    Our world is exploding with violence, and many people who once claimed to follow Jesus are losing heart. They are in danger of drifting away and dropping out.

    INTRODUCTION I read recently that 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 every day. When we were teenagers we were part of a music revolution. However, as we get older, things change. For that reason I’m thinking about doing a commercial for a remix of songs for aging boomers. What do you think? The ...read more

    Good Grief! Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Oct 13, 2025
     | 154 views

    We all thirst for meaning, hope, and grace. In Christ, we find the living water that truly satisfies. “Good grief” awakens us to our need for Him, leads us to repentance, and brings new life. The world is thirsty. Don’t leave them under an empty spigot — point them to Jesus, the living water.

    ### **Introduction** Video Ill.: Cat Funeral — The Skit Guys This morning, we are continuing our study The Gospel According to Peanuts.

That same heartbeat is available to us ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 129 views

    The sermon encourages embracing God’s timing, resting from roles when needed, prioritizing presence and relationships, and trusting prayer to shape our lives and seasons.

    There’s a rhythm stitched into the world by the hand of God. The tide rolls in and slips out. Winter gives way to spring. Babies cry, grandparents smile, and somewhere in between we learn how to hold on and how to let go. Seasons change. And if we’re honest, our souls feel it—the gentle tug that ...read more

    God’s presence brings peace and joy in life’s storms; we can trust Him, rejoice, and find hope even amid trials and uncertainty.

    Friend, if your week has felt like a hailstorm of headlines and heartaches, you’re in good company here. God gathers the weary and the worried and whispers hope. He knows about the tightness in your chest at 2 a.m., the text that didn’t come, the bill that did, the doctor’s words you keep ...read more

    God continually leads us in victory, spreading Christ’s transforming presence through us, even in weakness, so that others experience the hope and fragrance of grace.

    Some weeks feel like we’re pushing a grocery cart with a wobbly wheel through a crowded store—everything leaning sideways, squeaking loudly, and refusing to go where we want. And yet, here we are, gathered in grace, held by the hand of a God who never loses a battle and never misplaces a child. ...read more

    Even in our darkest disappointments and brokenness, God’s hope and faithfulness remain, inviting us to trust Him when everything else falls apart.

    Sometimes life feels like a city under siege. You plan, you pray, you press on—and then the bottom drops out. The letter arrives. The job shifts. The news blindsides. You look around and the familiar skyline of your world seems changed, scarred, and smoky. Have you ever stood there, heart in your ...read more

    The sermon urges us to open our hearts to God’s Word, allowing Him to transform us so we bear lasting spiritual fruit in our lives.

    Good morning, friends. I’m so glad we get to sit under the kindness of Jesus together today. If you could see my heart right now, you’d notice both a hunger and a hush—hunger for God’s voice and a hush that says, “Speak, Lord. I’m listening.” Isn’t that what we all long for? A steady word in a ...read more

    Following Jesus means trusting Him through every joy and trial, knowing He leads us, shapes us, and walks with us every step of the way.

    Some days feel like a string of small skirmishes—spilled coffee on the way out the door, a terse email that stings, headlines that weigh heavy.

And yet, in the middle of the noise, God offers a chair in a quiet corner, a deep breath for a weary chest, a ...read more

    Will You Remember Me?

     | 172 views

    God remembers us in life and in death; through Christ’s resurrection we are known, valued, and restored to everlasting, resurrected life with Him.

    I. THE QUESTION THAT HAUNTS THE HUMAN HEART When I was a little boy, I used to imagine my own death. I didn’t understand theology, I didn’t know Greek or Hebrew, I didn’t know about immortality or resurrection. I only knew the ache inside a child’s heart. I would picture myself buried in the ...read more

     | 76 views

    True spiritual fruitfulness comes when we surrender our lives to God, trusting Him to bring new life and abundance from our acts of faith.

    There’s a wonder in the way God works that often begins small and quiet, like a seed resting in the palm of your hand. If you’ve ever planted one, you know the hush of that moment. You press it into the soil, cover it with a thin blanket of earth, and walk away with a mixture of faith and ...read more

    Jesus calls every believer to courageous, surrendered living—trusting His authority, presence, and purpose—as we share His love and message in our everyday lives.

    Some of us came in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Some with questions that keep us awake. Some with a to-do list longer than a river. And yet, here we are, gathered under the gentle reign of the risen Christ, the One who meets us in our Mondays and our midnights. He knows the names on your ...read more

     | 149 views

    Persistent prayer matters because God hears, cares, and responds in His perfect timing, inviting us to trust Him even when answers seem delayed.

    Some prayers are born in bright rooms with balloons and birthday cake. Others are born at 2:13 a.m., when the house is quiet, the questions are loud, and the pillow is wet. Some prayers feel like sprinting—fast, full of faith. Others feel like limping—slow, sore, and short on strength. If you’ve ...read more
