    Stop Telling God What To Do

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 78 views

    How Prayer Changes Us Before It Changes Anything Else. Prayer is not controlling outcomes but aligning with God’s heart, trusting Him fully, and joining His transforming work in people’s lives.

    There are phrases that sound almost sacrilegious in a prayer meeting. Not curse words. Just sentences that don’t fit the script Christian culture hands us. And the moment they come out of your mouth, the atmosphere shifts. Forks freeze above plates. Eyes widen. Someone nearly inhales a dinner ...read more

     | 1,884 views

    We have been given what we need to fend off the forces of the Devil. However, the things we need to fend off the forces of the enemy aren’t formed under our own power or innate abilities.

    10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power; 11 put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, 12 for our struggle is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of ...read more

    Emotional abandonment is a powerful feeling. It makes us feel like we are unwanted, forgotten, left out, and ignored. We often feel this way when we feel that we are cut off from God or unnecessary to God. What does God call me to do when I feel distant and and abandoned by Him?

    Do we really believe that most non-Christians are lost? Psalm 74:20 says “The dark places of the earth (where the love of God is not known) are full of the habitations of cruelty.” (selfishness, hatred, greed, strife, & violence.) Do they need a Savior, too? YES!

    This sermon addresses the importance of discerning between God’s voice, the enemy’s deceptions, and our own thoughts. It focuses on how to develop spiritual discernment and identify the voice of truth in a world full of competing messages.

Every day, we are bombarded with information—from the media, our culture, and even our own inner thoughts—that competes for our ...read more

    Being aware of the tactics of financial scammers can help protect us from them, but we are also protected by the spiritual practices of faith, contentment, and humility.

And that’s what I hope to do in today’s sermon – protect our church family from financial exploitation. 3. Our deacon of benevolence ...read more
