on Oct 16, 2025
     | 2,315 views

    Pause and reflect on the hand of God in your life. When God allows something to bend a certain way, no human effort can straighten it out, unless He wills it. It may not make sense to us, but it may sense to God.

    Ecclesiastes 7:13 (NIV) Consider what God has done: Who can straighten what He has made crooked? Look at somebody and tell them, Neighbor, I’m trying to make it make sense. Look down your row at somebody else and say, but sometimes it just doesn’t make sense. Because if we’re honest today, ...read more

    Building Godly Character

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 1, 2025
     | 407 views

    Our culture often tells us to avoid suffering at any cost, to seek pleasure and ease above all else. Paul declares with the authority of heavenly insight that suffering is not without purpose. In God's kingdom, character is currency.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: There is a story told among the Cherokee Indians… One evening an old Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, ...read more

    The Hope That Holds Us Series

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Nov 26, 2025
     | 281 views

    The first candle of Advent is the Candle of Hope—a small flame that speaks into the long darkness of a weary world. Hope does not deny reality; it defies it. It does not ignore the brokenness around us; it simply believes God is greater than the brokenness.

    Title: The Hope That Holds Us Text: We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.” — Psalm 33:20 The first candle of Advent is the Candle of Hope—a small flame that speaks into the long darkness of a weary world.
