Peacemakers

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 30, 2020

The Lord has called us to live in peace AND He has called us to be peacemakers as well. What is a peacemaker? What does a peacemaker do? How can I become a peacemaker? Will God help me be a peacemaker?

Faith And Evidence Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Vivek Gundimi on Oct 12, 2020

Today we are going to look at another shelter of faith which can help withstand all calamities of life leading a Christian to move forward in God’s will despite the extremity of an existential life.

Faith and Evidence Joshua 2:8-18 Introduction: This month we focus on the theme, “Shelters of faith”. Experientially it means that faith needs to be sheltered, faith needs to come under the banner of a refuge - so to speak.

The Wisest Investments

Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 6, 2026

No one would want to come to the end of their life knowing that they had wasted their time and energy and that their live were not fruitful. Jesus confronts us to rethink our priorities and not waste our opportunities to invest in that which really matters.

Last week, we talked about what we wrap our hopes around. This week, we turn our attention to another foundational question: What are the wisest investments we can make for the future? Not just financial—but spiritual, relational, and eternal investments. Let’s read Matthew 6:19–24 19 “Do not ...read more

The Disastrous Effects Of Impatience Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on May 21, 2023

From Although To Yet

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 21, 2025

Based on the prophet Habakkuk's journey from honest complaint to unshakable praise, this sermon explores how faith can find joy not by denying suffering, but by making a radical choice to rejoice in God even when everything has fallen apart.

From Barren Fields to High Places: The Unshakable Joy of Faith Text: Habakkuk 3:17-19 Introduction: A Prophet's Honest Struggle I want to invite you into the world of a man who was not afraid to argue with God.

Jesus Napped

Contributed by William Thompson on Aug 24, 2025

The Bible gives us a beautiful, almost humorous detail about Jesus: He took naps.

How many of you would say you’re tired right now? (Pause, let hands raise and smiles show.) We live in a world that celebrates exhaustion. We wear busyness like a badge of honor. • We brag about how little sleep we got last night: “I only slept four hours, but I still made it to work.” • We ...read more

You Can Get There From Here

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 9, 2025

Hezekiah’s revival shows that true renewal begins with repentance — a turning from sin and toward God that opens the floodgates of divine mercy.

Sometimes revival comes in such gradual ways. Without even realizing when it all began, we find ourselves enjoying the spiritual blessings and joy that revival brings. Sometimes revival comes in response to conflict, or persecution, or maybe tragedy. Our complacency, our apathy, is shattered by ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 43 – Princes Were Abused And Young Men Forced Into Harsh Servitude By Ruthless Babylon - Lamentations 5:12-13 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 10, 2025

The description of horrible conditions continues, this time with degrading action against the princes, and terrible forced labour upon the young men. A conquering army often forces humiliation on the defeated people and treats them terribly. Symptomatic of a sinful world.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 43 – PRINCES WERE ABUSED AND YOUNG MEN FORCED INTO HARSH SERVITUDE BY RUTHLESS BABYLON - Lamentations 5:12-13 The subject matter of Lamentations is not pleasant in most of its content, which is probably why it is rarely preached on, or taught. Here in chapter 5 we ...read more
