    Sermon on the qualities that make a dynamic church that people will want to be part of.

    TITLE: What Makes a Great Church, part 1 TEXT: Acts 2:42 THEME: Church growth. Health, evangelise P.S. Rick Warren states, and I agree, that the key issue for churches in the 21st Century will be church health, not growth. Because when a congregation is healthy it will grow.

    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

     | 145 views

    When God rises in our lives through prayer, fear and troubles scatter, and His presence brings peace, joy, and hope to our hearts.

    Some mornings feel heavier than others, don’t they? The alarm sounds, the headlines scream, the to-do list grows, and your heart whispers, “Lord, I could use some help here.” You’re not asking for fireworks. You’re asking for a Father. You’re asking for a God who stands up in the storm and says, ...read more

    God sees our weariness, meets us in our weakness, and renews our strength as we trust and wait on Him, never forgotten or alone.

    Friend, if you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m. and whispered, “Lord, did You see that? Do You know how tired I am?”—you are in good company today. If your heart feels heavy, your hands feel weak, and your hope feels thin, you are exactly where Isaiah 40 meets you. This passage is a warm ...read more

    Two Dogs Inside Of Us

    Contributed by Gary Christensen on Mar 15, 2016
     | 11,060 views

    What's wrong with me? I want to serve God, but, instead, I sin! I want to Live in the Spirit, but, instead, I'm still living in The Power of my Flesh! Maybe it's because i have Two Dogs living inside of me! The story of the two dogs. (Our Two Natures)

    Shortly after I first became a Christian, I was told of this story of The Two Dogs, and it made a lot of sense. It helped me to understand why I was, the way that I was, and it helped me to understand what I needed to do, to be better than I had been. Every believer has a Dual Nature. ...read more

    God lovingly exchanges our sorrow and heaviness for joy and praise, transforming our brokenness into strength through His nearness and kindness in prayer.

    If your week has felt heavy, if your heart has carried more sighs than songs, you are in the right place. You didn’t stumble in here by accident. The God who sees you also speaks to you, and His voice carries comfort that steadies the soul. He has a word for the weary and a lift for the lowly. He ...read more

    God promises healing, hope, and restoration to those who fear Him, calling us to renewed faith, obedience, and wholehearted devotion amid life’s challenges.

    Friends, some mornings feel like the sky forgot to wake up. The headlines are heavy, our homes can be hurried, and our hearts carry more than they let on. Yet right in the pages of Scripture, God promises a sunrise. Not just any sunrise, but the “Sun of righteousness” with healing in His wings. Can ...read more

    A harvest sermon that uses harvest imagary in relation to the Christian life. (some ideas taken from other Sermon Central sermons.)

    Hope A Harvest is the result of many things - it is the result of hard work - it is the result of good weather and careful care by the Farmer or gardener. But underlying all of these things is hope. Without hope there would never be a harvest. In the Christian world too there is of course a ...read more

    Prune Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,565 views

    God, as the divine gardener, prunes away unhealthy and unfruitful areas of our lives to promote growth and fruitfulness. Embracing this process, though sometimes painful, leads to a deeper relationship with God and spiritual growth.

    Today we're going to talk about pruning. You know how a gardener trims a plant to help it grow better? Well, God does that with us too. He helps us grow by cutting away the stuff in our lives that's holding us back. Our main Scripture for today is John 15:1-5. Object Lesson: Bring in a small potted ...read more
