    Trusting Jesus, not our own strength, enables us to persevere through life’s burdens, as He carries us and completes our faith journey.

    Friend, if your shoulders feel a bit slumped today, if your breath is a bit short and your steps a bit slow, you’re in the right place. You’re in a sanctuary where God knows how tired feet feel and how heavy hearts carry what no one else sees. You’re seen, you’re loved, and you’re not forgotten. ...read more

     | 108 views

    This sermon urges us to quiet life’s noise, discern truth from deception, and pursue purity and integrity in our homes and hearts through God’s guidance.

    If you’ve ever stood in a room where a dozen radios are on at once, you know the feeling of fatigue that follows. Voices everywhere. Opinions everywhere. Promises that sound pleasant but leave you empty. Maybe your week has felt that way. Maybe your home has heard more noise than nourishment, more ...read more

    God invites ordinary people to partner with Him, building lives of lasting significance through faithful service, rooted in Christ and empowered by His presence.

    Some mornings I picture the Father handing us a hard hat and a pair of work gloves, smiling as if to say, “Come with Me. Let’s build something beautiful.” Can you see it? The sun coming up over a field that’s waiting for seed, a foundation ready for bricks, and God inviting ordinary people—people ...read more

    Faithful parenting means prioritizing what truly matters—raising children to love God and others—through steady, loving discipline and reliance on God’s guidance and grace.

    If you’ve ever picked up a forgotten lunchbox at the end of the day and discovered a science project growing inside, or tried to pray while a toddler plays percussion on pots and pans, you’re in good company. Parenting feels like herding hummingbirds—beautiful, jittery, and fast. From sippy cups to ...read more

    This sermon basically is a running commentary on a Reformation Sunday talking about how God delivered Daniel through faith.

    October 30, 2005 Daniel 6:10-12, 16-23 - Reformation Sermon Daniel 6:10-12 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, Daniel was one of three administrators under King Darius of the Medes and the Persians.

    This message recognizes our Church's upcoming 99th anniversary. In this message I used the old gospel sonmg "We've Come This Far By Faith" to illustrate the continued journey of this Church.

    You’ve Come This Far By Faith! Scripture: Second Corinthians 5:7; Proverbs 3:5-6; James 1:12 Good morning Strangers Rest.

    Paul’s final journey begins with his arrest in Jerusalem, defending himself and God to his accusers, and a rough voyage across tumultuous seas to Rome. Paul never gave up hope or stopped sharing his message of God’s grace and love.

     | 337 views

    The sermon emphasizes steadfast obedience to God amid cultural pressures, highlighting how consistent faithfulness and convictions can leave a lasting legacy and honor God.

    Some families pass down recipes, some pass down stories, some pass down the old pocketknife with a smooth handle and a history. The Rechabites passed down a way to walk with God. Simple. Steady. Set like wet cement that hardened into holy habit. And in a world that shifts and shouts and sells ...read more

     | 127 views

    True worship begins with surrender at God’s altar, where we lay down our lives and receive grace through Christ’s ultimate sacrifice.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides the tired places of the soul. Some of us carried questions that feel too heavy to say out loud. And some of us came hungry for hope, like parched ground waiting for rain. Friend, you are seen. You are welcome. You are loved. In this moment, with ...read more

     | 74 views

    True freedom is found in honoring God with our bodies, embracing His loving authority, and living as temples of the Holy Spirit.

    Friends, take a deep breath of grace today. You are seen. You are loved. You are wanted by the God who fashioned you—mind, heart, and body. He cares about all of you, and He cares right now. For some of us, the word body brings a flurry of feelings—shame from the past, confusion from the present, ...read more

    Prayer is our refuge in anxiety, inviting God’s peace and strength to guard our hearts and renew us amid life’s worries and uncertainties.

    Some of us walked in today with a knot in the stomach and a weight on the chest. Worry whispers at 3 a.m., bills pile on the counter, diagnoses arrive in sterile envelopes, and the what-ifs line up like storm clouds on the horizon. Our hearts try to outrun our thoughts, and our thoughts try to ...read more

    God’s presence transforms His house and people, inviting us to deeper prayer, reverence, and dedication as we become a welcoming home for Him.

    There is a hush that falls over the soul when you remember that God makes a home among His people. Not a far-off fortress, not a sterile sanctuary, but a home—where His name rests, where His eyes watch, where His heart abides. Think about that. The Maker of mountains sets His affection on a house ...read more
