Trouble In The World PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Nov 2, 2023

This sermon explores the inevitability of anxiety and trouble, emphasizing our choice in response and God's ultimate control and provision of healing.

Hey there, family! So glad you could join us today. We're about to get into something that I reckon a lot of us have been wrestling with lately. It's this idea of trouble in the world, worry in our hearts, and God's control over all. You know, it's funny, I was reading a book by Max Lucado the ...read more

Joy To The World

Contributed by Brad Bailey on Aug 6, 2004

In the Christmas season we should take time to realize the fullness of why Christ came to earth.

This morning, before we finish our gathering together and head into this final week before Christmas, we will have an opportunity to declare in song that marvelous refrain…“Joy to the World, the Lord has come let earth receive her King.” For there is a joy, a deep, divine joy that beckons our ...read more

John's World

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jun 15, 2015

Was John only the apostle of love, or also the prophet of judgment? Was he "free will" as in John 3:16, or "predestination" as in John 6:37. To ask these things about him is really to ask them about the One he quoted. Jesus does not fit into our boxes...

John’s World… Did John contradict John in regards to the doctrines of grace? Whose side was he on, after all? It wasn’t just Paul! There’s a real opposition in the evangelical church to what they call “Calvinism”, but what Spurgeon called “Bible.” ...read more

Joy To The World

Contributed by Marc Phillips on Dec 18, 2015

We should carry our Joy in everything we do. Our joy is a gift of the Holy Spirit and when we are less than joyful we are squashing that spirit. Joy to the World is not just for Christmas, but for all year long!

Scripture is shared from the NASB... We just sang Joy to the World as a praise song, and I think we did a pretty good job of it. I’d like to try this exercise together if you would indulge me for a moment. Let’s sing that first verse again, only let’s do it with a scowl or a ...read more

Overcoming The World

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Dec 5, 2021

If you have faith in Christ, you already have every resource to be an overcomer. God doesn’t allow us to surrender to worldly pressure or to hide ourselves away. But He says that in Christ we can conquer and gain the victory. Who is it that will overcome and persevere? Only the one who believes!

What we do today isn’t very exciting. For we’re just a small church in a big world. We’re reading an old book, and we’re talking about an old story. Yet a Christian has been given different eyes, and we look at things in a different way. Beneath the surface, God helps us to see things as they ...read more

Overcoming The World Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Aug 1, 2022

Christ said He overcame the world. We have been charged with the same purpose. But how do we do it?

I think I was seven or eight years old when my mother became concerned enough about the lack of a church background for my younger sister and I that she began to take us to church. We drove 20 minutes to the nearest Presbyterian Church and on one of those first Sundays I found myself in a large ...read more
