Abigail - Unsung Hero/Agent Of Grace

Contributed by Ryan Ferwerda on Sep 21, 2025

Everything Is Ready

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 25, 2025

Jesus pictures the kingdom as a banquet—an invitation to joy. In Luke 14:7–24 He confronts pride, exposes excuses, and calls for a humble, wholehearted response to His invitation—today, not “someday.”

The next couple of weeks we're going to be spending time in Luke 14, in a mini-series called "Come to the Table." I named the series this because - don't you just love invitations to eat? At first I thought that "Let's Eat" may have been a better title for this ...read more

Presence Over Praise

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025

When we choose God’s presence over applause, faithful service over spotlight, and trust in waiting over instant recognition, our hearts are shaped for His glory

There is something sacred in the ordinary. A simple door. A gate. A threshold. A doorkeeper. The one who watches, opens, welcomes, guards. In the temple system of old, the doorkeeper had no glamorous role. Few songs were written about him. He rarely stood in the spotlight. But without him, people ...read more

Pray Boldly!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jul 28, 2025

"Your will be done on earth as in heaven." We may not say the exact words but many of our prayers could be summarized with the words, “please let my will be done.” What's the answer to this paradox of prayer?

“Your will be done on earth as in heaven.” In the prayer we affectionately call the Lord’s Prayer we refer to that phrase as the Third Petition. Remember that a petition is specific request. There are seven petitions in the Lord’s Prayer as we pray it. After addressing God as our Father in ...read more

A Pharisee And Tax Collector Pray Together PRO Sermon

Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a scoreboard in our heart.
