Worship Is Feasting On God PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 8, 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

Providence - God's Ongoing Work

Contributed by Todd Catteau on Feb 22, 2022

Is God active in the world or a passive observer? The doctrine of Providence claims he is the former - the creator who is still sustaining the world and working in it to bring about his purposes. This sermon explores the ways He is active and the peace providence gives us.

Transformed Or Deformed

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 17, 2007

God expects us to be transformed into the image of Christ. To refuse to do this we remain deformed in the image of the world.

We were used to having our dog in bed with us, and the addition of Kevin added little to the problem. Before too long, Kevin preferred to sleep in the big bed with Mom ...read more

The Supremacy Of The Son Of God.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Nov 7, 2024

What do Christians believe about the world? Really it’s quite simple: We believe that the universe is God’s world. God created it, He made humans in his image, He called his creation good, He gave us the ability to choose, and He actively holds the universe together.

The Supremacy Of The Son Of God. Colossians 1.15-23 Is life nothing more than a roulette wheel?

Human Church Signs

Contributed by Brian Atwood on Apr 17, 2001

What the lives of individual followers of Christ are saying about Christ and the church to the world around them.

Recently we were thinking about getting a new church sign. The old one doesn’t communicate well. It’s not only out of date, it just doesn’t stand out. The impression it makes doesn’t create curiosity and interest in our church to passers by. Made me think about our lives as believers in Christ. ...read more

The Secret To Inner Peace Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 28, 2025

The world thinks that if they could just change their circumstances, they could avoid stress and worry... and could have the peace they crave. But Jesus said that won't work. In this world we are guaranteed to have trouble. But Jesus promises us a peace that the world cannot give.

This is the last in our sermon series - entitled “One Thing”. We’ve been focusing on ONE WORD in Scripture that sums up a basic Bible truth, and today’s word is PEACE. Jesus said “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be ...read more
