    Psalm 11: The Righteous Lord Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 23, 2018
     | 12,573 views

    David was often in danger, whether in the court of Saul (1 Sam. 9:1), in the wilderness being chased by Saul (1 Sam. 18:11; 19:10), or during the rebellion of Absalom.

    February 25, 2014 Tom Lowe Psalm 11 Title: The Righteous Lord To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Psalm 11 (KJV) 1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? 2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, ...read more

    1. Believe that God is reaching out to you. 2. Believe that God has given the rarest gift for you. 3. Believe that God paid the highest ransom for you. 4. Believe that God will give the greatest rescue to you.

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,648 views

    The focus on this sermon is the contrast between storing up treasures in heaven vs storing up treasures on earth and the shaping influence each has on a person's heart.

    We are going through the series called Learning to Live Like Jesus. The series is focused on the extended passage of Jesus known as the Sermon on the Mount. It basically is contained in three chapters in the book of Matthew, 5, 6, and 7. We have gone through chapter 5 where Jesus gave us a ...read more

    But what happens when this life is all over? Does it make any difference how you lived or what you did for the love of Christ? Do we have any responsibility to please God?

    2 CORINTHIANS 5:6-10 [GAINING PERSPECTIVE Series] A CHRISTIAN VIEW OF DEATH [Romans 14:8-10; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15] Paul is full of confidence toward life, death, and the hereafter (vv. 6, 8) because God has provided believers with the Holy Spirit as a guarantee that we will receive ...read more

     | 2,999 views

    During this sermon, please listen to how Zachariah and Mary responded to the angel Gabriel and ask yourself, how should I respond to Christ’s birth so that I might honor Him rightly on His birthday?

    Responding to a Christmas Miracle Luke 1:26-38 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 It is almost Christmas time again!

    Thyatira — When Faithfulness Is Subverted Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 31, 2026
     | 126 views

    Thyatira warns that faithfulness can be redirected when tolerance replaces discernment and Christ’s authority is quietly shared with other voices.

    By the time we arrive at Thyatira, something has already changed in us. Ephesus taught us that love can cool without rebellion. Smyrna taught us that faithfulness can be costly without being fragile. Pergamum taught us that proximity to power can quietly rearrange loyalty. So when we come to ...read more

    Anchored In The Lord PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 25, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 135 views

    Trusting God’s care frees us from worry, as He values and provides for us even more faithfully than He does for the birds and fields.

    If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m., rehearsing the what-ifs and worst-case scenarios, you’re not alone. The mind races, the heart paces, and the shadows in the room grow longer with every anxious thought. Worry has a way of tightening its grip—white-knuckled, breath-shortening, ...read more

    A Servant Worthy Of Double Honor PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 2, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 249 views

    The sermon emphasizes honoring and appreciating faithful church leaders, especially those who teach and shepherd, recognizing their unseen sacrifices and vital role in the church’s health.

    There’s a kind of quiet hero God keeps tucking into churches. You don’t always see their names in lights. You may not even notice their names at all. But you feel their fingerprints in the fabric of the family—when the doors are open early and the lights are on; when a casserole shows up at a ...read more

    Serve Others, Serve Christ PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 9, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 193 views

    True greatness is found in serving others with everyday acts of kindness, recognizing and loving Jesus in the overlooked and ordinary people around us.

    Some of the most breathtaking moments with Jesus arrive in ordinary clothes. A paper cup of water handed to a weary worker. A brown-bag sandwich shared on a bench. A text sent at midnight that says, “I’m here.” He has a way of walking into our Mondays and Market Streets, our waiting rooms and ...read more

    God’s constant presence offers true guidance, lasting joy, and unshakable hope, inviting us to trust Him fully no matter our circumstances or uncertainties.

    Friend, pull up a chair and take a breath. Your week may have been packed with appointments, alerts, and anxieties. Maybe your heart carries a quiet ache that doesn’t clock out at night. Perhaps you’re standing at a crossroads, scanning the horizon for a sign. We all long for a path that doesn’t ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 110 views

    We are called to shine Christ’s light through everyday acts of kindness and presence, bringing hope and God’s love to those around us.

    There are evenings when the sky looks like God tossed diamonds across black velvet. You step outside, breathe deep, and remember that the world is bigger than your worries. Streetlights glow. Porch lights flicker. A candle on a kitchen table warms a whole room. And into this very world—our ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 155 views

    God’s grace gives us hope for the future, assurance of His love, and purpose for today as we wait expectantly for Christ’s return.

    Welcome, friends. If you walked in today with your shoulders a little slumped, your steps a little slow, take heart. God has a way of meeting us in the middle of our Mondays. He brings hope to hurried schedules and comfort to cluttered hearts. He knows the doctor’s call you didn’t want, the bill ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 158 views

    Whole-life worship means daily surrendering ourselves to God, allowing His grace to transform our minds, relationships, and service into a living offering.

    Family, can we pause for a holy breath? The kind you take when the noise quiets, the to-do list loosens its grip, and you remember that God really is as kind as Jesus says He is. Sometimes the holiest moments don’t happen on mountaintops but in kitchens and cubicles, minivans and meetings. Paul’s ...read more

    This sermon encourages steadfast hope in God’s promises, trusting Him through unseen and uncertain times, and patiently waiting for His faithful fulfillment.

    Friends, take a deep breath. If your week has felt like a thousand tiny cuts—emails unanswered, hopes on hold, prayers that feel like whispers in a windstorm—you are not alone. Hope can feel thin on Thursday afternoons and threadbare by Saturday night. Yet right here, in the everyday ache and the ...read more

     | 965 views

    In today’s world, lines are being drawn everywhere. Red vs. blue. Conservative vs. liberal. Rich vs. poor. This group vs. that group. Everybody seems to be picking sides—and everybody wants God to be on their side.

    In America...It’s become a political reflex… At the end of speeches...Debates... And press conferences… To close with three familiar words… "God bless America."... Whether Republican…Or Democrat…Conservative… Or liberal…They all say it.... Not because they’re always living by God's ...read more
