    Ecclesiastes was written to people who question whether there is a God, and to those who outright reject God. What do they have left in life? Nothing but despair...but there is another Way.

    Forsaken?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2022
     | 1,094 views

    The psalm we sang today, the psalm He prayed on the cross as He gradually suffocated to death, begins with an apparent cry of despair: “God, why have you forsaken me?”

    Passion (Palm) Sunday In the four Gospels there are four slightly different accounts of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. St Mark’s is the briefest of them all. He records only one statement of Jesus. But what all four Evangelists agree on is this: Jesus died praying. He died as ...read more

    When have you faced an obstacle that seemed impossible? Jesus raising Lazarus back to life teaches us to 1) Trust God's timing, 2) Trust God's heart, and 3) Trust God's might.

    Dead Man Walking John 11:1-45 March 29, 2020 I got my sermon title from that phrase used to describe someone from Death Row heading to their execution. They are called “Dead Man Walking.” It’s an eerie title for someone who is moving invariably toward their death. However, in today’s ...read more

     | 211 views

    Discouragement is not a sign of weak faith; it is a reality we must confront with divine truth and spiritual tools. What matters is not whether we feel discouraged, but how we respond when it comes.

    Dealing With Depression And Mental Health Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 30, 2025
     | 128 views

    Depression and mental battles are not foreign to Scripture or to God. He cares, He listens, and He heals. The Church must be a place of restoration, where the emotionally broken are embraced and helped, not judged.

    In four short chapters we move from tragedy to triumph, from despair to joy, from emptiness to fullness. This book begins with famine and funerals, and concludes with a wedding and the joyful birth of a son.

    The final chapter of this quiet drama takes place before the town gate of Bethlehem, where all important transactions were conducted. Here is where the matter of Ruth the foreigner would be settled. After the late-night rendezvous of chapter 3, Boaz goes right to work; he finds his kinsman and ...read more
