Church On Mission - Going! Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Jul 8, 2025

Do you believe God called you just to study? To live in Vienna, to get a job, find a spouse, to have a family, to settle down, to live the good life or is there an even greater calling on your life?

I have recently been reading a book called, The Sound of Life's Unspeakable Beauty written by a master violin maker - “a luthier.” The author described all that is involved in making a beautiful instrument visually and acoustically.

An Appropriate Reaction

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 14, 2025

Our freedom comes with a price. We are no longer our own. And the only appropriate response is to do what God wants from us in return.

Hostages have been much in the news these days, for good reason. The most horrific fate is that of the Israelis kidnapped in October 2023. Many have died; some are still in captivity.

Love God With All Your Heart Series

Contributed by John Dobbs on Oct 2, 2025

One person asked Jesus a question that I think is one of the most important questions one can ask. He was a teacher of the law. His question was one that should concern all of us: What is the greatest commandment?

LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART Introduction If you could sit down with Jesus and a cup of coffee, what would you most like to ask him? -Why is there suffering in the world? -What happens after death? -Why do bad things happen to good people? -What is the meaning or purpose of life? -Is there life ...read more

The Lord Is My Rock Series

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 3, 2025

This sermon proclaims that Psalm 18 is a fire-forged love song, showing how God transforms our cries of distress into deliverance and empowers us to live in confident victory through Christ our Rock.

Introduction: A Love Song Forged in Fire I want you to imagine the author of this psalm, David. Do not picture him sitting in a quiet, ornate study, penning poetry as a hobby. Picture a man whose hands are calloused from the sword and the shepherd's staff. Picture a man who knows the cold ...read more

The Faith That Shapes Us Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 14, 2025

Faith matures as we surrender to God’s shaping hands—trusting, obeying, and allowing His grace to form Christ’s likeness within us.

Introduction — From Saved to Shaped When we first meet Jesus, faith saves us. But when we keep walking with Him, faith begins to shape us. The same grace that opens the door of salvation now wants to renovate the house. God never intended faith to be a momentary flash of belief — He designed it ...read more

Unreasonably Reasonable

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 18, 2025

Our rational age has lost its reason; only faith reunites logic and love, restoring truth, humility, and genuine freedom.

Introduction – The Smartest Dumb Thing We’ve Ever Done I was sitting in a campus café a few months ago when I overheard a group of students arguing over whether coffee is technically a fruit juice. It started as a joke, but within five minutes one had pulled up research on the coffee cherry, ...read more

Don’t Poke The Lion

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 22, 2025

We humans are wrongly unafraid of God's fiercest creatures. Wisdom dictates we shouldn't "poke the lion." There are at least 3 lions in Scripture: the devil, the church, and the Son of God, Jesus.

DON’T POKE THE LION Num. 24:8-9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: SNORING IN CHURCH 1. A man went to see his doctor for advice about being cured of snoring. The doctor asked, “Does your snoring disturb your wife?” 2. The patient replied, “Does it disturb my wife? Why it disturbs the entire ...read more

Humbly Heartfelt

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025

Christ’s humility reveals heaven’s heart—God stooping in love. When His mind lives in us, pride dies, grace flows, and hearts rise.

I. The Heartbeat of Heaven There are moments in Scripture that let us overhear the heartbeat of heaven. Philippians 2 : 5-11 is one of them. It’s as if Paul pulls back the curtain and lets us listen to how God thinks and feels. It’s not thunder or trumpet—it’s the quiet pulse of divine ...read more

A Spirit Filled Church

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025

A Spirit-filled church receives the power of the Holy Spirit to witness for Christ, live in unity, and finish God’s final mission.

There is a picture of the church in the book of Acts that stands as both our history and our calling. It is a picture of a community awakened, empowered, and united by the Holy Spirit for the fulfillment of God’s final purpose in the world. Acts does not begin with a church capable of such a ...read more

The Ache For Meaning

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 29, 2025

Every human ache for meaning is the soul remembering its Maker—God’s embrace disguised as longing, inviting us home to relationship and rest

(When the Soul Remembers God) It began with a phone call. My oldest son’s voice was steady at first, then it trembled. He’s forty-one now—bright, competent, a systems manager for a defense company, respected by his peers. On paper, everything about his life says success. Yet that afternoon, ...read more
