Songs For The Road: Music For Tired Feet

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 30, 2025

What if the pressure you feel isn’t because you’re failing—but because you’re trying to prove something you already are?

Introduction I want to begin this morning with words that many of us recognize—not because they are complicated, but because they are honest. They weren’t written to impress anyone. They weren’t written to explain theology. They were written to be carried. I’m but a stranger here, Heaven is my ...read more

Selling Out To God Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 20, 2021

Jesus's Parable of Hidden Treasure teaches all-out commitment to the kingdom of God. Christianity is not a little add-on to our busy, selfish life. It is a call to something so valuable that we would give up everything else to have it.

Last week we began a message entitled “Valuing the Valuable.” That teaching led us to the Parable of the Treasure in Matthew 13:44. That is our text for today. There Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes ...read more

A Messenger From God Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Oct 11, 2021

Why should anyone pay attention to Paul's letter to the Romans? Paul answers these questions decisively with regard to who He was, who Jesus uniquely was declared to be, and the grace God has provided to all men who will believe in HIm

As many of you know, I came to saving faith in Christ as an older teenager, and I began reading my Bible regularly, even then. One evening my dad poked his head into the room while I was reading my Bible. Now my dad was a rank pagan, but he said something interesting. He said, “Someday, I’m ...read more

If you’ve ever felt hemmed in—pressure in front of you, problems behind you, and panic rising inside you—you’re in familiar company. The people of God have been there.

Faithful, unseen service and prayer in everyday life have eternal significance, as God values and uses every act of obedience for His lasting purposes.

Some of us come in today with calloused hands and tired hearts.

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 27, 2025

The sermon urges believers to courageously and openly share their faith in Jesus, trusting His strength, even when it feels difficult or uncomfortable.

There’s a hush that can fall over a room when the name of Jesus is mentioned. Have you felt it? In a breakroom, at a family table, on a sideline—your heart lifts to speak and then, suddenly, your mouth feels dry. You care for the people around you. You don’t want to cause friction. You wonder if ...read more

Friends, gather your hearts and breathe in this grace-soaked moment. Jesus tells a story that sounds like the evening wind moving through vines—soft at first, then strong enough to stir us awake.

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 29, 2025

God’s grace makes us new, freeing us from the past and calling us to live with hope, purpose, and worship in Christ.

Some of us walked in today with a pocket full of yesterdays. Regrets that still ring. Promises we meant to keep. Prayers that feel unanswered. You can almost hear the echo of the past in your soul.

Worship Is Feasting On God PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 9, 2025

True satisfaction and joyful obedience are found only in knowing God and delighting in His presence, rather than seeking fulfillment in the world’s empty offerings.

If we could sit together around a kitchen table, you’d notice the warmth of the oven and the smell of fresh bread. Plates set, cups full, chairs pulled close. That’s the picture in my mind when I think of what God offers His people: a table where the hungry are welcomed, where the thirsty are ...read more
