The Powerful Faith Of The Centurion PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 23, 2025

Trusting Jesus’ word brings healing and hope; faith in His authority, not our worthiness or understanding, invites His miraculous power into our lives.

Friends, perhaps you walked in today with a knot in your stomach and a prayer under your breath. Maybe the doctor’s words still echo. Maybe the bill is bigger than your paycheck. Maybe the bedroom is quiet and the tears come louder at night. What if the miracle you need is as close as a word from ...read more

God remains sovereign and present amid chaos; His eternal kingdom and faithfulness offer hope and courage to His people facing fear and uncertainty.

Friends, if ever there was a chapter for days like these, it’s Daniel 7. When headlines howl and hearts are heavy, when the future feels foggy and the ground beneath your feet won’t stop trembling, God whispers through this ancient text, "I still reign." Daniel’s night was full of beasts and winds ...read more

Where Is Your Bed?

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 4, 2025

Jesus replaces false hope with wholeness, calling us to rise from spiritual paralysis, carry redeemed stories, and walk in restored identity and purpose.

PART 1 — THE BED YOU’VE BEEN LYING ON There is a place in Jerusalem that almost no one visited with joy. They did not come singing. They did not come expecting a miracle. They came because they were stuck. They came because they were broken. They came because they had nowhere else to go. It was ...read more

Keeping It Together

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 20, 2025

In a divided world, Christ—not agreement or control—holds the church together as peace, creating unity without uniformity through grace, love.

Two old men were sitting outside a seniors’ home enjoying the sunshine. One turned to the other and said, “Slim, I’m 83 years old and I’m just full of aches and pains. You’re about my age. How do you feel?” Slim said, “I feel just like a newborn baby.” “Really? Like a newborn baby?” “Yep. No ...read more

Hang On To What You Have

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 27, 2025

Faith is sustained not by intensity or perfection, but by hanging on to Christ’s grace when pressure, disappointment, and weariness pull at our trust.

He didn’t start out confused. He started out in love. You remember what that feels like—when faith is simple, when obedience feels like joy instead of effort, when the future seems open because God is clearly ahead of you. Prayer is natural. Scripture feels like bread. Service feels like oxygen. ...read more

Corporate Worship Is The Best Worship (Psalm 42:1-11) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 27, 2025

There's something special about worshipping God together. My starting point was wanting to study "deep calls to deep." Written during the covid insanity, when Christians were scared of, or banned from, public worship.

One of my kids asked me this week what it means, when "deep calls to deep." I told her, "I have no idea." But I promised her I'd study that next. And after using google, I found out that what we are going to work through this week, apparently, is Psalm 42. Let's ...read more

The Courage To Stay

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 28, 2025

Encouragement sustains faith through presence, patience, and shared courage, enabling people to grow, recover, and remain faithful together.

I need to start today by saying something I don’t say often enough. This is a good church. Not flashy. Not perfect. Not loud. But good in ways that don’t show up on a website. (pause) And the reason I say that is simple. You stay. You stay when nothing dramatic is happening. You stay when the ...read more

The Passion Puzzle Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Dec 29, 2025

Over the course of His time with the disciples, Jesus has been giving clues to help the disciples understand the grand picture of the Gospel.

There is something quite interesting about putting a puzzle together. A single piece provides a little information, but when connected with many or all of the other pieces, the picture comes into view. The Apostle Paul has referred to the gospel as a “mystery.” Just as puzzles need to be ...read more

Speak, Lord

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 24, 2026

When we are guilty of a lack of trust, like Elijah, we know that this sin too is forgiven. Our God loves us and quietly, gently notes our sin, assures us of His forgiveness, and then points us in the direction that we should go.

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.

Fire PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 13, 2025

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
