     | 106 views

    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

     | 156 views

    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

    God Of Proofs And Testimonies PRO Sermon

     | 81 views

    God uses our small offerings, given in faith and compassion, to meet the needs of others and multiply blessings beyond what we imagine.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that took a lot of effort. Bills stare back, bodies ache, and a stack of needs feels taller than our energy. Maybe you’re a parent counting pennies at the grocery store, a grandparent worrying over a prodigal, or a student standing at the edge of a new season ...read more

    Do You See Me? PRO Sermon

     | 77 views

    God’s approval, not others’ opinions, defines our worth; even when those closest doubt us, Jesus understands and affirms our value through the cross.

    Some of the hardest headwinds we face often blow from our own back porch. It’s funny how life works: strangers may applaud you, acquaintances may admire you, but the folks who know your middle name and saw your backyard mistakes can struggle to see God’s handiwork in you. They remember the messy ...read more

    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. Some of us are carrying backpacks no one else ...read more

     | 101 views

    Jesus calls every believer to courageous, surrendered living—trusting His authority, presence, and purpose—as we share His love and message in our everyday lives.

    Some of us came in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Some with questions that keep us awake. Some with a to-do list longer than a river. And yet, here we are, gathered under the gentle reign of the risen Christ, the One who meets us in our Mondays and our midnights. He knows the names on your ...read more

    Loving The People Right Around You PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 76 views

    The sermon urges us to love God wholeheartedly and express that love through everyday acts of kindness and care for those around us.

    Some words from Jesus land in the heart like a familiar melody. They hum along in the background while you’re packing lunches, paying bills, or waiting at a red light. They are simple enough for a child to recite and strong enough to hold up a life. Mark 12:30-31 is like that. It meets us at the ...read more

    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

    The Good Shepherd PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 145 views

    Persistent prayer matters because God hears, cares, and responds in His perfect timing, inviting us to trust Him even when answers seem delayed.

    Some prayers are born in bright rooms with balloons and birthday cake. Others are born at 2:13 a.m., when the house is quiet, the questions are loud, and the pillow is wet. Some prayers feel like sprinting—fast, full of faith. Others feel like limping—slow, sore, and short on strength. If you’ve ...read more

     | 104 views

    True gratitude transforms us—recognizing God’s mercy in our lives leads to deeper healing, richer faith, and a life made whole by thankfulness.

    Some of us walked in today with smiles that fit like borrowed shoes. They look fine, but they don’t feel right. Hearts a little hurried. Souls a bit sore. We know the ache of unanswered prayers and the sting of feeling unseen. If that’s you, your pew has your name on it, and your Shepherd has your ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 88 views

    True Christian living finds its meaning and endurance in love; without love, our actions and gifts are empty, but with it, everything gains lasting value.

    Good morning, friends. If you came in today weary, worried, or worn thin, you’re not alone. Some of us have been carrying more than we care to admit—unanswered questions, unspoken hurts, unfinished to-do lists. We try harder, run faster, give more, and still wonder: Why do I feel empty? Why does my ...read more

    God Sees Our Hearts PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 11, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 106 views

    God calls us to honest, wholehearted integrity—living openly before Him and others—because true freedom and joy are found in sincerity, not in appearances.

    Some passages ease into our living rooms like an old friend, and some step onto the front porch and ring the bell with urgency. Acts 5 is one of those moments. It invites us to sit still, to listen closely, and to remember that God cares about what we hold in our hands and what we hide in our ...read more

     | 103 views

    God renews our strength when we are weary; waiting on Him in prayer brings hope, endurance, and the power to rise above life’s burdens.

    If your soul has been sighing lately, you’re in good company. The headlines rumble, the calendar’s crowded, the phone keeps pinging, and somewhere between Monday morning and midnight worries, strength leaks and hope limps. You’ve prayed for healing and still hurt. You’ve asked for clarity and still ...read more

     | 82 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

     | 133 views

    The sermon calls us to embody Christ’s selfless love in everyday actions, making His love visible through unity, humility, forgiveness, and patient care for one another.

    Good morning, dear friends. If your week felt hurried and your heart feels thin, you’re in the right place. Take a breath. Set your shoulders down. Imagine the Savior kneeling with a towel at His waist, looking into the eyes of people who would soon scatter, and speaking a command as tender as it ...read more
