    Contributed by James Wallace on Jul 21, 2021
     | 3,448 views

    How are we to love one another? How do we overcome the things that divide and destroy in the body of Christ? Jesus answered these questions powerfully when He washed the feet of His disciples in John 13.

    Main Idea: Show Christ’s great love by humbly serving each other This past month our little Wallace family of 5 had one of the most joyful and yet challenging experiences we have ever had. We had son and grandson, a precious little baby boy, about as cute as they come, and we gave him up for ...read more

    What will determine the ultimate outcome of your life? What will be your legacy? How will you be remembered? Three very different kinds of people reveal how we determine what the outcome of our lives will be when crunch time comes in Jesus' life.

    Sticks, Stone, And Words Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 16, 2025
     | 487 views

    This is a Bible study lesson, not a sermon. The Bible studies teach foundational truth that are designed to challenge, encourage and, most importantly, flame the fire of hunger in the Christian who wants to learn more about who they have become in Christ Jesus.

    Sticks, Stones And Words – Part 1 (Rev. Rodney Johnson and Rev. Barry Johnson) NOTE: New Light Faith Ministries and Barry Johnson Ministries, founded by Rodney V. Johnson and Barry O. Johnson, respectively, are partnering to offer Bible studies for Christians who are seeking to grow in their ...read more

    When Worship Gets Expensive: Mary’s Price And Judas’ Calculations Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 17, 2025
     | 548 views

    Don’t you imagine that Lazarus grew tired of the onlookers wanting to catch a glimpse of him? No doubt Lazarus would have loved his privacy away from prying eyes after being in the spotlight. How many times did he have to answer, “How do you feel?”

    Find John 12 with me. Worship is the one activity believers will do for all of eternity. Worship offers us these incredible benefits of peace and joy in our lives. Listen and learn from a story of incredible worship. As you listen, refuse to be Judas while embracing Mary. Oh, that there would be ...read more

    Hey Zach, Let's Go Home

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 30, 2025
     | 249 views

    Jesus stops under our tree, calls us by name, enters our desolate house, and fills our deepest loneliness with restoring, transforming grace.

    Part One — The Ache for Home There is a painting by Norman Rockwell that I have loved for years. Even before I knew why it gripped me, it spoke to something deep inside — that universal ache, that timeless yearning we all have for home. Not simply a house or a street address, but the place where ...read more

    Adullam (Ad due lum) is about 5 miles south of Bethshemesh is Judah, near the place known as Gath. Hidden among the goat and sheep trails there are several caves.

    “Everyone Needs A Cave” “I cry aloud to the Lord; I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy. 2I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble. 3When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way.

    It's About Time

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 7, 2025
     | 142 views

    God invites us to slow down—to listen before reacting, to speak with grace, and to let His Spirit shape our emotional responses. When we follow James 1:19, our relationships reflect the patient, gentle heart of Jesus.

    There are moments in ministry that arrive quietly, without fanfare or warning, and yet they end up shaping the way you see people, see yourself, and even see God. One of those moments for me came on a day that seemed ordinary. I was on my way to visit a dear church member I hadn’t seen for too ...read more

    Return To A Listening Heart

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 22, 2025
     | 143 views

    A pastor’s burden exposes spiritual deafness in the church and calls believers and leaders alike to listen, repent, realign, and return to Christ.

    There are moments in ministry when the burden becomes heavier than the words. Moments when you stand before God with His people on your heart and realize that what troubles you most is not persecution from the outside, but resistance on the inside. God spoke through Jeremiah to a people who were ...read more

     | 370 views

    Encouragement sustains faith through presence, patience, and shared courage, enabling people to grow, recover, and remain faithful together.

    I need to start today by saying something I don’t say often enough. This is a good church. Not flashy. Not perfect. Not loud. But good in ways that don’t show up on a website. (pause) And the reason I say that is simple. You stay. You stay when nothing dramatic is happening. You stay when the ...read more
