  • Drawn To The Light Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 17, 2026
     | 196 views

    The light of Christ does not eliminate darkness, but restores orientation—revealing what is true when perception is distorted and certainty feels misleading.

    Night flying has its own unique challenges. During the day, a pilot has constant reference points. The horizon. The ground. Landmarks that quietly tell you where you are in relation to everything else. At night, many of those references disappear. You can still fly. The aircraft still responds. ...read more

  • The Silence Is Broken Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 17, 2026
     | 185 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

  • Walking In The Light Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 18, 2026
     | 152 views

    Walking in the light means remaining oriented toward Christ, trusting references, abiding near Him when clarity fades and darkness surrounds.

    Night flying has its own unique challenges. During the day, a pilot has constant reference points — the horizon, the ground, landmarks that quietly tell you where you are in relation to everything else. At night, many of those references disappear. You can still fly. The aircraft still responds. ...read more

  • Are You "pro-Life"?

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 18, 2026
     | 204 views

    Having a truly pro-life perspective means valuing and being concerned about all people at all stages of life regardless of nationality, ethnicity, orientation, ability, or anything else.

    A. In 1985, a professor at the Illinois Medical School in Chicago decided to determine the value of a human being. 1. He began with a chemical analysis of the human body. 2. The average adult human body is made up of 5 pounds of calcium, 1.5 pounds of phosphorous, 9 ounces of potassium, 6 ...read more

  • The Load-Bearing Wall

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 19, 2026
     | 231 views

    As intelligence expands through AI and knowledge explodes, reason gives way to cynicism, revealing confusion about meaning, limits, and where trust belongs.

    We live in an age that is quietly intoxicated with intelligence. Not wisdom—intelligence. We live with the assumption, often unspoken but deeply embedded, that if a problem can be solved, it will be solved by someone smarter than us… or by a system smarter than them. We trust models. We trust data. ...read more

  • No Longer Hiding: From Shame To Belonging

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
     | 156 views

    The gospel restores belonging before behavior, covering shame with presence so hiding loses its necessity and transformation grows from safety.

    Most of us think we know what the problem is. We think the problem is sin. Or disobedience. Or failure. Or a lack of discipline. Or not trying hard enough. Scripture does not ignore them. Very early in the biblical story—before commandments, before systems, before religion is fully formed—the ...read more

  • Come And Eat

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
     | 132 views

    The risen Christ meets disoriented, ashamed people with presence, restores fellowship through shared life, and invites us to belong again at the table.

    Part 1 — Hunger and Disorientation There is a particular kind of confusion that comes after everything you hoped for has already happened. It is not the confusion of despair. It is not the confusion of disbelief. It is the confusion of now what? That is where John 21 begins. The resurrection has ...read more

  • The Bride And The Other Woman

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
     | 148 views

    Revelation contrasts two postures of faith: faithful love that waits for Christ, and religious power that bargains, manages, and uses God instead.

    We tend to feel safest when spiritual arguments stay at a distance. If the question is about systems, we can observe. If it’s about denominations, we can analyze. If it’s about institutions, we can debate. Those are comfortable conversations. They let us think clearly without being personally ...read more

  • Girded Saints

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
     | 103 views

    Girding precedes armor; readiness begins with being held together so faithfulness can endure pressure without collapse.

    There is a kind of readiness that feels loud. It announces itself. It comes with urgency, energy, momentum. People speak faster. Plans multiply. Language sharpens. For a long time, many of us assumed that kind of readiness was faithfulness. If someone was energized, they must be ready. If ...read more

  • God’s Love Is For Giving: A Confessional Sermon On John 3:16

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 181 views

    John 3:16 reveals a love that gives before we act, inviting weary believers to stop striving, receive grace, and rest in God.

    Have you ever wondered why you don’t often hear sermons preached on John 3:16? I don’t mean references to it. I don’t mean quoting it in passing. I mean a full sermon—sitting with it, staying with it, letting it speak. At first, that sounds strange. Because John 3:16 is everywhere. Many of us ...read more

  • You Can’t Become What You Can’t See

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 21, 2026
     | 212 views

    Believers live between real sight and coming glory, changed not by striving but by beholding Christ, as salvation moves us toward full vision. If you are forgiven, faithful, and fatigued, your faith has not failed — your heart is longing for glory.

    A while back, I noticed something strange about my phone. I was trying to take a picture in low light — nothing dramatic, just an ordinary moment — and what appeared on the screen didn’t quite match what I was seeing with my eyes. The image was flat. Grainy. Faces lost their depth. Colors were ...read more

  • Life The Grave Could Not Keep

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 22, 2026
     | 201 views

    Death interrupts life, but God confronts it directly, restores what was lost, and promises a future where the grave does not prevail.

    (A message centered on life, not escape.) Death is not something most of us think about very often—until it interrupts us. It interrupts a conversation that wasn’t finished. A relationship that still had words left unsaid. A life that was still in the middle of becoming something. Death rarely ...read more

  • The Mind That Holds Us Together

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 23, 2026
     | 148 views

    Unity is not preserved by control or agreement, but by shared orientation toward Christ, whose humility frees us from grasping and teaches us how to trust. Unity does not hold when we try harder to manage one another — it holds when we remain oriented toward Christ and trust God with the outcome.

    Introduction — When Unity Becomes Fragile There are moments in the life of a church when unity doesn’t collapse dramatically. It doesn’t split. It doesn’t fracture publicly. No one storms out. No vote is taken. No announcement is made. It simply… thins. The room still fills. The hymns are still ...read more

  • When Friendship Costs You

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 23, 2026
     | 106 views

    Covenant friendship shifts the center from me to thee, revealing a Christlike love that releases control, bears cost, and carries the atmosphere of heaven.

    There are friendships that come easily. They form around shared interests, shared seasons, shared benefits. They feel natural. They feel mutual. And most of the time, they ask very little of us. But Scripture shows us another kind of friendship— one that does not reveal itself when everything is ...read more

  • Making Mountains Out Of Molehills

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 24, 2026
     | 154 views

    Small, unattended permissions become spiritual strongholds, but through Christ, every entrenched lie and pattern can be confronted, dismantled, and replaced with freedom.

    Most of the damage we do to our spiritual lives does not begin with big sins or dramatic failures. It begins with small things we underestimate. A reaction we excuse. A habit we postpone dealing with. A thought we repeat often enough that it starts to feel true. We tell ourselves, “This is ...read more
