     | 596 views

    This exposition of Luke chapter 15 begins with a very personal story, highlighting how God even uses human frailty as a means to His grace.

    Once upon a time, in the summertime, there was a 16-year-old young man struggling to find his way. His father held a particular secular and materialistic philosophy about life and making meaning in the world—something the young man had tried to embrace, but it ultimately left him feeling empty. ...read more

    Christ’s priceless sacrifice secures our salvation, transforms our identity, and empowers us to live free from sin and shame through His unchanging grace.

    Some of you limped into this room today under the weight of the week. Bills barking. Calendars crowded. Regrets replaying. You smiled at the door, but your soul is sighing inside. You wonder, Am I still seen? Still loved? Still secure? Friend, you couldn’t have walked into a better word for a weary ...read more

    God’s presence remains with us in every trial; we are never alone, for He walks with us through every fire, bringing comfort and courage.

    Some of us walked in today with smiles that mask a thousand aches. Bills stack higher than courage. Reports from doctors bruise the heart. The road feels rough, the night long, the fire fierce. You’ve prayed, you’ve waited, you’ve wondered if God still walks your hallway or stands beside your ...read more

    Trust God’s presence and providence when facing hostility or fear, relying on His protection and grace instead of reacting with anger or self-defense.

    Some of us walked in today weary, worried, and worn. You’ve been dodging spears you never asked for—sharp words at work, quiet tensions at home, old wounds that seem to whisper fresh threats. It feels like you’re playing the harp in Saul’s palace—trying to bring calm—while a javelin sits poised in ...read more

    God meets us in our weakness, offering sustaining grace and strength through prayer, transforming our struggles into places where His power and love are revealed.

    Some of us came in today weary, worried, and a little worn. We know what it is to smile on the outside while something aches on the inside. You’ve got a thorn that throbs—maybe it’s a diagnosis, a disappointment, a deadline, or a relationship that feels like a riddle you can’t solve. You’ve prayed ...read more

    When Religion Collides With Revelation

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 8, 2025
     | 44 views

    Cain and Abel reveal two spiritual systems: self-made religion or grace-filled revelation. God accepts only the worship shaped by surrender to His revealed way.

    Some of the most defining moments in Scripture arrive without fanfare. No thunder. No angels. No miracles that split seas or shake mountains. Just a simple scene, described with almost startling brevity, that quietly reveals the inner architecture of the human heart. The story of Cain and Abel in ...read more

    Make sure of your salvation, but it doesn’t say make sure by looking back at a decision that you made. The way that you make sure of your calling and election is by practicing these qualities.

    Let me give you a couple of warnings before I get started today. We had an awesome, awesome service last service, but let me just say this. Stick with me through the whole talk. Typically, you can hear a message and doze off for a little bit. And catch five minutes here and think, ‘Ooh! That ...read more
