    Sardis: When Faithfulness Is Assumed Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Feb 2, 2026
     | 49 views

    Sardis warns that faith can survive in name and form while losing responsiveness, calling believers to awaken and listen again.

    By the time we arrive at Sardis, something subtle has happened to us. Ephesus taught us that love can cool without rebellion. Smyrna taught us that faithfulness can be costly without being fragile. Pergamum taught us that proximity to power can quietly rearrange loyalty. Thyatira taught us that ...read more

    Growing Pains PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 97 views

    God uses our pain and trials not to harm us, but to grow our hope, maturity, and fruitfulness for His greater purpose.

    Friend, I’m glad you’re here. Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache that doesn’t let go. The diagnosis was unexpected. The stack of bills looks tall. The silence in the house feels louder than it used to. Life can sting. Yet God meets us right in the middle of the mess and whispers a word ...read more

    Taking Hold Of The Promise PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 139 views

    God invites us to courageously step into His promises, trusting His faithfulness and love, rather than hesitating in fear or doubt.

    Have you ever stood on a threshold with your hand on the knob, heart racing, knowing there’s goodness inside but still hesitating to step in? Maybe it’s a fresh calling, a new season, a second chance. Maybe it’s peace after a long storm, or hope after a hard night. God brings us to thresholds. He ...read more

    Weariness PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 28, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 100 views

    Faithful, unseen acts of kindness matter deeply to God; persist in doing good, trusting that your efforts will bear fruit in His perfect timing.

    Some days feel like a long string of unnoticed kindness. A parent packing lunches after a long shift. A nurse offering a smile under a mask. A teacher giving one more call to a student who’s fallen behind. A caregiver who holds a trembling hand at midnight. Seeds of goodness go into the soil, and ...read more

     | 138 views

    God uses prayer and waiting to prepare us for new beginnings, inviting us to trust His timing and embrace the fresh work He is doing.

    Some mornings feel like the air itself is holding its breath. You can sense that change is near, like the hush before a symphony begins or the split second before a seed splits and sends up a tender green shoot. If you’ve been waiting, watching, and wondering, you’re in good company. The God who ...read more

    Live each day in a way that reflects the gospel, showing unity, courage, and Christlike character in every aspect of ordinary life.

    Friends, grace to you. Some weeks feel like a blur of keys, calendars, and carpool lines. We know the drill: the alarm rings, the coffee brews, the inbox fills, and our souls whisper, “Lord, make this count.” In the hum of everyday life—school runs and staff meetings, grocery aisles and garage ...read more

    The Lord Who Leads Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 20, 2003
    based on 50 ratings
     | 67,637 views

    Since this psalm is so familiar, we’re in danger of missing the depth of its meaning. And, because it’s setting is in the world of sheep and shepherds, many of us city slickers can slide right past its richness.

    The Lord Who Leads Most everyone has heard of Psalm 23. It’s a poem with no peer and has been called the sweetest song ever sung. Abraham Lincoln read it to cure his blues, and President Bush proclaimed it publicly to calm our nation’s fears after 9-11. I read these words out loud a week ago ...read more

    Answers the questions: What does the Holy Spirit do? Is there an unpardonable sin?

    *ILL>In 1954, Theodore Seuss Giesel (known to most of us as simply "Dr. Seuss") wrote his first children’s poem, Horton Hears A Who, in which Horton, an elephant, on the 15th of May in the Jungle of Nool, hears a small speck of dust talking to him. It turns out the speck of dust is actually a tiny ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 13,542 views

    One of the most extraordinary people found in the Old Testament is Job. Job gives us a great example to follow when we find ourselves in the midst of great adversity.

    Today, I’m beginning a series of lessons from the book of Job. If you have ever gone through anguish and pain of a sudden and tragic loss you may know something of which this book of Job speaks. Job1:1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he ...read more

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020
     | 5,069 views

    Looking at some people's past, they should have never produced a Joseph. In our society, most people with Joseph's backgrounds are killers, jail birds, drunks, addicts, etc. But God’s Destiny on your life can be fulfilled even in the midst of thorns.

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 17, 2021
     | 4,057 views

    Whatever the Christians were going through in Smyrna … whatever we are going through in our lives right now … Jesus not only knows what we are going through, He’s experienced it Himself.

    Imagine having to hide to do what we’re doing right now because if we get caught, we would be arrested and tortured and made to renounce our faith publicly … or be executed. That was the situation and daily reality for the little church in the beautiful city of Smyrna. Smyrna is located 35 ...read more

    Daniel dared not to defile himself with the appetite of the world.

    How would you like to be Daniel? Approximately at the age of sixteen he was taken captive (vs.4) and sent off to live in Babylon, a place that was foreign to work of God and to be amongst a people that was anti-God in their living. The world we live in is tuned to the likes of Babylon … a place ...read more
