  • Homeward Bound

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 18, 2025
     | 122 views

    Through Christ, the orphaned heart finds adoption, belonging, and peace — turning every cry of distance into a song of homecoming.

    There’s something universal about songs of longing. Every culture has them — songs that rise up from somewhere deep in the soul, where words alone can’t quite reach. The Irish have “Danny Boy,” the Armenians have “Dle Yaman,” the Jews sing “By the Rivers of Babylon,” and African-American slaves ...read more

  • The Faith-Defier Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 203 views

    Jesus celebrates bold, persistent faith from unexpected people and expands grace beyond boundaries, bringing healing into homes that feel far away.

    INTRODUCTION Some people seem to come to Jesus from the “right” backgrounds. Grew up in church. Know the songs. Understand the language. Fit neatly into the system. Then there are others. The ones who never quite know when to stand up or sit down. The ones who aren’t sure if they belong. The ...read more

  • So Near -- So Far

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 28, 2025
     | 207 views

    Older brothers get lost at home—close to God yet far from His heart—but the Father invites them inside to enjoy His joy.

    INTRODUCTION – MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND Today our nation pauses to remember those who gave their lives for freedom. For many, Memorial Day is a date on the calendar; for me, it is a name. My older brother Bob, now laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery, reminds me that freedom always carries a ...read more

  • When Truth Needs Fire

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 29, 2025
     | 156 views

    Jesus rekindles cold faith by engaging every doorway of our soul—mind, heart, and body—so truth burns with love again.

    INTRODUCTION — The Right That Feels Wrong There is a kind of religion that is technically correct and emotionally vacant. People walk in with good doctrine and walk out… colder than they came. And here’s the heartbreaking part: They were right. The Sabbath is right. The Second Coming is ...read more

  • A Person, Not An Algorithm

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 21, 2025
     | 188 views

    True meaning is not something we calculate or construct but Someone we receive—our identity, purpose, and hope found only in Christ.

    When the Soul Feels Automated We live in a world where almost everything is mediated through algorithms. They tell us what to watch, what to like, what to buy, and even what to feel. They shape our news, our habits, and our reactions without us ever stopping to ask whether the suggestions they ...read more

  • Unfollow Me Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 23, 2025
     | 226 views

    Jesus calls us to unfollow the voices that hurt us and follow Him into peace, identity, courage, and a life of true belonging.

    There is a strange paradox in the way we speak today. We live in an age with more freedom than any previous generation — more information, more options, more mobility, more personal expression. Yet even with all this freedom, we are more anxious, more fragmented, more exhausted, and more confused ...read more

  • Hey Zach, Let's Go Home

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 30, 2025
     | 274 views

    Jesus stops under our tree, calls us by name, enters our desolate house, and fills our deepest loneliness with restoring, transforming grace.

    Part One — The Ache for Home There is a painting by Norman Rockwell that I have loved for years. Even before I knew why it gripped me, it spoke to something deep inside — that universal ache, that timeless yearning we all have for home. Not simply a house or a street address, but the place where ...read more

  • I Once Was Lost But Now I'm Found

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 2, 2025
     | 372 views

    Identity is not found by looking inward but revealed by God. We are lost in self but found when the Father comes running.

    I will never forget the moment when someone I loved looked at me and said, “I need to find myself.” I can still remember the quality of the light in the room, the strange hush in the air, the way those four words seemed to rearrange the furniture of my life in an instant. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t ...read more

  • Come And Eat

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
     | 160 views

    The risen Christ meets disoriented, ashamed people with presence, restores fellowship through shared life, and invites us to belong again at the table.

    Part 1 — Hunger and Disorientation There is a particular kind of confusion that comes after everything you hoped for has already happened. It is not the confusion of despair. It is not the confusion of disbelief. It is the confusion of now what? That is where John 21 begins. The resurrection has ...read more

     | 1,685 views

    This is a message on the unity of the body of Christ in worship, life and mission.

    A while back there was a fellow who regularly came to our church. He went through a number of legal and then medical problems, and then 2 people from this church were preparing to go to see him at home to provide moral support, prayer, and other help from the church as needed. Then we learned ...read more

     | 4,700 views

    Do we sometimes feel like we don’t belong? We really belong somewhere else, somewhere wonderful. How do we get there? Let’s find the way to the place where we truly belong in John 14:1-14.

    Because we belong to God, we should desire spiritual nourishment to grow, we enjoy certain blessings, and we have a holy purpose in life.

    Because We Belong to God Part 2 I Pet. 2:1-10 INTRO.: We want to continue today thinking about certain things a Christian should do and be just because he is a Christian.

  • What Do You Have That Belongs To God?

    Contributed by Jim Twamley on Mar 26, 2003
    based on 54 ratings
     | 6,570 views

    If you are a Christian who has something that belongs to God, Time, Talent, Money, secret sin or a painful past, it’s time to uncover those things and give them back to God.

    We begin in the Book of Joshua chapter 5:1 Joshua’s Hebrew name means “God is our Salvation” The Hebrew name Joshua is rendered in the Greek as Iesous which we pronounce in English as “Jesus”. So the names Joshua and Jesus are the same and have the meaning “God is our Salvation.” The Children of ...read more
