    Listen To The Expert

     | 23 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

    Explore God's discernment and authority, as illustrated in the Parable of the Wheat and Tares, and encourages believers to seek wisdom in discerning the good from the bad in their own lives while trusting in God's perfect timing.

    Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ. I hope y'all are feeling blessed today! We're going to dive into a very interesting piece of Scripture today from the book of Matthew, chapter 13, verses 24-30. It's the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares.

    The Light Still Shines

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 23, 2025
     | 110 views

    Christ calls us to share the thrilling gospel, live as true disciples, and trust His daily presence so His light still shines.

    Introduction – The Most Thrilling Story Many years ago, when Adoniram Judson was doing powerful missionary work in Burma, he returned home for furlough and was invited to speak at a church in the United States. The congregation expected an exciting account of danger and heroism—stories of jungle ...read more

    A Broken Man Before The Boundless Gospel

     | 441 views

    Locked doors and crowded rooms can stop most people, but real faith finds a way. In Mark 2:1–12 four friends tear through a roof to place a paralytic before Jesus—He forgives first, then heals—showing His authority and calling us to carry others to Him.

    A little while ago I was installing a keypad lock on the door to my upstairs studio—just trying to add an extra layer of security for my equipment, cameras, computers, all that production stuff. So I set the keypad lock up, got the old handle out of the door, got the batteries in, set the code, all ...read more

    Plastic Faith

     | 692 views

    Artificial leaves look healthy but produce nothing. In Mark 11 Jesus exposes leaf-only religion: a fig tree with no fruit, a crowded temple with no prayer, faith without forgiveness, and leaders without surrender. He clears space for real life with God—fruit, prayer, forgiveness, and obedience.

    An artificial plant looks impressive. But it produces nothing. You could easily buy one at a store with thought that it will "bring life to any room." And—sure—it brings the appearance of life. The leaves stay green. They never drop. It never needs water. In fact, if I tried to water it, ...read more

    (2) God Said It Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 30, 2025
     | 226 views

    John 4 -- Nobleman's Son. The second sign in John's Gospel shows the Word made flesh has limitless authority and power.

    Introduction I want to begin today with a simple refrain you may have heard before: God said it. I believe it. And that settles it for me. That little line may sound like something out of a gospel chorus, but it’s actually the heartbeat of the second sign in John’s Gospel. We’re in John chapter ...read more

    Walking Through Chaos Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025
     | 106 views

    The Father who commands paralysis to move also commands storms to rest—calling His children to rise, walk, and trust His steady presence.

    (John 5 & John 6:16–21 — The Lame Man and the Storm) --- Introduction — When Life Won’t Move Have you ever been stuck? Not the “traffic jam on I-15” kind of stuck. I mean the deeper kind — when nothing in your life will budge. You pray, you plan, you push, and still it feels like the wheels ...read more

    The Enemy’s Final Defeat Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025
     | 179 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
     | 191 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
     | 125 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
     | 307 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 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 27, 2025
     | 98 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
     | 200 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
