Dying To Know

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025

Death is not the end; when Christ’s trumpet sounds, God’s love and power will open every grave and restore life.

A passerby, unwilling to let the rhyme have the last word, pulled out a black marker and added: > To follow you, I’m not content, until I know just where you went. That small dialogue between chisel and marker captures the universal question. Everyone who has ever wandered through a graveyard ...read more

The Greatest Comeback In History Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

The sermon explores the concept of Jesus' statement "it is finished" on the cross, emphasizing that it was not a declaration of defeat, but a proclamation of victory over sin and death.

When Jesus said “it is finished”, as He hung on the cross, He gave up His spirit and He died. To many, this may have seemed like a defeat. The Evil One thought he had finished Jesus. The Roman soldiers thought they had finished Jesus. The religious elite thought that they had finished Jesus. ...read more

Righteous

Part 2: The Refiner's Fire (Divine Refinement And Trust) Series

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 20, 2026

In the last sermon, we explored the mystery of God's hiddenness. We acknowledged that God is often silent and our hearts cry out for Him to speak. But silence, we learned, does not mean absence. God is hidden from our perception, but not withdrawn from His work.

Today, we turn to perhaps the most difficult question of all. If God is silent and yet still working, what exactly is He doing? What is the purpose of the silence? Why does God allow us to walk through seasons where prayer seems unanswered, where Scripture feels distant, where we cannot sense His ...read more

The Center That Holds

Contributed by Scott Carmer on Apr 24, 2005
