    Unfollow Me Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 23, 2025
     | 187 views

    Jesus calls us to unfollow the voices that hurt us and follow Him into peace, identity, courage, and a life of true belonging.

    There is a strange paradox in the way we speak today. We live in an age with more freedom than any previous generation — more information, more options, more mobility, more personal expression. Yet even with all this freedom, we are more anxious, more fragmented, more exhausted, and more confused ...read more

    Funeral Sermon: Many people have a longing inside and life seems dissatisfying. They are actually searching for home. Our true home is in heaven; but until we reach heaven, Jesus is our home. He is also our guide leading us home.

    I was praying about what I should share today, and I was searching for something that would address a wide range of needs, for those who are Christians and those who aren’t; and the Lord led me to 2 Corinthians chapter 5. Let me assure you that Marshall was a Christian. He had a personal ...read more

    Sergio’s enemy of the priest that turned him away became his inspiration to help others. Even the ones we see as representing Jesus can (at times) be an enemy. And today, our lesson is that The Cross Has Enemies.

    WELCOME & INTRODUCTION FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT Sergio Gutierrez Benitez was a kid growing up in a tough neighborhood of Mexico City in the 1950s. By age ten he’d already joined a gang, committed petty crimes, and started using drugs—marijuana at first, then harder drugs. Finally, after years ...read more

    Jesus says he will stand for us on Judgment Day. Will you stand up for him now or will you hide in the shadows.

    Show Your Faith We’ve found out something interesting. Reality TV has nothing to do with reality. I’m betting that is a shock to no one. Karen and I had watched a reality show about couples who met abroad, until it turned into nothing but a parade of the absurd to the point we couldn’t even ...read more

    Does It Matter What Truth You Believe?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 1, 2023
     | 2,039 views

    With all the false doctrine in the world today, does it matter which truth we choose to believe?

    Many of us here today grew up in a world that was fairly simple. The things that we saw on television, read in the paper, or were taught in school were real facts and events that were happening or had happened in history. The world we live in today is a lot different. We're given little ...read more
