    Sometimes the message of the Gospel is as difficult for others to believe as a magical world beyond the wardrobe.

    In the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, the wardrobe represents the barrier to belief. Beyond the back of that cabinet lay a magical world in which humans could be heroes and the fantastic was true. Lucy goes into the wardrobe and finds the back of it a gateway to a wonderful place called Narnia. ...read more

    Paul preached about God’s grace whereas his opponents preached contrary to Paul’s message arguing that the law required circumcision. Why would a prisoner who has been granted freedom want to return to prison?

    FREEDOM AND THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT Text: Galatians 5:1, 13-26 Galatians 5:1, 13-16:  For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.  …  (13)  For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as ...read more

    The Ache For Meaning

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 29, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 161 views

    Every human ache for meaning is the soul remembering its Maker—God’s embrace disguised as longing, inviting us home to relationship and rest

    (When the Soul Remembers God) It began with a phone call. My oldest son’s voice was steady at first, then it trembled. He’s forty-one now—bright, competent, a systems manager for a defense company, respected by his peers. On paper, everything about his life says success. Yet that afternoon, ...read more

    All Christians should discipline themselves spiritually like athletes training for a contest.

    In business, school, athletics, you name it – those who succeed are those who discipline themselves to perform the tasks that are necessary for success. And the same is true in our spiritual lives. Although we celebrate the fact that our salvation is not something we can earn – it’s important for ...read more

    How To Keep Going When You Can’t Go On 2 Cor. 4:1-18 I believe my sermon title tonight would be called a oxymoron. It doesn’t hardly make sense does it. Yet, there are times when we must keep going when we just feel like we can’t. Have you ever said, " I just don’t know how ...read more

    Are you willing to go where God sends you and speak and act in his name? It all boils down to a matter of trust.

    Have you ever had an occasion where you thought that your faith was being tested, especially in unusual circumstances? If so, you’re not alone. Sometimes God uses unusual circumstances to test a person’s faith. For example, in 1 Kings 17:8-24 he told Elijah to go to an unlikely ...read more

     | 2,190 views

    Paul's assessment of himself was that he was unworthy of God's grace. However, Christ is merciful; He will receive anyone who comes to Him in faith, even those who are full of themselves.

    “Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh—though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also.
