    Ephesus: When Faithfulness Outlives Love Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 26, 2026
     | 138 views

    Jesus speaks to faithful people whose love has thinned, not to shame them, but to invite a return to relationship.

    – First Part: Listening Posture Most of us don’t think of ourselves as drifting. Drift is what happens to other people — people who stopped caring, stopped believing, stopped trying. Drift feels dramatic from the outside. From the inside, it feels responsible. It feels like showing up, doing what ...read more

     | 126 views

    To build our lives on anything less than a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is the very height of madness.

    BUILDING ON THE ROCK. Matthew 7:21, Matthew 7:24-27. Mere profession of Jesus’ deity: “Lord, Lord” (Matthew 7:21) will not fit us for entry into “the kingdom of heaven.” The person who will “enter the kingdom of heaven,” says Jesus, is the one who “does the will of my Father which in ...read more

    The season of Lent is all about returning to God–a God who desires to be in a wonderful relationship with us.

    We are right now in the Lenten season of 2025 celebrating an ancient tradition symbolizing a believer’s humility before God. From the Ash Wednesday of this year we began to reflect on our attitudes, on our actions, and our priorities and have hopefully begun returning to God through repentance ...read more

    As Christ Loved The Church

    Contributed by Sylvan Finger on May 14, 2025
     | 333 views

    Theme: How does the image of marriage (according to Paul) show us the relationship between Christ and the church?

    O Lord, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. If you are asked to submit to someone, how do you picture this happening? You probably think of obeying someone who is above you. Someone who has more authority than you. ...read more

    Following Christ can bring division in relationships, but it is important to remain faithful and trust in Jesus' honesty and guidance.

    Bring in a rope and have two volunteers come up. Have them hold the rope, one on each end, and explain that the rope represents our relationships. When we follow Jesus, sometimes it can cause tension and division in our relationships, like when we pull the rope tight. But Jesus is with us through ...read more

    To grow in our relationship with Christ, we must identify and let go of the emotional baggage that hinders us.

    Hey God, help us to drop the stuff that's slowing us down and messing with our relationship with you. Show us how to swap out the bad stuff for the good stuff you've got for us. In Jesus' name, Amen! You know how it feels when you're carrying a heavy backpack all day? It's exhausting, right? Well, ...read more

    This sermon explores the challenge of distractions in our pursuit of a relationship with Jesus, using the story of Mary and Martha as a guide.

    Are You A Mary or A Martha? Now as they were traveling along, Jesus entered a village and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

    From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture assumes and declares that God is real. Whether we believe in Him or not does not change His reality—only our opportunity to know Him.

    Not neccesarily just an Easter message. Even with all of the wondrous signs that the close followers of Jesus had observed, they were still without understanding of what Jesus had come to do. We suffer much the same.
