     | 125 views

    When life falls apart, faith refuses to panic, seeks God’s strength and guidance, and trusts Him to restore what’s been lost.

    Some days smell like smoke. The kind of day when you pull into the driveway and something feels off. The porch light is on, but peace is off. The phone rings, the doctor calls, the boss texts, the door closes—and your heart drops. The room looks the same, but everything has changed. Ashes in the ...read more

    This sermon calls us to honest, wholehearted living before God, trusting His grace to free us from pretense and form a sincere, holy community.

    Friends, some stories hush a room. They slip in like a soft wind and stir the curtains of the soul. Acts 5 is one of those stories. It starts with open hands and generous hearts in the early church, and then a sudden stillness falls. Have you ever smiled on the outside while your soul flinched ...read more

    God calls us to faithful, humble obedience and surrender, trusting that He works through our ordinary lives to produce lasting fruit and shine His light.

    Friends, welcome. Some of us arrive today with a spring in our step; others shuffle in under the weight of worries. Either way, you made it here, and I’m glad you did. In a world that runs fast and talks loud, your soul has come to the quiet room of God’s Word. Here, grace meets grit. Here, real ...read more

    Jesus meets us in our weakness, restores what is withered, and calls us to receive his mercy and healing, even when others resist compassion.

    Friends, some of us walked in today with hands that feel tired and hearts that feel thin. Maybe you’ve been carrying a hurt so long it’s started to shape the way you hold yourself. Maybe your courage has curled up, your patience has pinched in, your hope has shrunk to the size of a clenched fist. ...read more

     | 86 views

    God entrusts each of us with unique gifts and opportunities, calling us to faithful, courageous stewardship that honors Him and blesses others.

    Some mornings it feels like heaven has hung a “Help Wanted” sign over your heart. You sense it when you tuck in a child, when you clock in at work, when you linger over the needs of a neighbor. The King of the cosmos has placed something in your hands—time, talents, and treasures—and whispered, “I ...read more

    God meets us in our struggles, empowering us through prayer, perseverance, and hope, assuring restoration and strength even when life feels overwhelming or uncertain.

    Some of us came in today with tears we’ve hidden well. Some with a smile that masks a storm. Some with a weariness we can hardly name. If that’s you, you’re in the right place. God meets people right where they are—at kitchen tables stacked with bills, in hospital rooms lit by beeping monitors, in ...read more

    The sermon calls believers to reject favoritism and embrace Christlike love, welcoming all as equals in God’s family regardless of status or background.

    Sometime between the handshake at the door and the last hymn, most of us have felt it—the little nudge to measure people by pocketbooks or pedigrees, by what they drive or where they sit. Maybe you’ve been on the other side of that glance. You walked into a room, and before you spoke a word, you ...read more

    God’s presence with us overcomes the enemy’s attempts to steal our peace, offering abundant life, hope, and strength through Jesus in every circumstance.

    Some weeks feel like someone sneaked into the pantry of our souls and walked off with the peace we thought we had stored for days like these. Distractions multiply. Weariness whispers. Worry shouts. And our hearts wonder: Where did my joy go? Why does hope seem thin? Why do I feel like I’m fighting ...read more

    This sermon urges believers to move beyond empty words to genuine, costly obedience, allowing God to rekindle authentic faith and wholehearted devotion in their lives.

    Welcome, dear friends. I’m so glad you’re here. Some of us walked in this morning with hearts blazing hot; others with barely a flicker. If faith were a fireplace, some of us are warming our hands, and others are cupping the last little coal, begging it to glow again. Life can be like that. A long ...read more

    When You Know It’s Going To Be A Bad Day Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Dec 19, 2025
     | 59 views

    When you know you’re going to have a bad day, affirm God’s justice; affirm God’s authority; and affirm God’s mercy. It will help you get through the day.

    According to a recent survey, the average American knows their day is going to be bad by 8:36 a.m. in the morning. For example, they say, “You know you’re going to have a bad day if you wake up feeling sick (35%), if you suffer from poor sleep (31%), or if you start the day with a headache (29%).” ...read more

    Marriage is made in heaven, but it matures on earth.

    I’ve had the privilege of doing a lot of weddings over the years. I often tell couples to expect things to go wrong during wedding ceremonies. A couple stand out to me. • During the most sacred part of one ceremony, I asked the couple named Ben and Jen to repeat their vows. When I turned to the ...read more

    Are we living ready for Jesus’ return? Being ready means: Living with hope - living each day with anticipation for Jesus’ return; living a sanctified life - standing out and reflecting the transformative power of faith; and, having a renewed witness - sharing the love of Jesus with all others!

    Introduction Video Ill.: Til Kingdom Come I think that was a pretty good summary of what we discussed last week — Scripture teaches us that Jesus is coming. We do not know when. We can know that it will be soon. Most importantly, we must be ready and waiting. On Firm Ground Source: Will Norton, ...read more

    Continuing this journey of transformation God has called us too. This week we’ll be looking at ourselves and the church as being the Bride of Christ, and the betrothal process where our desire is to know Jesus even better and start to change into those men and women of God He has called us to be.
