The Winds Of Change

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 23, 2019

The natural winds of the Earth are a type and shadow of the various facets of God moving in the supernatural realm. The direction of the natural winds represents spiritual seasons and movements of the Holy Spirit on earth, including the storms of life.

Sermon 9 - The Place Of Torment Series

Contributed by David Owens on Aug 4, 2025

Hell is just as real as heaven. The biblical images of heaven and hell are designed to convince us that we will want to go to heaven and won't want to go to hell. The good news is that no one has to go to hell because God has provided a way of escape and His name is Jesus.

Lord, I'm Not Okay, But I'm Still Here PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 3, 2025

God invites our weary, honest selves to find true rest in His presence, offering comfort and strength for every burden we carry.

There’s a hush that comes when a roomful of tired hearts hears a kind voice. I believe that’s what this moment can be—a hush for hurried souls, a pause for people who have given their best and still feel thin, a holy breath for those who woke up weary.

Jesus lovingly exposes our self-sufficiency, invites us to deeper dependence on Him, and offers restoration, hope, and true riches for our lukewarm hearts.

Some of us walked in today with a smile for the foyer and a sigh for the soul. Bills on the counter, deadlines on the calendar, questions on the heart.

How David Overcame Fear PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 31, 2025

Trusting God in the midst of fear means refusing to panic, anchoring ourselves in His Word, and passing courage to others through faith.

If fear had a face, many of us could sketch it from memory. It’s the 2 a.m. visitor, the whisperer of what-ifs, the tightness in the chest that shows up when the phone rings, the inbox pings, or the doctor clears his throat. Fear creeps into bedrooms, boardrooms, and back pews. It visits ...read more

Wonderfully Made PRO Sermon

You are intentionally created by God, uniquely valued, and your life has purpose and dignity that reflect His love and glory.

Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache behind the smile. You know the one—the ache that wonders, Do I matter? Does my life count? Have I been seen, heard, known? We carry comparisons like heavy coats in summer. We replay old comments, old failures, old fears, and they whisper their worn-out ...read more
