This is the intro to our series, "What it Mean's to be Human". We go back to the beginning to see why we were created.

Spurring One Another PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 3, 2025

The sermon emphasizes the vital role of gathering as a church community to encourage, support, and strengthen one another in love and faith as we follow Christ.

There’s a sacred sweetness in the sound of gathered voices. A familiar face across the aisle. A hug that lingers just a moment longer than usual. Coffee cups, creaky pews, and kind words.

Never Alone, Always Held PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 12, 2025

True contentment comes not from circumstances or possessions, but from trusting in God’s constant presence and faithfulness in every moment of our lives.

Some of us walked in today with hearts humming like a beehive—busy with bills, budgets, and bank balances.

We ...read more
