    Live Out Thy Life Within Me Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025
     | 173 views

    Dying daily is surrendering control so Christ’s life may flow freely—trusting His Spirit, not our feelings, to guide every moment.

    1. When the Pilot Lets Go Faith is learning to fly with someone else’s hands on the controls. You can’t see everything. You can’t always feel what’s happening. And the day comes when the Spirit says, “You’ve got it,” and suddenly you realize He’s teaching you to trust—not to steer. The apostle ...read more

    Jesus was crucified between two thieves. One of the thieves mocked Jesus, but the other thief rebuked him. Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:42-43). In this sermon, we will ...read more

    Even in our darkest moments of despair and depression, God is with us, providing strength and sustenance, and it's the knowledge of His love that can pull us through.

    Good morning, family. Today, we're going to be diving deep into a part of Scripture that isn't often discussed but is so relevant in our world today. We're going to be talking about the reality of depression, the power of faith, and the strength of pushing on. Charles Spurgeon once said, "I find ...read more

     | 124 views

    God’s power and presence remain active today, inviting us to trust Him in hardship, pray boldly, and expect miracles even in ordinary moments.

    Some days faith feels thin as fog. You stand at the kitchen sink with a coffee cup and a knot in your stomach. You sit in the waiting room and study the floor tile as if it could talk back. You lie awake and watch the red glow of the clock turn minutes into miles. In moments like these, we need ...read more

     | 177 views

    True revival is living daily in the Spirit’s righteousness, peace, and joy, letting God’s love transform ordinary moments and relationships into Kingdom life.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that’s doing a lot of work. Bills stack up, headlines shout, and our own hearts whisper old worries with new volume. And yet, into that ache comes a whisper stronger than worry: the King is here, and where the King is, joy begins to sing. Not a thin grin, not ...read more

    God’s constant presence brings hope and steadiness in our darkest, most anxious moments, reminding us that His light always shines and overcomes.

    Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache we can’t quite name. Sleep came late. Worry came early. Headlines are heavy, homes feel hurried, and hearts can feel hollowed out by the constant ache of a hard week. We carry questions to our pews: Will the light hold? Will hope last? Does God really ...read more

    A sermon for an Easter Sunrise Service.

    “From Fear to Faith” Matthew 28:1-10 Let’s all think about this for a second? What are you afraid of? What is your biggest fear? What causes you, at least every once in a while, to wake up in the middle of the night, heart racing, mind going a million miles an hour? What is that ...read more

    What are we to make of the Resurrection?

    “The Hinge of History” John 20:1-18 In my mom’s house there is a map of the history of the world, and it’s a BIG map. It wasn’t created by a specifically Christian publishing house; I believe it was put out by National Geographic, and fairly recently. Anyhow, on this map, the history of the ...read more

    Jesus shares illustrations to show that his return will be sudden and unexpected. His call on us is to be ready at any moment. The First Sunday of Advent reminds us that Jesus came, and Jesus is coming again!

    Matthew 24:36-44 Maintaining Readiness The military has a readiness system of green, amber and red, to illustrate threat levels we might face at any given time.

    Faith and reasoning can work together but reasoning alone can be a faith destroyer. Faith must be stretched and exercised and be put into action. Anything less is dead faith.

    Sowing Seeds; Life, Faith, and Service Sermon #4 Building and maintaining faith Introduction- We are still in the sermon series Sowing Seeds; Life, Faith, and Service.

    Faith: What It Ain't—what It Is

    This passage in Hebrews gives us the ingredients, implications and illustrations of faith. By defining what faith isn’t, we can learn what true faith is.

    The eleventh chapter of Hebrews is one of the best known of the great chapters of the Bible. It has been called the “Westminster Abby of Scripture” because the heroes of faith are enshrined here. Perhaps that is a misnomer, for some people who have been to Westminster Abby and have said it seemed ...read more
