    No Longer Hiding: From Shame To Belonging

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
     | 177 views

    The gospel restores belonging before behavior, covering shame with presence so hiding loses its necessity and transformation grows from safety.

    Most of us think we know what the problem is. We think the problem is sin. Or disobedience. Or failure. Or a lack of discipline. Or not trying hard enough. Scripture does not ignore them. Very early in the biblical story—before commandments, before systems, before religion is fully formed—the ...read more

    When The Graves Open Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 25, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 261 views

    This message looks in great detail at how the graves were opened after Jesus’s death and resurrection. The power of the resurrection can raise us from our spiritual grave into newness of life, if we put our faith and trust in Jesus.

    Allow me to open our Easter message with an illustration: Eight-year-old Philip had been born with a disability. He looked and acted different from his classmates, and so he never was part of the group. On Palm Sunday, Philip’s Sunday school teacher gave each of her students a plastic egg – the ...read more

    Philadelphia: When Faithfulness Is Protected Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Feb 2, 2026
     | 133 views

    Philadelphia reveals faithfulness without strength: Jesus sees quiet obedience, keeps His people near, opens doors by grace, and promises permanent belonging forever.

    By the time we arrive at Philadelphia, we think we’re on familiar ground. The city of brotherly love. We’ve heard the phrase before. We know how it’s supposed to sound. No Quakers. No Liberty Bell. No 76ers or Eagles. No cheesesteaks. This Philadelphia is older than the phrase as we use it—and ...read more

    Promises For Those Who Trust PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 179 views

    God intimately sees, hears, and cares for us in every trial, offering steadfast love, comfort, and deliverance to the brokenhearted and trusting.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides a storm. Bills on the table, biopsy on the calendar, battles in the soul. Others carry a quiet ache—an empty chair at dinner, a friendship gone cold, a door that never opened. If you feel overlooked, unheard, unseen—hear this: the God who flung ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 177 views

    This sermon urges believers to choose love over judgment, removing obstacles for others and fostering a gentle, supportive community that reflects Christ’s kindness.

    Friends, welcome. Take a breath. Let your shoulders drop a bit. I don’t know what you carried in today—opinions that feel heavy, tensions that won’t unwind, or that low ache that comes from wishing people saw things your way. Church can feel like a crowded dinner table where everyone brings a ...read more

     | 188 views

    Our words and promises carry deep consequences; God calls us to speak carefully, obey courageously, and trust His grace even when we fail.

    Friend, your words carry weight. Promises shape people. Vows mark moments. We know the power of a whispered “I do,” the gravity of “I’ll be there,” and the ache of “I’m sorry.” Words can build bridges, and words can burn them. Have you ever wished you could take a sentence back? Have you ever felt ...read more

    Paul always had to consider his commitment to Christ before he would make his decisions.

    MOMENTS OF DECISION This morning I want us to consider how important it is for us to walk in the ways of the Lord. Sometimes, this is not easy to do.
