    Happy New Day

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 27, 2025
     | 320 views

    This New Year message reframes faith from managing the future to walking faithfully through today, trusting God’s presence rather than promises or outcomes.

    This is a New Year sermon. For some of you, that sentence alone is enough to make you settle back into your seat and quietly decide, "I’ll check out for now and will check back in about half an hour." I don’t say that sarcastically. I say it honestly. Because New Year’s sermons have ...read more

    It’s Not About The Prodigal Son

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 16, 2025
     | 585 views

    This message is about three parables that Jesus told that, although separated in Scripture, is really one message about how we should respond when someone repents and accepts Christ as Lord and Savior.

    It’s Not About The Prodigal Son The title of my message this morning is “It’s Not About the Prodigal Son.” This sermon title might not make sense to some of you but I promise you that by the end you will understand what the Spirit is saying to us through this title.

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,175 views

    Revival is a matter of the heart. Revival begins when believers realize that things have changed, weakened and dying. Israel had lost so much, their temple, temple worship and the presence of God. Revival begins in the heart.

    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

    As followers of Jesus Christ, we carry God’s name with us wherever we go, whatever we do.

    What’s in a name? In Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet," Romeo asks that very question: "What’s in a name? A rose by any other name still smells just as sweet."

    In Matthew 25 Jesus gives us His only picture of the final judgment. In the parable of the Sheep and the Goats those who are the "blessed" ones are those who loved the least of these in society.

Tired and hungry, this young man faltered, floundered, and failed. The people were unresponsive; they did not know ...read more
