GBC Pryor Sunday Sermons

The thread of God’s unfailing love weaves throughout Scripture, beginning with powerful examples like Ruth’s sacrificial commitment to Naomi. When tragedy struck and Naomi lost her family, Ruth chose loyalty over comfort, declaring that wherever Naomi went, she would go too. This steadfast love mirrors God’s own character toward His people. Psalm 103 reveals that God’s unfailing love toward those...

The Christmas story reveals a profound truth about joy that extends far beyond seasonal celebration or temporary happiness. When the angel appeared to shepherds near Bethlehem, the announcement wasn’t about ordinary good feelings - it was about mega joy, a supernatural joy that would be available to all people through Jesus Christ. This divine joy transcends circumstances and becomes a lasting sta...

What if the peace you’re searching for isn’t about avoiding problems but finding Someone who walks through them with you? The Prince of Peace offers something the world can’t: peace that doesn’t depend on perfect circumstances. Are you trying to create peace in your own strength, or are you ready to discover what true peace really looks like? This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss...

What if the God who asked a prophet to buy land before invasion and brought Jesus into the world through a virgin wants to do the impossible in your life too? Nothing is too hard for the Lord—but are we too busy with our own agendas to receive His instruction and obey? Emmanuel means God is with us, ready to work miracles in the most unexpected ways. This is the first sermon of Advent 2025. This i...

The sermon "Continuing with Christ" draws on the outstanding elements of John 15 and the illustration Jesus uses of the vine and the branches, exploring the potential relationship believers can have with him in greater depth.

When Murphy said If anything can go wrong, it will, he was speaking of natural things. But what if things go wrong because of spiritual things? What if God has more for us to understand, skills for us to develop, and ways to deal with dark spiritual entities? In this sermon those themes will be discussed. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get acc...

It is weird to think in the scientific age that people can have a relationship with a divine being. No one takes God to the lab to dissect and measure.

Jesus has a way of turning things around, like prayer. He knows the power of prayer and invites us to engage in it. However, he does not go with what is often seen or done. This is a public episode.

If you are a Christian, you are weird. To live this life of being new in Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, coming out of the darkness of the world and the power of the prince of the power of the air, is so different from those living their lives without Christ. Join us for the message on Your Spiritual Strangeness. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscrib...

Do you matter? Can you make a difference? Wondering about who we are and what difference we can make in our short time on earth is worthy of serious consideration.

This is a public episode. If you would like to discu...

This short book is filled with reminders of the truth of God, the battle with evil entities, and the problem of distorted teaching in the church.

The hope in a church fellowship is for peace among its members and opportunities to grow in the truth. Unfortunately, some people go a different direction. Church bosses or bullies move into positions of power and then become consumed with their egotism and desire to control. Those situations have been around a long time, and we find John dealing with a church boss in 3 John. We also have those wh...

In our English Bible translations, we often see words like God, LORD, Lord, and other names when referring to the Creator and King of the universe. Have you ever wondered what the meaning is behind those words, and what the significance is of those different names? In this sermon, we will explore the Name of God and why it matters to us, for example - what it really means to take God's name in vai...

Join us as we continue our One-Hit Wonders series looking at one-chapter books of the Bible. Today we dig into 2nd John, a very short but important letter. This is a public episode.

There are times when we are in an impossible situation. It is not what we want or deserve, but it happens. Sometimes we are betrayed, hurt, or abused. But Jesus comes along, and we find another path, possibly one we would never have decided on. That is what is happening in the very personal letter Paul sent to Philemon. We will look into this insightful letter for God's leading for today. This is...

Obadiah, the tiny Old Testament book with a message for Edom. Who is Obadiah? And who is Edom? Vengeance is mine, says the Lord, and he came to deal with Edom's evil. Can you trust the Lord to come through when you have been betrayed, mistreated, or abused? Yes, you can. Will he deal with those who do evil? Yes, he will; those in our and spiritual realms will face the Lord. This is a public episod...

One-hit wonders, from "Spirit in the Sky" to "In the Summertime," bring a smile to our faces and a memory to mind, but the single hit did not lead the singer or band to multiple album success. There are some one-chapter books in the Bible that are short and stout. In this introduction to our One-Hit Wonders series, we are going to look at the power of Scripture. This is a public episode. If you wo...

How can we grasp the immensity of the resurrection? We find answers in Scripture. God has so much more for his own. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit gbcpryor.substack.com

How can life really be different? It is what it is. I think what I think, and I feel what I feel. That would be true apart from Jesus and the resurrection. Each person is not an end in themselves; they are not the final authority. Jesus rose from the dead, providing evidence of a higher power and highlighting that he is the truth. Because of him, people can gain a new perspective on life through t...

Throughout human history, only one came from heaven to earth, became a man, died for the penalty of others' sins, was buried, and rose alive from death. No one is like Jesus. His resurrection verifies his truth and his promises. Jesus accomplished so much; on Easter Sunday we heard about Resurrection Radiance. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or ge...

(Late upload from 4-13-25) The songs that say there is power in the blood or the cross are right. Jesus accomplished incredible things in his suffering and death. He paid the penalty for sins which has personal value for us. His plan had so many implications for people, heaven, and earth, and across eternity that it had to be kept secret until the powers of darkness were defeated. This is a public...
