    The Enemy’s Final Defeat Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025
     | 212 views

    God overturns every evil plot; favor follows surrender, and the cross turns Satan’s gallows into unstoppable victory for God’s people.

    Esther isn’t just a story; she’s a sign. She’s the picture of a bride standing tall in a collapsing world. We’re not in the first of the last days. We’re in the last of the last days! Can somebody say Amen! Before that trumpet sounds, there’s gonna be a stirring in God’s people like this world ...read more

    Standing In The Gap Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025
     | 267 views

    God still seeks intercessors who stand between judgment and mercy; prayerful courage releases divine authority and brings deliverance to His people.

    Introduction – The Call to Stand Last week we saw Esther’s victory and Haman’s fall. But there’s more to the story. Before there was a banquet, before the gallows were reversed, there was a woman on her knees saying, “If I perish, I perish.” Every victory begins with somebody willing to stand in ...read more

    Signed, Sealed, And Delivered Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025
     | 170 views

    Christ’s finished work overturns the enemy’s decree; His authority seals our deliverance, and we now carry His victory everywhere.

    Introduction – The Victory Is Not in Doubt We’ve walked with Esther from fear to favor, from risk to reward, from prayer to power. We saw a little orphan girl rise to become a queen. We saw Haman hang on the gallows he built for someone else. We’ve watched the story turn. Now, in chapter 8, ...read more

    God Turned It Around Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025
     | 394 views

    When all seemed lost, God reversed the decree—turning fear into faith, sorrow into joy, and defeat into glorious victory.

    Introduction - Children’s Prayers A mother was teaching her three-year-old the Lord’s Prayer. Night after night they practiced, and one evening the little girl said, “Mommy, I can do it myself.” So she folded her tiny hands and prayed, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us some ...read more

    The Gift Of Time Series

     | 125 views

    The Sabbath remains holy and God’s enduring invitation to rest in His finished grace.

    Introduction – A Change No One Voted On Some of the biggest changes in history happen so quietly that we only notice their results. Languages drift, customs morph, recipes evolve, and one day we realize the original flavor has vanished. That is how the Sabbath changed. It was not a decision of ...read more

    When The Lights Go Out

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025
     | 160 views

    Jesus rekindles our passion to shine. His authority sends us, His Spirit empowers us, and His mission becomes our greatest thrill again

    It happens slowly. You rarely notice when the first lights begin to flicker. A bulb gives up in the back hallway. One more goes dark in the kitchen. The living room dims a little, but you don’t think much about it. You just squint more. You buy a cheaper lamp. You hold your phone screen a little ...read more

    Is There A Word From The Lord?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025
     | 253 views

    God’s final word still stands: Go with Christ’s authority, fulfill His mission, and trust His presence until the end.

    Introduction — The Question That Still Echoes Jeremiah’s words come from a dark hour in Israel’s story. The city was surrounded, the king frightened, and the people restless. So Zedekiah sent a messenger to the prophet asking one desperate question: “Is there a word from the Lord?” It’s the same ...read more

    Find Your Towel

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025
     | 117 views

    Jesus gives authority to serve, not rule—power shaped like a towel, lifting others, revealing love’s quiet strength, and mirroring His heart.

    1. The Ladder and the Towel My senior pastor once stood with me in the church fellowship hall staring at a row of framed photographs—portraits of evangelists who had conducted meetings through the years. His finger paused on one. “H. M. S. Richards, Sr.,” he said softly. Then came a line I’ll ...read more

    The Bible By Jesus

    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Nov 7, 2025
     | 136 views

    What this Bible can do for you.

    A. WHAT THIS BIBLE CAN DO FOR YOU 1. Let Me explain the Bible to you. I led two disciples through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the scripture the things "concerning Himself” (Luke 24:27, NLT). 2. Let Me get you excited when you understand scripture. “Didn’t ...read more

    Unshared Unrivaled Unequaled

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 10, 2025
     | 120 views

    Christ alone is the unshared, unrivaled, unequal Rock; surrender means stepping off the throne of self and letting Him reign today.

    There’s a certain comfort, isn’t there, in imagining that somewhere out there is a man who carries the weight of spiritual certainty on his shoulders. He sits robed, enthroned, vested in centuries of tradition and expectation. His words ripple across continents. His gestures become symbols. His ...read more

     | 75 views

    Why do people in church listen to doctors and lawyers but not pastors?

    Listen to the Expert Luke 13:31-35 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Luke 13:31 At that very time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, “Go away and leave this place, because aHerod wants to kill You.” 32 And He said to them, “Go and tell that 1fox, ‘Behold, I am casting out demons and ...read more

    An unlocked door can keep you out if you don’t know it is unlocked. What did Jesus unlock for us?

    Unlocked Pt. 3 - A Place Holder I. Introduction If you don't believe an unlocked door is just as strong and restrictive as a locked door if you don’t know that the door is unlocked, then all you need to do is google bank robbery failures.

    Power To Meet The World's Desperate Need Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 23, 2023
     | 1,993 views

    As God has authority over all of life, so Jesus has authority over all of life.

    For the next 4 weeks we will be studying from the John 5. This chapter deals with the authority and power that Jesus has. In fact, chapter 5 reveals Jesus to be the Authority over all of life. Jesus is equal with God and that is claimed later on in this chapter. So, He is due the same worship, ...read more

    There Is Something About The Name Of Jesus You Need To Know

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Mar 19, 2024
     | 1,169 views

    The Believer in Christ can find themselves in the midst of worldly trouble; trouble they never asked for. When confronted by evil men and their agendas we retain an authority in Christ to set at bay unwarranted advances. Its all found in the Name of Jesus.

    Video presentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPM6oHOYLsg&t The Name of Jesus is our first and last line of defense against human and spiritual violence. It is not merely reciting the name that is powerful, but rather it is the authority that is behind the Name and our position within ...read more

    Blessed… Praise Be!

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 14, 2026
     | 210 views

    The Beatitudes expose neutral faith, declaring where life with God truly exists and refusing to let blessing remain comfortable.

    “Blessed…” That word is so familiar to us that it barely registers anymore. We hear it and we nod. We hear it and we assume we know what comes next. Blessed — we think — means approved. Comfortable. Favored. Safe. Almost instinctively, the response follows. Praise be. We say it quickly. We say ...read more
