    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Jun 6, 2026
     | 114 views

    One of the great themes of the Christian life in the book of Ephesians is the word “walk.” Paul repeatedly reminds believers that Christianity is not merely something we believe; it is a way we live.

     | 140 views

    Tim Keller often framed it this way: “If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that He said. If He didn’t rise, then why worry about anything He said?”

    Sermon Title: The Claim That Changes Everything Text: (1 Corinthians 15:17–20) “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope[a] in this life only, we are of ...read more

    The Claim That Changes Everything Series

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Mar 24, 2026
     | 187 views

    The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just one doctrine among many—it is the doctrine that everything else stands or falls on. The Apostle Paul essentially says: If the resurrection is not true, Christianity collapses. But if it is true, then it changes everything.

    Sermon Title: The Claim That Changes Everything Text: (1 Corinthians 15:17–20) “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope[a] in this life only, we are of all ...read more

    His Love Never Runs Out Series

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Feb 16, 2026
     | 296 views

    : One of the deepest fears we carry—often unspoken—is the fear that love has limits. We worry that if we fail too much, disappoint too often, or suffer too long, the love we rely on might eventually dry up. Human love can grow weary. Human patience can wear thin. Human grace can be exhausted.

    Title: His Love Never Runs Out Text: “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” — Psalm 136:1 (NIV) Introduction: One of the deepest fears we carry—often unspoken—is the fear that love has limits. We worry that if we fail too much, disappoint too often, or suffer too ...read more

     | 253 views

    God’s presence does not change with the headlines. He is not taken by surprise by world events or personal trials. While governments and political forces shift power from one hand to another, God holds all things in His unwavering grip.

    Title: “Calm in the Chaos: Trusting the God Who Knows It All” Text: Hebrews 4:13 “He knows about everyone, everywhere.

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Jan 4, 2026
     | 326 views

    Loneliness is one of the most common human experiences. You can be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone. Seasons of loss, transition, fear, or exhaustion often whisper the same lie: You are on your own.

     | 656 views

    There is a quiet temptation at the turn of every year: to carry forward the weight of what has already been lived. Regrets, disappointments, unresolved griefs, and even past successes can cling to our hearts like heavy luggage. Yet God’s word through Isaiah is clear and co

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Nov 26, 2025
     | 539 views

    The first candle of Advent is the Candle of Hope—a small flame that speaks into the long darkness of a weary world. Hope does not deny reality; it defies it. It does not ignore the brokenness around us; it simply believes God is greater than the brokenness.

    Title: The Hope That Holds Us Text: We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.” — Psalm 33:20 The first candle of Advent is the Candle of Hope—a small flame that speaks into the long darkness of a weary world.

     | 474 views

    God’s economy runs on joy, not guilt. Paul reminds us that giving isn’t a tax, it’s a treasure—a chance to reflect the heart of a generous God. The Lord isn’t tallying how much you give; He’s looking at the attitude behind it.

    : The Joy of Generosity: Part One Text: Malichi 3:10, 2 Cor. 9:7 Introduction: God’s economy runs on joy, not guilt.

     | 602 views

    Title: Faith on Autopilot – Going Through the Motions Without Heart Text: Matt. 15:8-9 ‘This people honors me with their lips but their heart is far from me; 9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ “When routine replaces relationship” Introduction: “When faith ...read more

    "Peace that passes understanding isn’t the absence of questions—it’s the quiet trust that God’s timing is never late, even when our hearts are in a hurry."
