    Building Our Life On A Firm Foundation

    Contributed by Brandon Queen on May 27, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,033 views

    This sermon takes a look at our foundation as Christians.

    ENGAGE: The gospel is the ultimate truth that brings us hope, peace, and salvation to all who believe in it. The teachings of false gospels or our own gospel may come in many different forms, but they all lead only to confusion, despair, hopelessness, and eternal separation from God. It gives us a ...read more

    Whole-life worship means daily surrendering ourselves to God, allowing His grace to transform our minds, relationships, and service into a living offering.

    Family, can we pause for a holy breath? The kind you take when the noise quiets, the to-do list loosens its grip, and you remember that God really is as kind as Jesus says He is. Sometimes the holiest moments don’t happen on mountaintops but in kitchens and cubicles, minivans and meetings. Paul’s ...read more

    Look And See If There Be Any Sorrow Like My Sorrow – Focus On Nigeria Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 7, 2024
     | 1,288 views

    Not all believers are aware of the continuing atrocities against Christians in Nigeria from the hand of wicked Islam. We examine some of this and look at practical issues in martyrdom. We must stand with our fellow Christians being killed and tortured in Nigeria and other nations. Pray for them.

    LOOK AND SEE IF THERE BE ANY SORROW LIKE MY SORROW – FOCUS ON NIGERIA There is one certainty in following God, be that 4 000 years ago right up to our current time. It will be a road of sorrow and isolation and persecution. It always has been that way because there is always a war raging. It ...read more

    The Christian's hope is not just to live a long life on earth, but to live forever with God in heaven. —J. I. Packer

    Good morning, dear friends. I'm so delighted to see each one of you here today. There's a sense of shared joy, shared faith, and shared hope that fills this room and each home online as we gather, and it's a beautiful thing. We are here, not because we are perfect, but because we are ...read more

    Through the Spirit, God sets us free and welcomes us into His family.

    Motherhood is a gift. It’s beautiful, it’s demanding, and it’s one of the clearest pictures we have of sacrificial love. Whether it’s through birth, adoption, foster care, mentorship, or spiritual motherhood—so many women have poured themselves out in ways that reflect the heart of God. And today, ...read more

    Spurring One Another PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 2, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 155 views

    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. It all whispers a truth our souls know well: we are meant to be together. Life presses in with long weeks and ...read more

    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

     | 16,768 views

    This sermon is about enduring personal trials and tribulations in our personal wilderness.

    Mark, the evangelist, begins his gospel in the wilderness. According to him, the good news of salvation does not begin with mysterious angels proclaiming peace but the good news begins in a dry, desolated place inhabited by wild beasts and demons. And that is the message of our text - the promise ...read more

    We come to know and understand God by what the Bible says about Him and what we choose to do with that information

    TALKING POINTS: 1. Today’s subject is a deep subject. One that does not seem to be spoken of as much as it used to be. What is it? See if you can tell me: a.

    All men stand in need of God’s forgiveness of sin.

    FORGIVENESS WITH GOD Acts 5:30-31 INTRO. Paul said, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." But the Bible is not content with only one verse to prove the sinful condition of the human race.

    Most of our knowledge about God is second hand knowledge. God calls us to expereince first hand knowledge about Him.

    Growing in your Knowing I Peter 1:5 Intro: Ever heard someone say, “There are people who know things then there are people who really know things”?
