    Is There Not A Cause?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 38 views

    God’s word is never idle—it creates purpose and calls for response. Like David, we are not defined by the roles others assign us, but by the word God has spoken over our lives. When that word becomes a cause, faith moves from observation to obedience.

    As David stood in the Valley of Elah, the battle between Israel and the Philistines was nearing a breaking point. For forty days, the giant Goliath had stepped forward to issue his challenge, defying the armies of the living God. And for forty days, no one answered him. The silence was not caused ...read more

    When You Feel Abandoned

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 36 views

    Psalm 22 reveals that honest lament is not faithlessness but faithful endurance, culminating in Christ’s cry from the cross. Because Jesus entered abandonment for us, silence is never absence, and suffering is never the end of the story.

    Have you ever felt that God has left you? Not in a theoretical sense. Not the kind of question that shows up in a classroom discussion or a late-night debate about faith and reason. I mean something much more personal than that—something that settles into your chest and refuses to leave. Have you ...read more

    Launching Out Into The Deep

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 25 views

    Christ calls weary believers to leave safe shallows behind and trust Him anew, discovering growth, purpose, and fruitfulness through obedient faith.

    My message this morning comes from the Scripture that was just read — Luke 5. It’s a familiar passage. Most of us have heard it many times. We know how the story goes. Fishermen become fishers of men. Nets that were empty suddenly overflow. Ordinary work becomes holy calling. But familiarity can ...read more

    Going Over The Baggage Limit

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 27 views

    Witness is not something Christians are trained to do, but what naturally happens when Christ is truly abided in and His life is allowed to shine.

    — When Evangelism Language Wears Us Out There are certain words in the church that carry more weight than we realize. Not because they are wrong words, but because of what they’ve come to mean through repetition. Through tone. Through history. Witness is one of those words. You can feel it in a ...read more

    If I Could Put Time In A Bottle

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 14 views

    Time is not random or meaningless; it unfolds under God’s sovereign care. Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that life is lived in seasons, eternity is placed in the human heart, and meaning is found not in controlling time but in reverently offering it to God. What is given to Him is never wasted.

    There are moments in life when time feels generous. Days seem long. Weeks stretch out ahead of us. The future feels wide and open, almost indulgent. And then there are other moments when time suddenly feels thin — compressed, hurried, and slippery. One season we are wondering how to fill the hours, ...read more

    It Is Time To Confess Our Sins

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 2, 2026
     | 100 views

    Golden Calf idolatry reveals how cherished sin destroys fellowship, while confession opens the way for God’s mercy, forgiveness, and restoration.

    There are moments in Scripture that are so disturbing, so uncomfortable, that we are tempted to read past them quickly. We would rather not linger there. We would prefer safer passages—stories of deliverance, victory, faith rewarded. But the Word of God does not allow us that luxury. There are ...read more

    He Calls You By Name

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 30, 2025
     | 125 views

    John’s resurrection account reveals a quiet but profound truth: belonging comes before understanding. This message invites weary believers to release the pressure to prove their faith and rediscover a resurrection life rooted in being known, named, and kept—while still on the road.

    Introduction John tells us that Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. That detail matters. Not because it is poetic, but because it is honest. This is not the hour of confidence or clarity. This is the hour when grief wakes before reason does. The hour when the body ...read more

    Songs For The Road: Music For Tired Feet

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 30, 2025
     | 121 views

    What if the pressure you feel isn’t because you’re failing—but because you’re trying to prove something you already are?

    Introduction I want to begin this morning with words that many of us recognize—not because they are complicated, but because they are honest. They weren’t written to impress anyone. They weren’t written to explain theology. They were written to be carried. I’m but a stranger here, Heaven is my ...read more

    The Question Evil Can’t Answer

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 29, 2025
     | 80 views

    Evil remains a mystery, but the cross reveals God’s character. He enters human suffering, bears its weight, and assures us that love—not evil—has the final word.

    There are certain questions that do not arise from curiosity, but from collision. They are not born in classrooms or debates, but in moments when life presses hard against the soul and refuses to explain itself. These questions surface when loss interrupts routine, when suffering enters without ...read more

    The Courage To Stay

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 28, 2025
     | 246 views

    Encouragement sustains faith through presence, patience, and shared courage, enabling people to grow, recover, and remain faithful together.

    I need to start today by saying something I don’t say often enough. This is a good church. Not flashy. Not perfect. Not loud. But good in ways that don’t show up on a website. (pause) And the reason I say that is simple. You stay. You stay when nothing dramatic is happening. You stay when the ...read more

    Happy New Day

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 27, 2025
     | 220 views

    This New Year message reframes faith from managing the future to walking faithfully through today, trusting God’s presence rather than promises or outcomes.

    This is a New Year sermon. For some of you, that sentence alone is enough to make you settle back into your seat and quietly decide, "I’ll check out for now and will check back in about half an hour." I don’t say that sarcastically. I say it honestly. Because New Year’s sermons have ...read more

    Hang On To What You Have

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 80 views

    Faith is sustained not by intensity or perfection, but by hanging on to Christ’s grace when pressure, disappointment, and weariness pull at our trust.

    He didn’t start out confused. He started out in love. You remember what that feels like—when faith is simple, when obedience feels like joy instead of effort, when the future seems open because God is clearly ahead of you. Prayer is natural. Scripture feels like bread. Service feels like oxygen. ...read more

    Getting Unstuck: How God Redeems Our Choices

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 71 views

    God’s purposes are not fragile. Human choices are real, and God redeems them—freeing us from fear, paralysis, and transactional faith so we can move forward in trust.

    --- Stuck Between Floors Have you ever been stuck in an elevator? Not falling. Not crashing. Just… stuck. The doors won’t open. The buttons don’t respond. Time stretches. And the fear doesn’t come because something is happening — it comes because nothing is happening. You’re trapped between ...read more

    High Hopes When All Is Not Well

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 116 views

    Faith is not measured by certainty or outcomes, but by a living relationship with Jesus—trusting Him faithfully when answers are delayed and life remains unresolved.

    Some of us are old enough to remember a simple song that used to show up on the radio and in cartoons. It wasn’t trying to be profound. It wasn’t aiming for insight. It was lighthearted—almost silly. And yet, it stayed with people far longer than you’d expect. --- High Hopes Next time you're ...read more

    Standing In The Storm

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 67 views

    Jesus teaches that storms are inevitable, but collapse is not; lives anchored in obedience to Christ stand firm when pressure reveals the foundation beneath them.

    There are storms we prepare for, and there are storms that arrive without warning. Some give us time. We see the clouds gathering. We hear the forecasts. We sense the pressure building in the air. Others come suddenly—without courtesy, without explanation, without asking whether this is a ...read more
