A Tale From The Crypt Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 19, 2025

When Jesus called Lazarus from the tomb, he wasn't just offering him life, he was giving him freedom.

It was so dark, and so cold. He had no idea where he was, how long he had been there or what he was supposed to be doing. The last thing he remembered was being at home in bed. He had been sick; nobody knew what to do or even what was wrong. The doctors had come and gone leaving behind potions and ...read more

The Temple Of Doom

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 18, 2025

The original Temple of Doom has nothing to do with Indiana Jones, but with the biblical Hercules SAMSON, who, despite blindness, with one blow, took out more Philistines in his death than in his life!

The Audacious Love Of Emmanuel

Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Dec 12, 2025

Church, we're in the season of Advent, and this week we're talking about love. But we're not talking about the kind of love that shows up when it's convenient. We're not talking about the love that sends a greeting card or leaves a casserole on the porch.

Opening Prayer Gracious and loving God, we come before you in this season of waiting and wonder. Open our hearts to receive your Word today. Quiet the noise around us and within us. Let your Holy Spirit move among us now, that we might hear not just with our ears, but with our souls. Speak, Lord, ...read more

Six Trees

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Jan 1, 2026

An Advent journey through the whole story of the bible from Genesis to Revelation - by using six trees from the Bible

In the wilderness a voice splits open the wind, a hard cry— REPENT Even now the axe gleams, lying at the root of the trees, cold as truth, waiting for the weight of a just hand. Every tree that bears no good fruit leans already toward its ending, toward the fire that hungers for what has hollowed ...read more

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 9, 2025

True greatness is found in serving others with everyday acts of kindness, recognizing and loving Jesus in the overlooked and ordinary people around us.

A text sent at midnight that says, “I’m here.” He has a way of walking into our Mondays and Market Streets, our waiting rooms and ...read more

Christ calls us to shine His light in everyday life, so that our actions reflect His love and guide others toward God’s glory.

Some nights feel too dark. The text pings at midnight. The doctor’s tone is flat. The worry refuses to sleep. Yet even in a midnight room, a small nightlight steadies a child.
