    "First, I preached my church empty, and then preached it full again."

    David Foster Wallace said, "The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you,” in other words, the truth has to be assimilated in your conscience before it can set you free. Stanley Hauerwas, of Duke Divinity school, says, in effect, that, when we don’t let the truth ...read more

    The Praying Prophet Series

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 1, 2022
     | 1,446 views

    Jonah prays from inside the great fish. When we realize that God wants us to accomplish something, we ought not to run.

    Fear the God – Respect 2:1-9 At the beginning of chapter 1, we see Jonah as The Protesting Prophet. He did not want to go to Nineveh as directed by God. It is noted in verse three that he “rose up to flee…from the Presence of the Lord.” Jonah had sinned by running from God. However, we can see ...read more

    Power Of Private Prayer Life

     | 3,124 views

    God is calling us to a life in the secret place because glorious things are meant for the secret place.

    The Word VEX means to Torment and Afflict. When the Devil sees that the Church does nothing about his activities, he finds a Comfort Zone. This means that when the Church is cold, Prayerless and without Fire, the church becomes a breeding place for the activities of the devil. The first targets ...read more

    Too Big For Us To Understand

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 7, 2025
     | 355 views

    Jesus, in His compassion for us mentally and spiritually wounded humans, used His Sacred Body in His ministry, and used material things in His contact with men and women.

    Friday after the Epiphany 2025 Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was descended from King David, as Matthew’s Gospel tells us, but more fundamentally, He was a real human being, a real man, ultimately the offspring of Adam and Eve. Luke’s Gospel, in the third chapter, takes us all the way back ...read more

    Why Church #5 Found In Freedom Series

    Contributed by Robert Malcolm on Jan 8, 2025
     | 526 views

    We are free when our lives are uncommitted, but not to be what we were intended to be. Real freedom is not freedom "from," but freedom "for."

    ~ Intro: … I have on my table a violin string... it is free. I twist one end of it and it responds. It is free. But it is not free to do what a violin string is supposed to do--produce music. So I take it, fix it in my violin and tighten it until it is taut. Only then is it free to be a violin ...read more

    What is spiritual rest?

    1. What are the author’s warnings? Let us fear (v. 1); let us labor (v. 11), let us hold fast (v. 14), let us come boldly (v. 16). 2. How does the apostle indicate his concern that some have false assurance? Come short of the promise (v. 1). 3. What had been the trouble with the Israelites of ...read more

     | 515 views

    If you don’t have enough personal goof-ups to occupy your repentant mind, how about repenting our national sins?

    Third Sunday of Easter 2024 Late in his life, St. John the Apostle wrote three letters from his exile to churches he directed in Asia, now a part of Turkey. He wants his Church families to live holy lives, and has spent his entire life to encourage other Christians in this mode. And he tells us ...read more

     | 389 views

    It is evident that the glory has departed from many churches and Christians. We need to be casting again.

    A history note, In the early days of this country Baptists were disliked because every time they spoke to someone they had "a scripture to cast in your teeth." Sadly, they have come a long way and the wrong way. For many years in ministry I have had to plead with Baptists to come to ...read more

    This sermon is about not just about parenting, but about stewardship of the future. We live in an age where the children among us—Generation Alpha—are growing up in a world unlike anything we ever knew. And yet the call of God remains the same across all generations

    Beloved, today I invite you into a timely and important conversation—one not just about parenting, but about stewardship of the future.

    The ritual and judicial commands of Torah encumber us. But we are not encumbered by the Ten Commandments--those words are for all humans

    Sixth Sunday of Easter 2025 I suppose if the church at Antioch were magically transported to the twenty-first century, Paul and Barnabas and some of the other Christian leaders might have been accused of anti-Semitism. That’s nonsense, of course, but it is true that when some Jewish Christians ...read more

    Friday of the Twenty-Third Week in Course 2025 Take a look at the opening prayer for our worship today.

    Let's Help The World Get "soaked In Christ."

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 7, 2025
     | 192 views

    We have died with Christ through our baptism, our “soaking” in Christ, and so we will live with Him. Persevering through life and suffering we will reign with Him.

    Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Course 2025 Every day we stand with the ten lepers of Luke’s Gospel, raising our voices in the Kyrie Eleison shouting “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us.” And in that prayer, if we truly repent of our many shortcomings, we are cleansed of every “venial” sin. With the one ...read more
