    He Calls You By Name

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 30, 2025
     | 189 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

    Faithful people of every age have stood up and professed Jesus as their Savior and their Lord because of the foundation of their faith … the love of God as shown to us by His Son, Jesus Christ, becoming another stone laid atop many other stones.

    [Note: The title of this series is "The Stony Path." Each sermon has a theme or uses the image of a stone. As the people come into church, they are given a stone to hold during the service. At the end of the service, they are asked to place their stones at the foot of a wooden cross ...read more

     | 521 views

    Don’t you imagine that Lazarus grew tired of the onlookers wanting to catch a glimpse of him? No doubt Lazarus would have loved his privacy away from prying eyes after being in the spotlight. How many times did he have to answer, “How do you feel?”

    Find John 12 with me. Worship is the one activity believers will do for all of eternity. Worship offers us these incredible benefits of peace and joy in our lives. Listen and learn from a story of incredible worship. As you listen, refuse to be Judas while embracing Mary. Oh, that there would be ...read more

    Ever notice how when a man and a woman want to get married, they go to God and have a church wedding? But when they want a divorce, they go to man? They go to church to say, "I do", but they go to court to say, "I quit!" Does God accept that?

But it is not necessarily because Jesus is at the center. The Christmas season malls, stores, Wal-Mart, even many ...read more
