A Broken Man Before The Boundless Gospel

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Locked doors and crowded rooms can stop most people, but real faith finds a way. In Mark 2:1–12 four friends tear through a roof to place a paralytic before Jesus—He forgives first, then heals—showing His authority and calling us to carry others to Him.

A little while ago I was installing a keypad lock on the door to my upstairs studio—just trying to add an extra layer of security for my equipment, cameras, computers, all that production stuff. So I set the keypad lock up, got the old handle out of the door, got the batteries in, set the code, all ...read more

Joshua’s Gigantic Faith

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 14, 2024

The source of Joshua’s faith is his alignment to God’s will or his knowledge of God’s plan. Joshua when he knew from God that defeating the 5 kings was God’s will, he went to the extent of stopping the sun in order to carry out God's plan.

And the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand; not a man of them shall stand before you.” Joshua 10:8 Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: Sun, ...read more

Sermon # 49 - Value What God Values Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 14, 2025

Jonah had more pity for the plant that gave him a little shade than for the people of Nineveh who had repented and thereby were saved from God’s wrath and judgement. May we learn to value people over things and traditions and love them like Jesus did.
