     | 16,778 views

    An incomprehensive study on the ’one another’ verses. Part 3

    I want to draw your attention to something most of us would never, otherwise, pause to consider very carefully...something that, in a way, we take for granted. Bearing another person’s burdens. Think about this. When a man sees a woman carrying something, it is considered gentlemanly for him ...read more

    Neighbor, What's Up?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 20, 2025
     | 85 views

    The Good Samaritan exposes self-justification, lets the law speak fully, and leads us to salvation received through mercy, not performance.

    Everyone seems to know the story of the Good Samaritan. It is one of those rare biblical stories that has escaped the walls of the church and entered everyday language. Hospitals are named after him. Laws are named after him. Charities bear his name. Even people who have never opened a Bible still ...read more

    The Peace Altar

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 20, 2025
     | 56 views

    God gives peace before the battle, speaks identity before performance, and empowers fearful people through His presence, not their strength.

    Most of us assume peace comes after things change. After the diagnosis is clear. After the conflict is resolved. After the money situation stabilizes. After the fear finally loosens its grip. We tell ourselves, “I’ll have peace when the battle is over.” But the story of Gideon opens with a ...read more

    Fully Committed Discipleship PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 17, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 89 views

    The sermon urges us to personally confess Jesus as the Christ, surrendering all to Him, and finding true life and identity in wholehearted allegiance to Him.

    There are questions that settle the soul. They steady the heart in a world of headlines and hurry. One question rises above the noise like a bell in a storm. Jesus asks it with gentle authority and unshakable kindness: “Who do you say that I am?” We carry many names on our backs—titles, labels, ...read more

    A Sure Foundation In Jesus PRO Sermon

     | 160 views

    True faith stands firm through life’s storms when built on obedience to Jesus, who alone provides the unshakable foundation our hearts need.

    Friend, storms don’t make appointments. They don’t text ahead, and they don’t knock politely. They gather on the horizon and muscle their way into our Mondays. A pink slip on a Friday. A diagnosis on a Tuesday. A call at midnight that drops you to your knees. And there you stand in the downpour, ...read more

    The old farmer claimed that he could command his mule with nothing more than a few soft words, no whips or prods necessary. She would respond, he claimed, with nothing more than gently spoken commands. So his buddy down at the feed store asked for a demonstration. “Prove to me that your old mule ...read more
