     | 675 views

    Today I want to look at the call of Nathanael to follow Jesus in a little more detail. There are spiritual lessons to be learned here: Reference is from John 1:43-51:

    The Disciples of Jesus Sermon: Nathanael – Come and See! Philip (John 1:43-51) from Bethsaida, introduced Nathanael to Jesus! Scripture Text: John 1:43-51 Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael 43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Philip, ...read more

    Four Cartons Of Milk

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 25, 2025
     | 167 views

    Listening is a posture of presence that communicates care; hearing words is not enough—true listening keeps hearts open and relationships alive.

    Let me start with something familiar. Have you ever been in a conversation where you were doing everything right on the outside—nodding at the right moments, making eye contact, even saying “yeah” or “uh-huh”—and then suddenly you realized you had absolutely no idea what the other person had just ...read more

    Is There Not A Cause?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 231 views

    God’s word is never idle—it creates purpose and calls for response. Like David, we are not defined by the roles others assign us, but by the word God has spoken over our lives. When that word becomes a cause, faith moves from observation to obedience.

    As David stood in the Valley of Elah, the battle between Israel and the Philistines was nearing a breaking point. For forty days, the giant Goliath had stepped forward to issue his challenge, defying the armies of the living God. And for forty days, no one answered him. The silence was not caused ...read more

    God’s unwavering love and acceptance in Christ frees us from fear, guilt, and shame, empowering us to live confidently knowing He is always for us.

    If you could hear heaven this morning, I think you’d hear a kind voice carrying across the chaos: I am for you. Not a whisper of wishful thinking, but the thunder of a Father’s heart.

    God’s justice and faithfulness empower us to pray boldly, resist the enemy, and finish the year with steadfast faith and triumphant praise.

    Friends, as we gather today, I sense a hush of holy expectation. The kind that settles the soul and steadies the heart. The year has been full of peaks and potholes, headlines and heartaches, but here we are—still held, still hearing the whisper of a faithful God. Some of us carry victories we ...read more

    God calls ordinary, imperfect people to carry His name, assuring us that our past doesn’t disqualify us and His presence empowers our purpose.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Your hands shook a little when you poured the coffee. Your thoughts carried old regrets like heavy suitcases. You wonder, “Could God still use me? Does Heaven have a purpose for someone like me?” Friend, lift your chin. The heart of God is ...read more
