Brought To Life; Brought Together Walking Worthy: Spirit Filled Submission Series

Contributed by David Taylor on Jan 21, 2025

My big idea is Spirit filled people are submissive people.

We are continuing our series in Ephesians, Brought to Life; Brought Together. As we have said, Ephesians can be divided into two sections, chapters one through three describe what God has done in us through Christ while chapters four through six call us to live out what God has done in us. We are ...read more

"the Inbreaking"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Jan 25, 2024

A sermon about acknowledging the impure spirits in ourselves and asking Christ to call them out.

“The Inbreaking” Mark 1:21-28 When I was a Junior and Senior in high school I went through a difficult spell. I had always been one of the “good” kids, but for a number of reasons, I got in with a group of kids who were not mean people but were not heading in the right direction. I felt ...read more

Walking Through Chaos Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025

The Father who commands paralysis to move also commands storms to rest—calling His children to rise, walk, and trust His steady presence.

(John 5 & John 6:16–21 — The Lame Man and the Storm) --- Introduction — When Life Won’t Move Have you ever been stuck? Not the “traffic jam on I-15” kind of stuck. I mean the deeper kind — when nothing in your life will budge. You pray, you plan, you push, and still it feels like the wheels ...read more

The Enemy’s Final Defeat Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025

God overturns every evil plot; favor follows surrender, and the cross turns Satan’s gallows into unstoppable victory for God’s people.

Esther isn’t just a story; she’s a sign. She’s the picture of a bride standing tall in a collapsing world. We’re not in the first of the last days. We’re in the last of the last days! Can somebody say Amen! Before that trumpet sounds, there’s gonna be a stirring in God’s people like this world ...read more

Signed, Sealed, And Delivered Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025

Christ’s finished work overturns the enemy’s decree; His authority seals our deliverance, and we now carry His victory everywhere.

Introduction – The Victory Is Not in Doubt We’ve walked with Esther from fear to favor, from risk to reward, from prayer to power. We saw a little orphan girl rise to become a queen. We saw Haman hang on the gallows he built for someone else. We’ve watched the story turn. Now, in chapter 8, ...read more

When The Lights Go Out

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025

Jesus rekindles our passion to shine. His authority sends us, His Spirit empowers us, and His mission becomes our greatest thrill again

It happens slowly. You rarely notice when the first lights begin to flicker. A bulb gives up in the back hallway. One more goes dark in the kitchen. The living room dims a little, but you don’t think much about it. You just squint more. You buy a cheaper lamp. You hold your phone screen a little ...read more

Is There A Word From The Lord?

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025

God’s final word still stands: Go with Christ’s authority, fulfill His mission, and trust His presence until the end.

Introduction — The Question That Still Echoes Jeremiah’s words come from a dark hour in Israel’s story. The city was surrounded, the king frightened, and the people restless. So Zedekiah sent a messenger to the prophet asking one desperate question: “Is there a word from the Lord?” It’s the same ...read more

The Devil Is In The Details – No, Really! (Spiritual Warfare)

Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Jun 20, 2025

Spiritual powers have away of misleading us in life due to an original contract with man in the garden. Yet authority in Christ rectifies that in numerous ways.

Prior to the fall and possibly before the earth was actually perfected, God was forced to bring judgment upon an angelic creature who sought to raise himself up as equal with God. He is known by many names, all of which describe various aspects of his character, but for now we will simply refer to ...read more

(2) God Said It Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 30, 2025

John 4 -- Nobleman's Son. The second sign in John's Gospel shows the Word made flesh has limitless authority and power.

Introduction I want to begin today with a simple refrain you may have heard before: God said it. I believe it. And that settles it for me. That little line may sound like something out of a gospel chorus, but it’s actually the heartbeat of the second sign in John’s Gospel. We’re in John chapter ...read more

Find Your Towel

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025

Jesus gives authority to serve, not rule—power shaped like a towel, lifting others, revealing love’s quiet strength, and mirroring His heart.

1. The Ladder and the Towel My senior pastor once stood with me in the church fellowship hall staring at a row of framed photographs—portraits of evangelists who had conducted meetings through the years. His finger paused on one. “H. M. S. Richards, Sr.,” he said softly. Then came a line I’ll ...read more

Pergamum: When Faithfulness Is Misplaced Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 28, 2026

Living near power, Pergamum remained faithful yet misdirected loyalty, until Christ’s word called repentance, restored authority, and promised hidden sustenance and identity.

Pergamum is the third letter to the seven churches in Revelation, and by the time we arrive here, the pressure has changed again. Ephesus dealt with something that faded quietly. Smyrna faced pressure that came from the outside, loud and unmistakable. Pergamum is different. The danger here is ...read more

Who’s In Charge Here!? Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 8, 2023

This sermon explores the authority of Jesus as the Messiah, the pride and blindness of the Pharisees, and the call for humility and inclusivity in faith.

Welcome church! Today we’ve got an interesting passage about the authority of Jesus and the inability of the Pharisees to see Jesus for who He is. And, smack dab in the middle of it all there is a parable about 2 sons. How are these things related? Why is authority important and what role does ...read more

And with that great announcement, the battle-lines were drawn, not ...read more
