You Before Yours

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 16, 2025

God desires the giver before the gift—when we first surrender our hearts to Him, every act of generosity, including financial giving, flows joyfully and becomes an overflow of grace.

(God wants the giver before the gift) --- Introduction – Life Stirs Up Life Before we even open our Bibles, think about something amazing. The New Testament calls the church the body of Christ. Not a building. Not bricks and mortar. You and I are the church. Every part of a body matters. ...read more

How In The World Can I Be Holy?

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 24, 2025

Holiness grows as we surrender: Christ renews our thoughts, equips our lives, and tunes our praise, freeing us to truly live.

Introduction: A wild duck lands in a Danish barnyard for an easy meal. He plans to stay an hour, then a day, then a summer. When autumn comes and wild wings thunder overhead, he tries to join them but can barely clear the barn eaves. By the next spring he scarcely looks up. That is a parable of ...read more

Pouring Out My Soul

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 24, 2025

Who You Gonna Call?

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 26, 2025

Today is God’s appointed moment to surrender to Christ, because sin’s essence is self and no second chance awaits after death.

A Familiar Question with Eternal Weight We all know the line from pop culture: Who you gonna call? It was written for a movie that made people laugh, but the question itself is deadly serious. When a crisis hits, when the next breath is uncertain, when eternity draws close—who you call on ...read more

Hand Him Your Heart

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025

God seeks not our money but our hearts—surrendered lives whose joyful generosity springs from grace, proving that sanctification transforms every part of us.

Proverbs 23:26 > “My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.” That single verse is a tender invitation. God doesn’t demand—He asks. He reaches out His hand and says, “Give Me your heart.” Not your résumé, not your reputation, not your records of what you’ve given ...read more

No Repentance, No Revival Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 12, 2025

Without repentance, revival becomes theater—faith without surrender. True awakening begins when hearts trade control for the cross of Christ.

The Rubberneck Revival We’ve all done it—slowed down to stare at someone else’s wreck. Traffic crawls, brake lights flare, and curiosity pulls at us. We glance, we speculate, we shake our heads—and then we move on. That’s the spirit of this cultural moment. The world is rubbernecking religion. ...read more

Live Out Thy Life Within Me Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025

Dying daily is surrendering control so Christ’s life may flow freely—trusting His Spirit, not our feelings, to guide every moment.

1. When the Pilot Lets Go Faith is learning to fly with someone else’s hands on the controls. You can’t see everything. You can’t always feel what’s happening. And the day comes when the Spirit says, “You’ve got it,” and suddenly you realize He’s teaching you to trust—not to steer. The apostle ...read more

Do You Want What God Offers You?

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 28, 2025

Heaven is for those who love God, not merely His blessings. Salvation transforms our desires so we treasure His presence and holiness eternally.

The Journey Of Faith

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025

Faith’s journey moves through surrender and grace — where Jesus meets us at the wall, restores our love, and sends us forward.

There’s something quietly deceptive about the word arrival. We love the sound of it — the sense that the journey’s over, the destination reached, the work done. “I’ve arrived,” we say. The culture trains us to think in terms of achievements and milestones, success stories and finish lines. But ...read more
