    To some outsiders, it must look a little bit crazy. Cause all you talk about is God and Church. Why are you always trying to invite me to church? What's up with all of these stage lights, bands and video screens?

    Looking A Little Bit Crazy Mark 3:20-30 There was a photocopied sign that was posted inside a church office. It was one of those humorous slogans that people in different offices duplicate and pass among themselves. Most of us have seen this particular message, I suppose, but posted in a ...read more

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 5, 2025
     | 268 views

    Temptation confronts every believer, but God’s faithfulness always provides an exit—grace stronger than sin, hope greater than failure.

    “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” --- The Common Struggle Every believer knows what it ...read more

    Hang On To What You Have

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 27, 2025
     | 136 views

    Faith is sustained not by intensity or perfection, but by hanging on to Christ’s grace when pressure, disappointment, and weariness pull at our trust.

You remember what that feels like—when faith is simple, when obedience feels like joy instead of effort, when the future seems open because God is clearly ahead of you. Prayer is natural. Scripture feels like bread. Service feels like oxygen. ...read more
