    Will You Give Him Thanks? PRO Sermon

     | 235 views

    Gratitude transforms our lives; when we return to thank Jesus for His mercy, we experience deeper wholeness and the richness only gratitude can bring.

    Some of the most powerful moments in Scripture begin with a simple cry for help. Think about it: a whisper becomes a waterfall, a sigh becomes a song. When weary people raise faint voices to heaven, heaven hears. In Luke 17, ten tired men lifted ten shaky prayers. They were outcasts, pushed to the ...read more

     | 128 views

    Following Jesus means trusting Him through every joy and trial, knowing He leads us, shapes us, and walks with us every step of the way.

    Some days feel like a string of small skirmishes—spilled coffee on the way out the door, a terse email that stings, headlines that weigh heavy. Other days carry a deeper ache—an empty chair at the table, a diagnosis you didn’t see coming, a door closed that you prayed would open. In moments like ...read more

    Mother And Daughter Relationship PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 395 views

    God works through ordinary courage, presence, and compassion, weaving deliverance and hope even in our most fragile and uncertain moments.

    Some stories slip into our souls like a lullaby. Exodus 2 is one of them. We can almost hear the hush of a mother’s whisper, see the ripple of the Nile, feel the tremble of a sister’s hope. A woven basket, a watchful girl, and a princess with tear-touched eyes—God pens redemption with reeds and ...read more

    Confusion In The Church PRO Sermon

     | 203 views

    God brings peace and order to our lives and church, inviting us to trust His presence and follow His clear, simple guidance with settled hearts.

    If you walked in today with a heart that feels hurried, with thoughts that scatter like leaves in a gust of wind, you’re in good company. Life has a way of turning up the volume. Deadlines stack up. Conversations get clipped. Sleep runs thin. And then Sunday comes, and we find ourselves in the ...read more

     | 151 views

    Trusting God’s timing in every season, we learn to wait with faith, knowing He is present and working even when we cannot see it.

    Some of us came in today with calendars covered in scribbles and hearts heavy with questions. The clock keeps ticking, but the answer seems late. A prayer hangs in the air. A door stays shut. A dream feels shelved. We know God is good, we sing that God is faithful, yet our watches rarely match His ...read more

    Fixing our thoughts on Christlike virtues transforms our minds and actions, inviting God’s peace to dwell with us in everyday life.

    Friends, can we slow down for a moment? What’s been swirling in your thoughts today? The ache of a deadline? The ping of a notification that didn’t bring the news you hoped for? The reel of what-ifs that wears you thin? If your mind feels like a treadmill that won’t stop, you’re in good company. ...read more

    Trusting God with opposition frees us from control and revenge, inviting us to pray honestly and rest in His faithful care amid conflict and criticism.

    Some weeks feel like a parade of prickly people and pricklier problems. A stray comment stings. A coworker corners you with criticism. The group text lights up with misunderstandings, and your heart feels like a drumline—pounding, pounding, pounding. Have you ever replayed a conversation until your ...read more

    Cults Series

     | 3,450 views

    Cults can trick almost anyone into believing their deadly garbage. Unless an individual pays close attention to what a valid version of the Bible says and means, it is easy for a person to be led down the devil's primrose path.

    Cults Right now, as you read the title of this essay, you may be saying to yourself, “Well, I would never fall for that stuff.” Beware, cults can trick almost anyone into believing their deadly garbage.

    Biblical advice on how to handle marital disagreements.

    I have a question for you: What in this world does more damage to people than anything else? Drugs? War? Disease? I think the answer is…our words. We all remember the childhood saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me.” But that’s not true. Words do hurt; ...read more

    In that final day, when the net filled with men’s souls, is pulled to Heaven’s shore, let me be a "keeper".

    LORD LET ME BE A KEEPER! Matthew 13:47-51, "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

    This sermon compares false and true wisdom.

    Turn with me to James 3. Read James 3:13-18. James starts this passage off with a penetrating question, “Who is wise and understanding among you?” A lot of people claim to be wise and understanding. He is calling for us to examine our motives and ourselves. He calls those who think they are ...read more

    This is about keeping our walk fresh.

    Turn with me to James chapter 1. Read James 1:17-27. James was a most practical writer, and here we see his practicality shine through. We see some the basic ideas of the walk. The Christian life has often been called a walk. You can tell a lot about a person by their walk. Someone who is ...read more

    Jesus compares his Father to a Landlord in Luke 20, and in this study we learn that the Lord is a perfectly patient Landlord, as well as a thoroughly just Landlord.

    Lent 5 Luke 20:9-19 His name was Gerry Niebler. I got to know his name very well because I sent him a bunch of checks in the amount of $550. Gerry was a nice guy, I met him a few times, but I didn’t send him money just because he was pleasant and friendly person. And I didn’t give Gerry money ...read more
