    Guidepost Three – Jesus And Your Wallet Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 26, 2025
     | 131 views

    Radical generosity frees believers from consumerism, channels resources into God’s mission, and reveals hearts anchored in Christ rather than possessions.

    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

     | 148 views

    The Power of words.

    A. INTRODUCTION THIRD COMMANDMENT “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain” (Exodus 20:7). “Then I added, ‘Do not swear at all, neither by heaven, or God’s throne . . .” (Matthew ...read more

    The Gift Of Time Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 13, 2025
     | 112 views

    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. Languages drift, customs morph, recipes evolve, and one day we realize the original flavor has vanished. That is how the Sabbath changed. It was not a decision of ...read more

    Life From The Son

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025
     | 116 views

    Worship is the soul turning toward Christ’s light—adoration that becomes transformation, joy that becomes service, life aligned with divine love.

    The Flower and the Smile: What Worship Really Is There are moments when a question feels too obvious to ask and yet too heavy to ignore. One of those questions has followed me for years: Why does God want our worship? If He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-sufficient, why would He want—much ...read more

    Choose Your Altar

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025
     | 100 views

    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

    The World Is A Choir

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 25, 2025
     | 171 views

    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 ushers walk forward, the pastor nods, the pianist plays four familiar measures, and suddenly the congregation rises to its feet and a tiny hymn floats through the room. ...read more

    The Table-Flipper Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 116 views

    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
     | 125 views

    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

    Holy Masks

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 3, 2025
     | 159 views

    True worship begins when performance ends; Jesus frees us from religion’s stage to live honestly before the Father who sees in secret.

    If you’ve ever stood backstage before the curtain rises, you know that trembling hush—the buzz, the heartbeat, the thought: Will they like it? That’s performance. And you don’t need a theater to feel it. The biggest stage ever built fits in our pockets. Every post, every selfie, every opinion ...read more

    The Lost Choir Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 5, 2025
     | 153 views

    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

    When God Sings Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 8, 2025
     | 199 views

    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

    The Song Of The Redeemed Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 8, 2025
     | 229 views

    Heaven’s final music joins every redeemed soul in one song of triumph—salvation completed, creation restored, and the Conductor glorified forever.

    Introduction: There’s something sacred about the first song ever sung by a freed people. When Israel crossed the Red Sea, they didn’t build an altar first; they sang. They didn’t need lyrics printed or chords projected. The music came straight from relief, from gratitude, from shock. Water still ...read more

    Nice Place You Got

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 9, 2025
     | 123 views

    The church becomes lovely when grace lives within her people—imperfect, forgiven hearts revealing God’s presence and beauty to a longing world.

    >>The Big Hunger If you’ve ever watched the old film The Gods Must Be Crazy, you’ll remember the little Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert. Anthropologists call them the San people, but their neighbors simply say, “the Sun People.” Out there—where the sand burns your feet and the stars blanket ...read more

    The Mystery Of The Missing Day

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 9, 2025
     | 123 views

    Rediscovering the gift we forgot. A day that disappeared from our calendars long before it vanished from our hearts.

    Part 1 – The Beginning of Rest We live in a restless world. We measure our worth by how many emails we answer before breakfast, how many miles we drive, how many boxes we check before nightfall. The very first full day of human existence was nothing like that. The first sound Adam and Eve ever ...read more

    Religious Play-Acting

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 10, 2025
     | 142 views

    Jesus frees us from religion’s stage—calling us from performance to presence, from spotlight to sunlight, to live unmasked before the Father.

    Religious Play-Acting The Sermon on the Mount opens with blessing and ends with a choice: sand or rock, appearance or obedience. Between those two poles, Matthew 6 sits like a quiet heart—Jesus’ exposition of motive. Here the Lord shifts from what disciples do to why they do it. He moves from ...read more
