How In The World Can I Be Holy?

Holiness grows as we surrender: Christ renews our thoughts, equips our lives, and tunes our praise, freeing us to truly live.

Introduction: A wild duck lands in a Danish barnyard for an easy meal. He plans to stay an hour, then a day, then a summer. When autumn comes and wild wings thunder overhead, he tries to join them but can barely clear the barn eaves. By the next spring he scarcely looks up. That is a parable of ...read more

Guidepost Three – Jesus And Your Wallet Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 26, 2025

A Startling Act of Generosity A young couple in the Midwest paid off their modest home years early. Then they sold it—debt-free—and moved into a small apartment. With the sale proceeds they funded wells for villages with no clean water, supported missionaries they had never met, and helped single ...read more

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 13, 2025

The Sabbath remains holy and God’s enduring invitation to rest in His finished grace.

Introduction – A Change No One Voted On Some of the biggest changes in history happen so quietly that we only notice their results.

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 8, 2025

This sermon explains how to use not only the most amazing things in the creation to increase your delight in God, but also the disappointing things—even disappointing people to increase your joy in God by seeing how your disappointment in them draws lines that point to God’s majesty.

Choose Your Altar

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025

Sin disguises death, but the cross reveals truth. Choose Christ’s altar and guard your home from the silent discipleship of darkness.

Introduction — The Altars We Don’t Notice There was a time when altars were unmistakable. Stone. Fire. Blood. Devotion. Awe. Everyone knew the moment of worship. Everyone knew to whom they were offering themselves. Today, the altars have changed. They glow. They scroll. They entertain. They fit ...read more

Creation praises God constantly; every blessing flows from Him, inviting us to join heaven’s chorus with grateful hearts and joyful worship.

Introduction — Hearing What We’ve Been Singing We have sung it so many times that it slips out of our mouths on autopilot.

The Table-Flipper Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025

Jesus confronts anything that blocks true worship, clears space for outsiders to encounter God, and invites wholehearted praise that honors the Father.

INTRODUCTION Palm Sunday tends to paint a very specific picture in our minds. Children waving palm branches. A gentle Jesus seated on a humble donkey, smiling, receiving cheers like a beloved hometown hero. We imagine sunshine, hope in the air, families lining the streets. It feels like the ...read more

A Day In His Presence

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025

Better a single day near God than a thousand apart; the humble heart at His door already walks in eternal joy.

There are passages in Scripture that seem to sing even when you read them silently. Psalm 84 is one of those sacred songs. It isn’t just poetry — it’s testimony. It’s the song of a traveler whose feet are dusty, whose heart is homesick for God, whose eyes are fixed on the courts of the Lord. > ...read more

The Lost Choir Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 4, 2025

Heaven’s harmony begins on earth; worship is surrender that turns broken lives into instruments of praise, restoring the lost choir of creation.

The Theology of Sound Before there was melody, there was meaning. Before the first vibration, there was a Voice that knew what it wanted to say. The music of the universe didn’t start with randomness — it started with intention. That Voice was not a sound wave traveling through space; it was the ...read more

Jesus Unlocks And Reveals God's Plan (Revelation 5:1-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 6, 2025

The book symbolizes God's plan that stretches from Jesus' resurrection, to his return. His plan was stuck on pause, but the Lion-Lamb, who alone is worthy, presses "play."

Today, we have the privilege of reading the second half of John's heavenly vision in Revelation. Last week, we made it through the first half, in chapter 4. This week, we'll see the second half. It's important that we see it, and hear it, all at once. So I'm just going to start, ...read more

When God Sings Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 8, 2025

God rejoices over His children with singing; His unending melody of love began at creation, triumphed at Calvary, and continues through redeemed hearts

1 – The Unthinkable Sound We sing to God every Sabbath. We open our hymnals, follow the notes, and hope our voices find the right pitch before the second verse ends. Singing feels natural to us — after all, that’s what worshippers do. But Zephaniah flips the page. He says God sings. That’s not ...read more
