Let The Fire Fall

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 5, 2025

True revival comes when God’s fire falls—His presence, power, and purity consuming our lives—something programs cannot produce but only surrender and prayer can invite.

Introduction – Setting the Scene It had been an exhausting day. The hot sun beat down on the parched earth. The crowd sat under a cloudless sky for what felt like an eternity. They were silent spectators at the great contest between Baal and Jehovah. On one side—850 prophets of Baal. On the ...read more

Don't Look Back

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 5, 2025

Life leaves us with memories—some warm us, and some wound us. If we spend our time looking back, we risk missing the new thing God is doing right in us.

Intro: Danger of Looking Back Memories light the corners of our minds, but they can also weigh heavy on our hearts. They can warm us — or they can wound us. The truth is, some people are walking around half-dead because their past has become a prison. The question for us today is this: Are we ...read more

Living While Waiting

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 5, 2025

Because the Day of the Lord will come suddenly, our anticipation of that Day must shape this day—so we strive to be holy, think rightly, watch carefully, and grow steadily.

Introduction This morning we’re reading the final words of Peter’s final letter to the church. His burden is simple and weighty: that we live holy lives that honor the Lord Jesus and are not swept away by the immorality, false teaching, and scoffing around us. How do we do that in a world soaked ...read more

No Light In The Lamp

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 5, 2025

Obedience is not empty duty, but the surrendered, grateful, Spirit-filled response of a heart alive in Christ.

Opening Story – The Boy in the Corner A little boy had been disobedient. His mother sent him to the corner and said, “You sit there.” With folded arms, slumped in his chair, he muttered, “I might be sitting on the outside, but I’m standing on the inside.” That’s obedience… but only on the ...read more

Breakin’ Aachan

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 6, 2025

The story of Achan reminds us that hidden sin always breaks trust, breaks community, and breaks us — but in Christ, even the Valley of Trouble can become a Door of Hope.

Introduction: This morning, the message is called “Breakin’ Aachan.” Yeah, you heard me right. Because what we’re about to look at is a man who broke trust with God, broke covenant with his people, and in the end… it broke him. But the good news is this: God doesn’t just leave us in the Valley ...read more

Jordan: Mantle & Mission (4 Of 4) Series

Coming Home

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 7, 2025

Every heart longs for home—and the good news of the gospel is that God’s grace is the doorway that always leads us back.

Why Are You Downcast?

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 7, 2025

Many Christians stumble, not because they never believed, but because they stayed too close to the place where they first got in. God calls us not only to begin the journey of faith but to grow in joy, perseverance, and victory through Christ.

Introduction: Too Close to Where We Got In A mother tucked her little boy in bed. She kissed him goodnight, pulled up the covers, and went downstairs. Not long after, she heard a loud thump and then crying. She hurried upstairs and found him on the floor. “What happened?” she asked. Through ...read more

Faith Anchored In Hope

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 7, 2025

This message explores faith when life is not well — when God seems silent, unfeeling, or even contradictory. Through the lives of Job, Moses, and Abraham, we discover that true faith is not the absence of doubt but the choice to trust God in spite of doubt.

Some of us are old enough to remember this little ditty from the 1950s: “Next time you’re found with your chin on the ground… there’s a lot to be learned, just look around. What makes that little old ant think he’ll move that rubber tree plant? Anyone knows an ant can’t… but he’s got high ...read more

Rest Stop

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 7, 2025

Life is a weary journey, but God has built a rest stop into the rhythm of our lives — a Sabbath rest in Jesus Christ, where trust replaces fear, grace replaces striving, and His finished work becomes our peace.

Introduction A photographer was snapping pictures of first graders at an elementary school, trying to put them at ease with small talk. “What are you going to be when you grow up?” he asked a little girl. Without hesitation, she said, “Tired.” She had been watching the adults in her life, always ...read more

Forsaken For Our Forgiveness

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 8, 2025

The cross shows the depth of sin and the height of God’s love. There, Jesus took our place so that guilt could be lifted and grace could be personal.

Introduction – A Little Girl’s Directions A little girl got lost on her way home.

From Despair To Hope

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 8, 2025

Funerals today are often called celebrations of life. While we grieve, we also celebrate the hope that is ours through Christ. As Paul reminds us, we do not “grieve as others who have no hope,” for Jesus’ death and resurrection assures us of eternal life.

Funerals are some of the hardest moments of our lives. We come with tears, with memories, with aching hearts. Death feels final. We feel the empty chair at the table. We hear the silence where laughter once rang. We even catch the scent of a shirt still hanging in the closet, and it all reminds us ...read more
