     | 1,255 views

    Falling into this scheme of Satan means our feet are taken out from beneath us because we are settling for false peace… lack of conflict… rather than Godly peace which is right relationship.

    The darkness in Egypt was overwhelming, the darkness in Egypt got Pharaoh's attention, and the darkness in Egypt blinded Pharaoh's mind.

    Where’s the Light? Exodus 10:21-29 - We’re continuing our study through the book of Exodus. - As we go through each passage, we’re asking the question, “What does this passage teach me about honoring God?” - Last week, we looked at the eighth plague, the plague of locusts, and focused on the ...read more

     | 10,289 views

    This message examines God's side and the believer's side of the sanctification process using Phil. 2:12-13. Without the grace of God operating in our hearts, all our efforts. . . .

    10.14.18 TEXT: Philippians 2:12-13, “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”1 I.

    Hell is real. Hell is bad. Hell is eternal. But Hell is avoidable. The good news is that through Christ our sins have been paid for. In Christ there is hope.

    How many of you believe in Heaven? [Pause.] Dumb question? Well, bear with me. How many of you believe in Hell? [Pause.] How many of you believe that Hell is a real place and not just some concept or metaphor? [Pause.] You would think that the concept or belief in a real Heaven and a ...read more

    Where Is Your Bed?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 4, 2025
     | 176 views

    Jesus replaces false hope with wholeness, calling us to rise from spiritual paralysis, carry redeemed stories, and walk in restored identity and purpose.

    PART 1 — THE BED YOU’VE BEEN LYING ON There is a place in Jerusalem that almost no one visited with joy. They did not come singing. They did not come expecting a miracle. They came because they were stuck. They came because they were broken. They came because they had nowhere else to go. It was ...read more

     | 134 views

    Intelligence is a gift, but it was never meant to carry the weight of the soul. Jesus invites thoughtful people to stop standing alone and abide.

    The Honest Starting Point Thoughtful people do not arrive at faith lightly. They arrive carrying questions, experiences, and scars earned through paying attention. Discernment was not learned in a classroom alone; it was learned in rooms where trust failed, promises collapsed, and someone had to ...read more

    Is There Not A Cause?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 101 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

     | 4,438 views

    A study of the attributes of God—seeing God as He is—is a life-transforming experience. Seeing God in His greatness and glory has transformed lives. Knowing God as fully as possible was the goal of the great men and women of God in the Bible. The great me

    1.Job, by God’s assessment, was “a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil” (Job 1:8). God allowed a series of disasters to afflict Job through the agency of Satan. Job was “counseled” by three friends, which only added further to his suffering. Job was weakening under ...read more

    God is a jilted spouse with a persistent love for an unfaithful partner--us.

    She was a floozy, the kind of girl your mother warned you about and your dad might take a sneak peek at. She wore purple eye shadow, thick mascara and lipstick so red that hummingbirds buzzed around her. Her dresses were always a size or two smaller than they should have been, and her walk was more ...read more

    Working on: I. The Walking Minister The terrain through which Jesus traveled on foot was some of the most difficult on Earth, yet he chose to walk rather than ride an animal.

    If God has delivered you, you ought to give him the praise.

    Something to Rejoice about ACTS 16:10 Some of us Christians have the bad habit, the chronic spiritual disease that may be called looking and "living on the dark side of life.
