Love Over Judgment

Contributed by Justin Dietel on Aug 27, 2024

It seems like the world is full of experts—especially when it comes to how everyone else should live their lives. You’ve got your social media gurus, your armchair quarterbacks, and yes, even those folks who somehow know exactly what Jesus would tweet

Sermon On A Journey To The Light

Contributed by William Meakin on Aug 31, 2025

A "journey to the light" has multi-faceted definitions which describe a metaphorical, spiritual, or personal process of growth, healing, and transformation, moving from a state of darkness, ignorance, or despair towards knowledge, hope, and enlightenment.

Lao Tzu, a Chinese philosopher and writer once remarked: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". John 8:12 reminds us: Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” A ...read more

Drawn To The Light Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 17, 2026

The Love Of God: Proclaimed, Proven, Practiced

Contributed by Lester Potts on Feb 1, 2026

The writings of the Apostle John are a treasure trove of theological insight, and within his inspired words we find three definitive statements about the nature of God: “God is spirit” (John 4:24, ESV), “God is light” (1 John 1:5, ESV), and “God is love” (1 John 4:8, 16, ESV).
