    Is God's Word Strange To You? PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 6, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 92 views

    The sermon urges us to embrace God’s Word even when it challenges us, reminding us true faith means letting God, not ourselves, define truth.

    Some words woo us with comfort; others confront us with change. When the Lord speaks, His words carry weight that wakes us up. We sense His sentences brushing the dust off our Bibles and the haze off our hearts. Sometimes the pages feel prickly, passages puzzle us, and precepts press against our ...read more

     | 115 views

    True satisfaction and joyful obedience are found only in knowing God and delighting in His presence, rather than seeking fulfillment in the world’s empty offerings.

    If we could sit together around a kitchen table, you’d notice the warmth of the oven and the smell of fresh bread. Plates set, cups full, chairs pulled close. That’s the picture in my mind when I think of what God offers His people: a table where the hungry are welcomed, where the thirsty are ...read more

    God lovingly confronts our misplaced affections and hollow celebrations, calling us to honest repentance and deeper relationship, offering restoration instead of shame.

    If your week has worn thin and your soul feels tired, welcome. You’re in the right place. God meets us in the ordinary and the overwhelmed. He meets us in the pew and in the parking lot, in the headlines and in the heartache. And He has a word for us today—steady, strong, and sure. Have you ever ...read more

     | 138 views

    We are created in God’s image, marred by sin, yet through Christ we are renewed to reflect His likeness, dignity, and purpose.

    Friend, before we begin, let me speak a word over your heart: you are seen by God, shaped by God, stamped with the likeness of God. The One who paints sunsets with colors that refuse to quit also formed you with care that refuses to fail. Have you ever stood before a mirror and wondered, Who am I, ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 116 views

    The sermon emphasizes embracing God’s forgiveness so deeply that it transforms us into people who freely extend mercy and forgiveness to others in everyday life.

    Some of us walked in today with invisible suitcases—stuffed with memories we’d rather forget, words we wish we could unsay, and wounds we struggle to understand. We smile, we sing, we shake hands. Meanwhile, there are names that tighten our chest and moments that make our stomach drop. You’re not ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 108 views

    God’s grace is a free gift we cannot earn; through faith, we receive His love and acceptance, not by our efforts but by His mercy.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts like clenched fists—trying to hold it all together, trying to square the accounts with God, trying to make sense of a week that wore us thin. We wonder if grace has a limit, if mercy has a meter, if love has a ledger. We keep a mental checklist: pray more, try ...read more

    God’s presence gives us courage and strength to face new challenges, assuring us that we are never alone as we step forward in faith.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile for others and a storm inside. You’ve been staring at a calendar date that scares you. There’s a chair at the table that sits empty. There’s a decision lurking in your inbox with your name on it. Life does that. It brings us to riverbanks we’ve never crossed, ...read more

    Simon says, "touch your nose. . ." Jesus says, "follow my example." With a servant’s heart you won’t just "win the game;" you will have the blessing of God’s hand upon your life. Will you willing to take up the towel and serve others like Jesus did?

    As a child I was never very good at the game “Simon Says.” You remember how that game is played don’t you? The leader plays the part of Simon, and everyone playing has to do what Simon says. Of course the catch is that you are only to do what Simon says when Simon says, “Simon says. . .” ...read more
