    Love Won’t Walk By

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 25, 2025
     | 98 views

    Loving Christians refuse to walk past suffering; they see, feel, and act with Christlike compassion that changes lives for eternity.

    It was just after sunset on a chilly evening in Chicago. The streets pulsed with life—horns, footsteps, laughter, rushing commuters. The Michigan Avenue Bridge glittered with lights reflecting off the black water below. Thousands passed across it every hour. But on this particular night, one man ...read more

    Truly Following Jesus Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 18, 2025
     | 330 views

    There are a variety of reasons why some people follow Jesus - some for benefits, some to slander, some to argue, some bandwagon followers, but what does it take to be a true follower of Jesus?

    It seems like nearly every week I run into people who have some sort of faith. They say that believe in Jesus or at least call themselves Christians, but don’t attend a church. Their faith is very personal, private, and even comfortable. They choose to follow Jesus on their terms, as long as He ...read more

    The Name You Can Rely On Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 2, 2025
     | 369 views

    Jesus stepped in, not to handle something minor, but to take on our greatest need—our separation from God. His sacrifice doesn’t just make life “nicer.” It changes everything. Do you see Jesus as someone who did you a small favor or as your Savior who paid your greatest debt?

    Several decades ago, Gary Campman wrote about five love languages. They are words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts. These five love languages describe different ways people give and receive love. Each of us has a primary love language, and often, ...read more

    The Gift Of The Thorn

    Contributed by Dasol Kang on Sep 20, 2025

     | 492 views

    Sometimes the greatest gifts God gives us are the weaknesses we would never choose for ourselves.

    INTRO If we took an inventory of everything that we say in our prayers, we would likely find that the vast majority of our prayers fall into one of two simple prayers. The first category is the “Gimmie” prayer. You know the “gimmie” prayer well. “Lord, gimme that parking spot right up front. And ...read more

    Reaping What You Sow

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Sep 27, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 609 views

    This sermon explores how every thought, word, and action sows seeds that lead to a spiritual harvest—whether of destruction through lust, fear, and pride, or of eternal life through repentance, obedience, and walking in the Spirit—urging believers to live purposefully, sowing for the glory of God.

    Sowing Seeds, Reaping Consequences 2 Samuel 11-12; Numbers 29:7-12; Numbers 13-14; Galatians 6:8 Does it really matter how we live our lives? Each morning, we rise to meet a new day—each one filled with its own challenges, decisions, and divine opportunities. Like many of you, I begin ...read more

    We Are In Christ And Christ Is Within Us

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 2, 2025

     | 343 views

    The Bible in several locations mentions we are IN CHRIST as believers. • Galatians 3:26 • I Peter 5:14 • Romans 8:1 • Colossians 3:3

    What does this mean we are IN CHRIST? Because we cannot stand in these sinful mortal bodies before a holy God of heaven, He has to clothe us in the sinless body of Christ. • In II Cor. 5:21 when we accept His sacrifice on our behalf, that is we give Him our filthy righteous and He gives us His ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 184 views

    Faithful, unseen service and prayer in everyday life have eternal significance, as God values and uses every act of obedience for His lasting purposes.

    Some of us come in today with calloused hands and tired hearts. You’ve folded laundry at midnight, sat beside hospital beds, raised kids and grandkids, held a flashlight while someone else turned the wrench. You’ve prayed through storms and sung through tears. And maybe, just maybe, you’ve ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 67 views

    God’s grace offers healing and new life to discouraged, sinful hearts—not by our efforts, but by looking in faith to Christ, our only remedy.

    Some of us walked in today with sand in our souls. The week felt long, the road uneven. You’ve prayed, but the words sounded thin. You’ve tried to keep a sunny outlook, but the clouds rolled in anyway. Discouragement can be a quiet snake in the grass—one nip of cynicism, a bite of bitterness, and ...read more

     | 100 views

    God invites us to surrender our old ways, receive a new heart, and experience true transformation through His Spirit and renewing our minds.

    Some mornings feel like reruns. Same burdens. Same battles. Same buttons being pushed by the same people. You wake up with good intentions, yet old habits hang on like heavy coats in summer. You want to change. You’ve promised to change. You’ve tried to change. Still, the mirror shows yesterday’s ...read more

     | 140 views

    Through Christ’s finished work, believers receive victory over sin and struggle—not by their own strength, but by trusting in God’s love and grace.

    Some days the world feels like a bully with a bigger backpack. The bills stack up, the headlines grow heavier, and our hearts carry aches we never signed up for. You try to pray, and words get stuck behind a lump in your throat. You sit in church with a polite smile, but your soul wonders, Is ...read more

    God lovingly confronts our misplaced affections and hollow celebrations, calling us to honest repentance and deeper relationship, offering restoration instead of shame.

    If your week has worn thin and your soul feels tired, welcome. You’re in the right place. God meets us in the ordinary and the overwhelmed. He meets us in the pew and in the parking lot, in the headlines and in the heartache. And He has a word for us today—steady, strong, and sure. Have you ever ...read more

    God meets us in every pain with real comfort, inviting us to receive his presence and share that comfort with others in their suffering.

    There are weeks when our hearts feel thin. We sit at kitchen tables and stare at cold coffee. We stand in hospital halls and count ceiling tiles. We scroll through old texts, listening for a voice that no longer answers. Grief sits quietly in the corner like an unwelcome guest. Worry hums like an ...read more
