    Come Together, Right Now

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 5, 2025
     | 210 views

    Christ unites a divided people into one redeemed family, tearing down walls of pride and fear until His peace fills every heart.

    INTRODUCTION The Beatles once sang, “Come together, right now…” It was a cry for unity in a world already spinning apart—an anthem of longing to belong, to find common ground again. Yet half a century later, that echo still rings hollow. We’re more connected than ever, but somehow more divided ...read more

    A sermon to adults on really knowing where you stand with God

    John 8:20-36 11/9/25 a.m. “Know the Truth” The 8th Chapter of the Book of John is a well known Chapter because of the way it begins. In Verse 3, a woman is brought to Jesus accused of Adultery. We all know the story right? What do we do with her Jesus? Kill her? Let her go? Well, Jesus stoops ...read more

    Seals And Trumpets And Bowls, Oh My! (Revelation 6-16) Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Nov 8, 2025
     | 214 views

    Revelation 6–16 can feel like the scariest part of the journey—war, famine, plagues, and wrath. But behind every seal, trumpet, and bowl stands a merciful God whose justice is never chaotic, always redemptive. When God wins, we win—and the story that began with mercy ends with mercy.

    Good morning! Please open your Bibles to Revelation 6. Some of you may find this hard to believe, but back in the olden days—the 1970s—there was no streaming, no DVDs, and definitely no pause button. VCRs existed, but they cost over a thousand dollars, so nobody you knew actually had one. If ...read more

    JESUS’ death was not "THE END"; it was the fulfillment of Prophecy, the Payment for sin, and the Prelude to VICTORY. The Cross and the Tomb Reveal the KING’s Divine Authority, Sacrificial Love, and THE Unstoppable Plan of GOD the FATHER.

    Light For The Journey PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 23, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 94 views

    God’s Word provides steady guidance and comfort in life’s uncertainties, offering just enough light for each step as we trust and obey Him.

    There’s a memory some of us share. The wind howled, the house sighed, and then—click—darkness. The power cut out, and every familiar hallway turned into a maze. You reached for a drawer, found an old flashlight, and with a small circle of light, you made your way. Not floodlights. Not daylight. ...read more

    God invites us to find true safety, peace, and courage by dwelling in His presence and trusting His faithful protection amid life’s storms.

    Some of us came in today with hands full and hearts heavy. Bills on the counter, headlines on the phone, questions in the dark. Life can feel like a storm that lingers—raindrops of worry, winds of weariness. And yet, over every squall, our Father holds out an umbrella that doesn’t falter: His ...read more

    Trusting Jesus brings peace amid life’s storms, as He prepares a true home for us and invites us to reflect His welcoming love to others.

    If you’ve ever come home on a rainy night, you know the relief of a porch light and a door that opens. Shoes squeak, coat drips, and someone says, "You’re here. Sit down. You’re safe." Isn’t it something how a house can feel like a hug? Smells of supper in the air, a chair pulled out just for you, ...read more

     | 164 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

     | 73 views

    Following Jesus means daily self-denial and cross-bearing, trusting His worth and grace, and surrendering our lives to His call in every circumstance.

    Friends, welcome. Some of us arrived with hurried hearts and heavy hands. Some of us smiled at the door and sighed in the seat. Wherever you are, come close. Hear the whisper of Jesus that cuts through the noise and the nagging: I see you. I love you. Walk with Me. He doesn’t wave us onward like a ...read more

     | 1,038 views

    Acts 13:13-52 shows us that the unchanging gospel is rooted in God’s faithfulness and must be boldly proclaimed to all, no matter the opposition we face.

    Introduction I am preaching through the Book of Acts in a series titled “Turning the World Upside Down.” Imagining the gospel's astonishing impact in the first century isn't easy. There were a little more than 500 Christians worldwide at the time of Jesus' resurrection (see 1 ...read more

     | 1,293 views

    The four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John explain the many ways in which God provides us through the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand.

    I recall a day at Trinity College Theological School when, during a Homiletics Class, a mature-aged feminist student preparing for ministry challenged me. She demanded that I account for the disciples counting only the men to the exclusion of women and children in the story of Jesus feeding the ...read more

    Sermon: God’s Drum Major For Justice

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 15, 2025
     | 901 views

    God is a just God and He desires His world to be a just world. The Lord vindicates his people, punishes evil, and cares for the marginalized. He opposes the wicked, whether individuals or nations and He will one day set all things right. God’s promises are sure!

    Sermon: God’s Drum Major for Justice Scripture Lesson: Amos 5:21-25 “I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me. Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no ...read more

    Heaven Opens The Books

     | 201 views

    When heaven opens the books, God’s justice, mercy, and love stand revealed—and the Lamb alone secures our place in eternity.

    There are moments in Scripture when the veil between heaven and earth grows thin—moments when we see something of God that we rarely think about. One of those moments is in the book of Daniel. He writes: “The court was seated, and the books were opened.” — Daniel 7:10 Just a simple line. But ...read more
