     | 1,086 views

    On the topic of pure religion and our interactions with other people, James addresses the topic of favoritism.

    Mean Girls and Bullies Are a common theme in the movies and entertainment in part because… It is a part of human nature - to be accepted and to be close to people who can help us get ahead. In school that might look like working your way into the crowd of cool kids - even if that means ...read more

    Restore Me To Joy

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 10, 2026
     | 330 views

    Revival begins not when we try harder, but when we see God as gracious and allow the joy of salvation to be restored.

    There is a difference between being lost and being tired. And if we don’t recognize that difference, we will keep speaking the wrong word to the wrong people. Many people in church today are not lost. They are not rebellious. They are not angry at God. They are not trying to run away. They are ...read more

    The Silence Is Broken Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 17, 2026
     | 194 views

    The universe is not silent. Jesus Christ has been lifted up, and the voice of God now stands over every life as revealed meaning, not self-created purpose.

    The modern world tells us a story. It rarely announces it out loud. It doesn’t need to. It simply assumes it — and we absorb it by living inside it. The story says the universe is ultimately quiet. That there is no voice behind it. No intention beneath it. No meaning given — only meaning made. We ...read more

    John 3:16 is one of the most loved verses in all the Bible. There's more to the story, though.

    The Story Behind John 3:16 Introduction: There’s no greater love anyone can express beyond what our Lord Jesus Christ did for us. “John 3:16” has been used as a graphic (remember seeing football and other fans wearing vests with that reference on them?) and a quote.

    The Kingdom Is Like... PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 112 views

    God works powerfully through small, unnoticed beginnings; our efforts and prayers matter because His presence transforms the ordinary into something eternally significant.

    Friends, if we had coffee together this morning and you told me you felt small, overmatched, or unnoticed, I’d nod and say, “You’re in good company.” Jesus often started with small things—a seed in the palm of a hand, a pinch of yeast tucked into dough, a field under a wide sky. He meets us in ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 209 views

    True revival is living daily in the Spirit’s righteousness, peace, and joy, letting God’s love transform ordinary moments and relationships into Kingdom life.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that’s doing a lot of work. Bills stack up, headlines shout, and our own hearts whisper old worries with new volume. And yet, into that ache comes a whisper stronger than worry: the King is here, and where the King is, joy begins to sing. Not a thin grin, not ...read more

     | 163 views

    Abiding in Jesus, not striving, is the source of true spiritual fruitfulness; staying connected to Him transforms our lives and shapes our prayers.

    If you walked in tired, tangled, and trying to hold it all together, you are in good company. Life can feel like a crowded trellis—obligations climbing, expectations twisting, emotions wrapping around us in every direction. Some of us carry quiet questions: Am I growing? Is anything lasting coming ...read more

     | 250 views

    God’s mercy through Christ’s resurrection gives us living hope, transforming our weariness and shame into courage, renewal, and confident expectation for the future.

    There are mornings when hope feels like a whisper in the wind—soft, steady, surprising. You wake up with a to-do list longer than your energy and a heart that wonders, Will anything change? Then you catch a memory of God’s kindness—a prayer answered when you had no words left, a friend’s hand in ...read more

     | 296 views

    God’s presence makes the impossible possible; when we reach our limits, we can trust His power and faithfulness to carry us through every challenge.

    Some of us walked in today with a tight throat and a tired heart. The week has been long. The bills stack up, the headlines hit hard, and the calendar doesn’t care that your energy is on empty. You’ve prayed for the prodigal until your words feel worn. You’ve watched the doctor’s face for good news ...read more
