    The Peace Altar

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 20, 2025
     | 59 views

    God gives peace before the battle, speaks identity before performance, and empowers fearful people through His presence, not their strength.

    Most of us assume peace comes after things change. After the diagnosis is clear. After the conflict is resolved. After the money situation stabilizes. After the fear finally loosens its grip. We tell ourselves, “I’ll have peace when the battle is over.” But the story of Gideon opens with a ...read more

    Drawn To The Light Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 17, 2026
     | 105 views

    The light of Christ does not eliminate darkness, but restores orientation—revealing what is true when perception is distorted and certainty feels misleading.

    Night flying has its own unique challenges. During the day, a pilot has constant reference points. The horizon. The ground. Landmarks that quietly tell you where you are in relation to everything else. At night, many of those references disappear. You can still fly. The aircraft still responds. ...read more

    What Jesus Expects From Us

    Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Apr 3, 2024
     | 1,295 views

    If we really know the Biblical Jesus and have faith in Him, what are some of the positive reactions He expects from us?

    "The Jews answered him, 'Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?' Jesus answered, 'I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge. Truly, truly, I say to ...read more

    Exercising And Exorcising

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 8, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 663 views

    In this passage, we see two blind men who had to "exercise" their faith to receive their sight. However, we see another kind of exercise in this passage; or rather, “exorcise,” as Jesus exorcised a demon from a man who was mute.

    You have probably heard someone say before that we need to “exercise” our faith. In Hebrews chapter 12, we read, “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1b-2a). Jesus is both the author and finisher. He is ...read more

    Reconstructing Our Faith In The Bible.

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 4, 2024
     | 969 views

    Sometimes, in talking to someone who has walked away from their faith and the church, they will say that their process of deconstruction began when they began to question the bible. This message looks at some ways to avoid that.

    This might make you think less of me, but sometimes I google my name. I know, I’m so vain. There is a little bit of truth in that, but it’s also to keep an eye on who’s preaching the messages that I post online and also to track where my books are being mentioned. And yes, I am a little vain; the ...read more

    On the topic of pure religion and our interactions with other people, James addresses the topic of favoritism.

    Mean Girls and Bullies Are a common theme in the movies and entertainment in part because… It is a part of human nature - to be accepted and to be close to people who can help us get ahead.

     | 1,125 views

    The Gospel of Accomplishment: “You must believe and live right to be saved.” The Gospel of Approval: “I’m defined by what other people think about me.” Here’s our third counterfeit gospel: The Gospel of Self-Management - “You can change. Look inside you for the power to change.”

    We continue our series on Why the Reformation matters today by looking at the importance of faith. One of the critical pieces that came out of the Reformation was the belief that Faith Alone makes me acceptable to God. We will return back to Sean’s story a little later today. 500 years after ...read more

    In tragedy we need a word from the "Great I AM"

    The Sunday after Columbine I began my sermon with the question: “WHY?” Today I want to respond to Tuesday’s tragedy with “What now?” One of the things that I want to affirm today:  God was not ringing his hands over what happened on Tuesday.  He was not at a loss for words like ...read more

    How does one know when they are sanctified?

    Sanctification A Scene from Real Life Romans 12:1-2; I Thessalonians 4:3-8, 5:23-24 There are some that declare that we simply grow into the experience of entire sanctification.
