    (1 Of 4) The Gospel Is Good News Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 27, 2025
     | 190 views

    The gospel of Jesus Christ is history’s central story—faith in the past, hope for the future, and love today.

    Not on Fox. Not on the peacock channel. Not on C-SPAN or ESPN. Not a stock market report. Not a weather forecast. Not stale news. Not fake news. Not bad news. Good news. The gospel is not a broadcast that fades after the commercial break. It’s not spin for ratings or another voice in the noise. ...read more

    Serve Others, Serve Christ PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 9, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 244 views

    True greatness is found in serving others with everyday acts of kindness, recognizing and loving Jesus in the overlooked and ordinary people around us.

    Some of the most breathtaking moments with Jesus arrive in ordinary clothes. A paper cup of water handed to a weary worker. A brown-bag sandwich shared on a bench. A text sent at midnight that says, “I’m here.” He has a way of walking into our Mondays and Market Streets, our waiting rooms and ...read more

    Don't Let Your Past Dictate Your Future PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 213 views

    God’s presence empowers us to release the past, trust Him with our present and future, and pursue Jesus as our ultimate prize.

    Some of us walked in today with a calendar full of plans and a heart full of questions. Others came with a smile for the room and a sigh for the ride home. Life has a way of handing us seasons we didn’t pencil in—detours we didn’t expect, delays we didn’t schedule, and disappointments we didn’t see ...read more

    A Servant Worthy Of Double Honor PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 290 views

    The sermon emphasizes honoring and appreciating faithful church leaders, especially those who teach and shepherd, recognizing their unseen sacrifices and vital role in the church’s health.

    There’s a kind of quiet hero God keeps tucking into churches. You don’t always see their names in lights. You may not even notice their names at all. But you feel their fingerprints in the fabric of the family—when the doors are open early and the lights are on; when a casserole shows up at a ...read more

    The Silence Is Broken Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 17, 2026
     | 196 views

    The universe is not silent. Jesus Christ has been lifted up, and the voice of God now stands over every life as revealed meaning, not self-created purpose.

    The modern world tells us a story. It rarely announces it out loud. It doesn’t need to. It simply assumes it — and we absorb it by living inside it. The story says the universe is ultimately quiet. That there is no voice behind it. No intention beneath it. No meaning given — only meaning made. We ...read more

    Today we examine a practical and serious passage about the true knowledge in a Christian’s walk with his/her Lord. There are 7 qualities that supplement faith. Do we lack in any of them? Great wonder! We tap into the divine power and the divine nature.

    Doubting Thomas

    based on 41 ratings
     | 11,143 views

    Before we hurl accusations at "Didymus," we had better check to see that it is not we in fact who are his twin. There are many who doubt Jesus in on way or another.

    “DOUBTING THOMAS” John 20:24-29 (030427e) A word on verse 23 before we look at Thomas. Commentary writer, Warren Wiersbe said the following: The “remitting” power given in v. 23 does not apply to Christians today, except in the sense that we retain or remit sins as we give sinners the Gospel. ...read more

    Moses obeyed God, but the intial reaction was Pharoah’s orders and the Hebrews’ backlash. Sometimes we get misunderstood too. But hang in there anyway!

    Good Intentions – Exodus 5-6 At their school carnival, our kids won four free goldfish (lucky us!), so out I went Saturday morning to find an aquarium. The first few I priced ranged from $40 to $70. Then I spotted it—right in the aisle: a discarded 10-gallon display tank, complete with gravel ...read more

    (1) INTRODUCTION: How does this passage of Scripture apply to us if it talks primarily of the fall of Satan ? (a) It’s actually written about an earthly man - the King of Babylon (v4). (b) Satan tempted man to go a similar way as him (Gen 3:5) (c) Throughout Scripture we are ...read more
