How To Know Whose Child You Are

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Aug 5, 2024

Be careful whose child you seem to be. If we want to be considered as God's children, then we had better act like it.

The Mind That Holds Us Together

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 23, 2026

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

Unfollow Me Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 23, 2025

Jesus calls us to unfollow the voices that hurt us and follow Him into peace, identity, courage, and a life of true belonging.

There is a strange paradox in the way we speak today. We live in an age with more freedom than any previous generation — more information, more options, more mobility, more personal expression. Yet even with all this freedom, we are more anxious, more fragmented, more exhausted, and more confused ...read more

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 13 – The Lord’s Conditions For Those Of Jeremiah’s Time And In The Tribulation Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 22, 2024

Chapter 4 begins with the LORD setting the conditions on Israel's return. It will apply in the Tribulation because the offer was rejected in Jeremiah’s time. We look carefully at Matthew 24 as it speaks of the same time. God’s word is interwoven.

The Danger Of Pride

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 7, 2025

Whenever we accomplish something good, it is only natural to have a positive emotional reaction. There is nothing wrong with celebrating an achievement, but there is a darker side to pride that can be ugly.

Double Blessing - The Attitude Of Gratitude Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon explores the concept of gratitude and blessings, likening it to a game of Hide the Thimble where one must seek out and recognize the blessings in their life.

The Prayer Of Jabez

Every believer is called to reap the harvest by using spiritual gifts God has given.

What a privilege and honor to be called and used by God to do His will. Our calling is not to put our focus on this earth, nor is it to make the world a better place.
