Sermons on Trust:

What If?

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Mar 25, 2017

Its only when we take ourselves and the word if out of the equation and trust God to do the impossible. The story concludes with not a question of if, but the fact that David answered and stepped out of if, into faith! Are you willing to do the same?

What if? Illus. From sermon central A certain king needed a faithful servant and had to choose between two candidates for the office. He took both at fixed wages and told them to fill a basket with water from a nearby well, saying that he would come in the evening to inspect their work. After ...read more

Signs Of Christ's Coming Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Aug 20, 2021

As Jesus’ coming approaches, escape the wrath to come by trusting Jesus with your life, ignore those who say Jesus has already come, look for the signs, and know He is coming soon, perhaps even in your lifetime.

Several years ago, in the winter (2009), Chicago experienced heavy snowfalls. A man and his wife had over a foot of snow piled up on the roof of their two-story home. Then they had a thaw. One evening when he returned home from work, he noticed that a thick sheet of ice and snow was hanging over ...read more

As The Deer Pants

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 1, 2021

God was David's sole source of life and encouragement. David had to have a pep-talk with his soul in order to trust in the Lord & not lean on his understanding. He became thankful in spite of his circumstances.

AS THE DEER PANTS Psalm 42 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: DON’T YOU LOVE MODERN TECHNOLOGY? 1. Have you ever sent a text to someone and it came out very different – usually because spellcheck rewrites it. 2.

The Eagle Life Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

All who trust in Jesus Christ as Savior have a great adventure in flight in the future. God expects us to be preparing now for this adventure in the heights by living an exalted life, or, as our text suggests, and eagle like life.

Flight is not only for the birds, it is for the believers as well. Pilots and astronauts do not have exclusive rights on soaring into the heavens. The Negro Spiritual says, I got wings, you got wings, All O God's children got wings. When I get up to heab'n I'm going to put on my ...read more

Getting To Know God - Part 1 - Who Are You, Lord? Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 17, 2019

Often when a brand new Christian is born they know very little about the God in whom they have placed their trust for eternity. What can we find out about God in the encounter Moses had with a Burning Bush?

Getting To Know God – Part 1 Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … John 14:23-24 “Jesus said, ‘If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching.

God Loves A Cheerful Giver

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 18, 2021

The “tithe” is not our money; it’s God’s. When we refuse to trust the church in handling the tithe, and feel that we know the best use for it, then this is contempt for God and His Spirit, and we are treading on dangerous ground!

I remember when my wife and I first got married that she would tell me stories about the Christian camp she attended as a child, because camp meant so much to her growing up. One of the songs they sang at camp was called, “God Loves a Cheerful Giver,” which was about Ananias and Sapphira; and I ...read more

Confident That We Are His!

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Aug 26, 2018

Through Jesus Christ we approach God with confidence, trusting 100% in His merits and righteousness and none of our own. Jesus reveals the Father heart of God to us, and we're called to pursue God in holiness and love.

August 26, 2018 Sermon - 1 John 5:13-21 - “Confident That We are His!”. For much of my adolescence and young adulthood I struggled with how I felt about myself, with confidence. Or should I say a lack of confidence. I thought I just didn’t measure up, didn’t have much to offer, barely warranted ...read more

Divine Resources For Life's Difficulties

Contributed by Luther Sexton on Feb 24, 2019

This psalm encourages us to hope and trust in God, and His power, and providence, and gracious presence with his church in the worst of times, and directs us to give him the glory of what he has done for us and what he will do.

Contributed by Troy Luttrell on Jan 13, 2014

This is a series through the book of Colossians. A letter of Paul to encouraging the church to take a stand on one key truth, Christ is all we need to put our faith, trust, and hope in. He is enough, there is no room for any gospel.

On The Wings Of Eagles Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Sep 1, 2013

We need reminders to wait on God, to hope in Him. When we do, our strength will be renewed. By our own resources we will never achieve satisfaction or serenity. Trust in God produces confident expectations and a meaningful life.

In a Peanuts cartoon, Charlie Brown has a moment of reflection after losing a baseball game: “When I am down and out, I lift up my head and shout, ‘I’M DOWN AND OUT’!” People without God, who see life as a cosmic accident, have no Higher Power when life hurts. W ...read more

Looking For Leftovers Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 29, 2014

Can God supply all your needs? The Disciples struggled with that idea... and so do many of us. Why do we have such a hard time trusting God in this and how can we learn to believe Him more?

OPEN: I once read the true story of a family that was sitting down at the dinner table for their evening meal. But one of the girls wasn’t happy because they were having leftovers, and she complained about it. The dad was not happy about that and spent a few moments explaining to her ...read more

The Day Of The Lord

Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 29, 2013

The Day of the Lord is coming, but if our faith is in Christ, we will escape the wrath of God that will be poured out at that time. In the meantime, we are called to trust Him, live out our faith, encourage one another, and invite people to Jesus.

The Day of the Lord 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor ...read more
