Subsidence Of The Waters. Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 24, 2019

Feeling desolate is nothing new for the people of God, but when we do, we may recall this song: The next time you find yourself in a storm, Genesis 8 can give you new hope and encouragement, because the major theme of the chapter is renewal and rest after tribulation.

Philadelphia: When Faithfulness Is Protected Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Feb 2, 2026

Philadelphia reveals faithfulness without strength: Jesus sees quiet obedience, keeps His people near, opens doors by grace, and promises permanent belonging forever.

By the time we arrive at Philadelphia, we think we’re on familiar ground. The city of brotherly love. We’ve heard the phrase before. We know how it’s supposed to sound. No Quakers. No Liberty Bell. No 76ers or Eagles. No cheesesteaks. This Philadelphia is older than the phrase as we use it—and ...read more

God promises healing, hope, and restoration to those who fear Him, calling us to renewed faith, obedience, and wholehearted devotion amid life’s challenges.

Friends, some mornings feel like the sky forgot to wake up. The headlines are heavy, our homes can be hurried, and our hearts carry more than they let on.

Israel Reduced To One

Contributed by Curt Cizek on Dec 30, 2007

Matthew’s quotation of Hosea is extremely helpful for interpreting Biblical prophecy. God’s promises to the nation of Israel have found their fulfillment in the person of Jesus Christ.

- The first time I read our text for today several years ago, “Out of Egypt I called my son” I thought no big deal. That makes sense, Jesus is God’s son. It makes perfect sense. - Then I started to think about it some more – it says that this happened to fulfill what the Lord had said through the ...read more

Preparing For Victory Series

God gives Joshua a promise, His presence, and a proclamation of victory over the enemy. God does the same for us as we prepare to lead the victorious Christian life.

Joshua is a book about leading a victorious new life in God. On the surface it is about God bringing about His promise of a new land for His people, the Children of Israel. But there are tremendous parallels throughout the book to God bringing us, His children, into a promised new life in Jesus ...read more

Your God Will Be Mine

Contributed by John Bartol on Nov 22, 2012

The book of Ruth unfolds a beautiful example of the Providence of God in response to sincere faith. This story is also part of God's preparation for the birth of Christ, the promised Messiah.

Your God Will Be Mine The book of Ruth is one of the shortest in the Bible but it is certainly one of the most beautiful. If you have never read this book I would urge you to do so. It only takes about 15-20 minutes and I feel sure that you will not be disappointed It is found between the ...read more

Happy New Day

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 27, 2025

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
