The Israelites thought of the Ark as a talisman, a charm. The Philistines thought they had captured the God of the Israelites. Both were wrong. We're going to see how God's presence is 1). sacred, 2). brings judgment, and 3). requires decision.

In SW Asia in the early 1800’s there was a country where once a year, the priests took their idol out of their temple – which they considered a god – and paraded the deity around the city and then took it back to its ...read more

You Are Invited R.s.v.p.

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 11, 2025

This message proclaims God’s gracious invitation to salvation, pictured in Jesus’ parable of the wedding feast. It calls hearers to accept the free gift of Christ’s righteousness—the wedding garment—and to live daily in surrendered fellowship.

Introduction: The Search and the Invitation Picture the best church potluck you’ve ever attended. The tables sag under the weight of steaming casseroles, fragrant breads, fruit and desserts that dare you to try “just one bite.” Everyone brings something, but nobody goes hungry. Now imagine the ...read more

The Voice That Rules The Heart Series

Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Feb 28, 2026

Psalm 36 shows that when the voice of sin blinds and flatters the human heart, the limitless covenant love of God—fulfilled in Jesus Christ as our Fountain of Life, Light of the world, and sheltering wings—rescues, restores, and reigns.

Psalm 36 - The Voice That Rules the Heart Introduction: Psalm 36 begins in an unexpected place. It does not begin with praise. It does not begin with prayer. It begins with a voice. “An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked…” David says something is preaching. Not ...read more

Remembering God’s past faithfulness anchors our present trust; every stone of memory becomes a living testimony of enduring faith in Him.

The Test Of A Stranger Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Watch Joseph’s strategy here. Joseph is alternating the sun and the frost in order to break the brothers open to God. When things alternate between really hot and really cold, it breaks things. It breaks the ground.

We’ve called Joseph’s life a roller-coaster… … where his dips included two years of languishing in prison and eleven years of slavery. And we meet him in today’s story, he’s been promoted over the world empire, Egypt, and second only to Pharaoh inside the world’s most important nation of the time. ...read more
