    When the glory is gone and you find yourself in a dark place, yes, mourn, but don’t stop there. Repent—turn from your idols to Christ. Then hope—look forward to your restoration.

    Why Reaching The Top Still Feels So Empty

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 30, 2025
     | 69 views

    Success cannot heal the soul; only God’s whisper restores us. When we quit running, God meets us, feeds us, and makes us whole.

    Part One There are moments in life when you do everything right—moments when the victory is undeniable, the applause is loud, the outcome is clear—and yet something inside you feels strangely hollow. It’s bewildering. You should feel triumphant, settled, validated. But instead, the deepest parts ...read more

    What Does Jesus Write About Me?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 7, 2025
     | 26 views

    Jesus removes condemnation, restores dignity, and invites us into freedom. His grace breaks shame’s power and opens a future no accusation can steal.

    There are moments in life when the soul collapses under the weight of its own thoughts. We look in the mirror and see not a face but a failure, not a person but a problem. A knot forms inside us that no amount of effort can untie. Every word of encouragement slides off. Every accomplishment seems ...read more

    Why Did God Choose The Shepherds? Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 11, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,074 views

    Time and time again in the Scriptures, we see that God chooses the most unlikely candidates to serve him - David the shepherd to be king, fishermen to be apostles, and in this passage, the lowly shepherds to be the first to meet the newborn Christ child. Why?

    One of the things I enjoy most about Biblical narrative—that is, the historical accounts in the Old and New Testament—is how often God does something completely unexpected. These can be surprising, or revealing, or thought-provoking. And sometimes they’re quite funny, as when God gave Balaam’s ...read more

    based on 21 ratings
     | 6,754 views

    The thesis of this sermon is that pride is the root of all sin and must be confessed and surrendered to the cleansing power of Jesus.

    God’s Answer for Pride: Swallow It --Proverbs 16:18 --James 4:5-10 --Luke 18:9-14 In Shakespeare’s satiric tragedy on the Trojan War Troilus and Cressida the Greek General Agamemnon conjectures: He that is proud eats up himself; Pride is his own glass, his own trumpet, his own chronicle. . ...read more

    Put Away False God's Series

    based on 9 ratings
     | 15,227 views

    We are admonished to put away the false God’s from before us. Let us look at what God’s word tells us in light of this.

    Put Away False God’s God often allows the ungodly to amass great wealth--to their destruction. But if you are one with whom God is dealing and if you put the pursuit of riches (or anything else) before service to Christ, God may take away those riches (and other things) until you turn to Him. Some ...read more
