    Joy At Christmas Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Dec 20, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 361 views

    This sermon proclaims that the true joy of Christmas is not found in changing circumstances or earthly comfort, but in the unshakable, eternal joy that comes from God drawing near in Christ—who lived, suffered, died, and rose again to secure our salvation and remain with us through every trial.

    To begin our discussion this morning, let’s do a quick, informal congregational survey. I’m going to describe a few scenarios. If the scenario brings you joy, give me a thumbs up. If it brings discomfort, frustration, or sorrow—give me a thumbs down. Just respond honestly. First scenario: ...read more

    Pergamum: When Faithfulness Is Misplaced Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 28, 2026
     | 77 views

    Living near power, Pergamum remained faithful yet misdirected loyalty, until Christ’s word called repentance, restored authority, and promised hidden sustenance and identity.

    Pergamum is the third letter to the seven churches in Revelation, and by the time we arrive here, the pressure has changed again. Ephesus dealt with something that faded quietly. Smyrna faced pressure that came from the outside, loud and unmistakable. Pergamum is different. The danger here is ...read more

    based on 16 ratings
     | 15,279 views

    The Apostle Peter in this passage is reminding those believers to whom he is writing to be sure live there lives in fear and reverence of God; likewise we will also today learn that same lesson.

    Why Should I live My life in Fear and Reverence of God? 1 Peter 1:17-21 Introduction Too many Christians of our day seem to be totally unconcerned with the need to be “conformed to the image of Christ” as Romans 8: 29 speaks of. Rather, they seem to think that they can live pretty much as they ...read more

    People can delude themselves into believing whatever they want. For example, before I became a Christian (when I was 21), I was out driving my truck when I needed to turn around and go back to where I left.

    Prayer And Revival

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Oct 29, 2023
     | 2,037 views

    This verse is often quoted in connection with various prayer campaigns, like National Day of Prayer and other times when we are called to seasons of prayer. We are familiar with this verse, but now let’s look at the background of this verse.

    We know that prayer is the Christians vital breath of life. How is your prayer life? How long has it been since you really dwelt in the presence of God? It can be convicting to come to the realization we have drifted, and our prayer life is not what it once was. What can we do about it? The answer ...read more

    The Fountain And The Broken Cisterns

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 27, 2025
     | 326 views

    This sermon is a passionate call based on Jeremiah 2:13 to abandon the exhausting pursuit of fulfillment in the world's "broken cisterns" and return to God, the true "fountain of living waters" who alone can quench our deepest spiritual thirst.

    Introduction: The Scandal of Thirst Before we open God’s Word, I want you to imagine the land where Jeremiah lived. It was a dry, sun-scorched land. Water was not a convenience you got from a tap; water was life itself. A family’s wealth, their survival, depended on access to a well, a stream, or a ...read more
