Sermon – The Neglected Vineyard

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 27, 2024

The key takeaway from Song of Solomon 1:5-6 is that it does not matter what a person looks like on the outside, for true beauty is not found in physical features, but rather moral character and purity. Work on yourself more than for others.

Sermon – The Neglected Vineyard Scripture: Song of Solomon 1:4-9 “Draw me, we will run after You, The King has brought me into his chambers; we will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine; the upright love You. I am black, but comely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like ...read more

We are a lot like Jonah Reluctant to do God's calling at first... But when we get back on track and follow the directions of God we enjoy the abundance that He has to offer.

Contributed by William Akehurst on Jul 7, 2025

WHO DO YOU SAY JESUS IS? THIS IS THE QUESTION THAT DEFINES ETERNITY. True discipleship begins with a right confession of who Jesus is, embraces the necessity of the cross, and responds with wholehearted surrender to follow Him; regardless of the cost.

The Mantle Is Yours

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 7, 2025

God still places His mantle on faithful people who submit at God still places His mantle on faithful people who submit at Gilgal, seek at Bethel, persevere through Jericho, and cross Jordan transformed.

Every culture understands the power of symbolic clothing. When a judge puts on the black robe, authority follows. When a graduate steps across the stage in cap and gown, years of learning find recognition. When a soldier fastens the uniform, identity and duty intertwine. The Bible also speaks of ...read more

Oh, To Love

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 25, 2025

Jesus restores us after our failures, renewing our love and purpose, and calls us to love others the same way He loves us.

Picture a quiet moment you wish you could erase from your history. A word you regret. A choice you can’t take back. A time when you told Jesus with your voice, “I love You”… but told Him with your actions, “Not right now.” Every one of us has a chapter like that. Some of us have a whole ...read more

Courage When Crisis Comes

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025

Courage is faith refusing to yield to fear—God’s Spirit empowering us with power, love, and soundness in every crisis.

I. When Fear Feels Bigger than Faith If you lose your money, you’ve lost a lot. If you lose your reputation, you’ve lost more. But if you lose your courage—you’ve lost everything. Fear has a thousand disguises: anxiety, hesitation, exhaustion, even polite excuses. It doesn’t always scream; ...read more

Purpose, Please Stand Up

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 12, 2025

Purpose rises when God’s word defines us, God’s anointing empowers us, and we step into the valley knowing the battle belongs to the Lord.

There are moments in Scripture when God doesn’t whisper purpose—He shakes it into the bones of His people. And one of those moments erupts in 1 Samuel 17 when a young shepherd boy, overlooked by his family and underestimated by everyone else, stands on a battlefield and shouts a question that ...read more

The Birth Of John The Baptist

Contributed by Jaeyoun Chang on Dec 11, 2025

When Mary visited Elizabeth and greeted her, Elizabeth was six months pregnant. Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then she returned home (v. 56). Perhaps she returned to Nazareth in Galilee before Elizabeth gave birth to her baby.

I. Birth and naming of John (vv. 57~65) Finally, when Elizabeth’s days to give birth were fulfilled, she gave birth to a son (v. 57). At that time, many neighbors and relatives heard it and rejoiced together (v. 58). Jews circumcise their sons eight days after birth, and at that time, relatives ...read more

The Peace Altar

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 20, 2025

God gives peace before the battle, speaks identity before performance, and empowers fearful people through His presence, not their strength.

Most of us assume peace comes after things change. After the diagnosis is clear. After the conflict is resolved. After the money situation stabilizes. After the fear finally loosens its grip. We tell ourselves, “I’ll have peace when the battle is over.” But the story of Gideon opens with a ...read more

Is There Not A Cause?

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026

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
