    At Cadillac Mountain, dawn hits that ridge before the rest of the country. Isaiah 9 speaks to a people in predawn darkness and promises a light that breaks in. Advent says that light has a name, Jesus, and His coming turns yokes into freedom, fear into joy, and night into morning.

    You know, I recently had the chance to take a trip to Acadia National Park in Maine. And there's this place there, Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park - where you can be the first person in America to see the sunrise. Imagine that. Wouldn’t that be cool to be able to say that you were one ...read more

    Faith Anchored In Hope

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 7, 2025
     | 138 views

    This message explores faith when life is not well — when God seems silent, unfeeling, or even contradictory. Through the lives of Job, Moses, and Abraham, we discover that true faith is not the absence of doubt but the choice to trust God in spite of doubt.

    Some of us are old enough to remember this little ditty from the 1950s: “Next time you’re found with your chin on the ground… there’s a lot to be learned, just look around. What makes that little old ant think he’ll move that rubber tree plant? Anyone knows an ant can’t… but he’s got high ...read more

    Our God is a God of Recovery. He is interested in your restoration. He is not happy when His children are not where they should be in this life. When you are lower in the status that heaven has ordained for you, heaven becomes concerned and questions the reasons.

    If you're going through a broken heart, a failed marriage, a financial disaster, a family heartache, an emotional meltdown, or a spiritual collapse, there is hope for your broken life. Jesus specializes in recovery and transformation. Our God is a God of Recovery, interested in restoring and ...read more
