Sermons on Trust:

A Turning Point In The Ministry Of Jesus

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 2, 2016

When we set out with Jesus, we can hardly begin to understand what paths He might lead us down to get to our destination. It is not always what we think, but we must implicitly trust Him.

A TURNING POINT IN THE MINISTRY OF JESUS. Luke 9:51-62. “When the days were being fulfilled for the receiving up of Jesus, He set his face like a flint to go to Jerusalem” (LUKE 9:51). There is a sense of divine destiny about this statement, yet what does it mean? At first we are reminded of ...read more

Let There Be Space ... Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jan 9, 2023

We must be careful to not let the facts of creation become overcomplicated. God's word can be trusted just as much in the creation account as it can that He has given us a redeemer (Jesus) to rescue us from sin!

Alpha and Omega, Part 2 “Let there be space …” Genesis 1:6-8 Introduction - We’ve begun the year with “one purpose”: Knowing there is a God! -- Just as a building requires a builder, a creation must have a Creator - There is an irrational logic trying to prove something happened from ...read more

Jesus is the seed of Abraham through whom God wants to bless the world and YOU! So if you want to find God’s blessing this Christmas, find it in Him! Don’t try harder. Just trust Jesus with your life.

Seed of Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3) The Grinch hated Christmas, so he carried out a diabolical scheme to steal it away from all the Who’s in Whoville. He dressed up like Santa Clause, put fake antlers on his dog’s head, and headed down into Whoville from his mountain home high above the city. He ...read more

Pursuing Righteousness

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jan 28, 2025

God Is Not Finished With You Yet

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 20, 2025

No matter where you are in life, God is not finished with you yet. He has started a good work, and He will surely bring it to completion. Even when things seem delayed, difficult, or discouraging, trust that He is working behind the scenes.

Does Prayer And Faith Complement Each Other? Series

Contributed by Billy Paul on May 12, 2020

Just praying all the time without fleshing out the answers received through prayers would tantamount to being faithless. At the same time, acting without an under girding of trust in God – which is prayer – is also tantamount to being faithless.

Three theologians sat discussing the best positions for prayer while a telephone repairman worked nearby. “Kneeling is definitely best,” claimed one. “No,” another contended, “I get the best results standing with my hands outstretched to Heaven.” “You're both wrong,” the third insisted, “the ...read more

Under His Control Series

Contributed by Troy Borst on Jul 15, 2020

We must humbly decide to operate under the will of God which means we trust Him, commit ourselves to His ways, are still before Him, and let Him be the judge. This is not weakness, but rather choosing to be under the control of the Creator of the Universe.

Part 2: The Difference Between Optimism And Faith. Series

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Feb 5, 2026

Stop reading the thermometer and start being the thermostat. Optimism is a fragile wish that things will get better; Faith is an unshakeable trust in who God is. In Part 2, we explore the "Three Unchangeables" of God’s nature.

THE PATTERN INTERRUPT Some of us have a problem we don't like to admit. Our faith is actually just optimism wearing a disguise. We feel faithful when the economy is up. We feel trusting when the test results look good. We feel close to God when life cooperates. But the second the thermometer ...read more

Character Study Of Ishmael Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 21, 2025

Abraham’s Faith, God’s Faithfulness

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Oct 31, 2025

Abraham trusted God’s promises despite doubt, fear, and impossibility—and how, like Abraham, we are justified not by our works but by God’s faithfulness. It reminds us that salvation and blessing are gifts of grace, not achievements of human effort.

“What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? If Abraham was justified by works, he would have something to boast about—but not before God. What does the Scripture say? ‘Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.’” ...read more

Faith Anchored In Hope

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 7, 2025

This message explores faith when life is not well — when God seems silent, unfeeling, or even contradictory. Through the lives of Job, Moses, and Abraham, we discover that true faith is not the absence of doubt but the choice to trust God in spite of doubt.

Some of us are old enough to remember this little ditty from the 1950s: “Next time you’re found with your chin on the ground… there’s a lot to be learned, just look around. What makes that little old ant think he’ll move that rubber tree plant? Anyone knows an ant can’t… but he’s got high ...read more

Joshua: A Faith That Conquers

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Jericho shows us this: when God says “I have given…,” faith stops engineering outcomes and starts obeying. Trust His plan, keep Him central, persevere, and watch His mercy and power level walls.

Jericho Jericho wasn't just any city. It was a fortress. Here’s what it looks like today. But Archaeological evidence shows it had a double wall system. The outer wall was about 6 feet thick and 20 feet high. Behind that was a 12-15 foot high embankment with another wall on top, reaching ...read more

Planning Wisely, Living Humbly

Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 1, 2026

We plan responsibly, but we submit these plans to God willingly. When they change—when doors close, when timelines shift, instead of living in despair we can trust that God causes all things to work together for good.

How can we prepare our lives for the future when we don’t know what the future holds? Well we know that God has created life with rhythms we can normally count on. The world keeps spinning on its axis. The sun rises and sets. Gravity holds us to the earth. We breathe without thinking. Seasons come ...read more
