God Won’t Give Up On You

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 10, 2025

When grace chases you down, don’t run — look up. God’s mercy can reach you even in the belly of despair.

(Jonah’s Prayer) Introduction – A Strange Place to Pray The Bible contains some very peculiar verses, doesn’t it? And I must say, the story we’re looking at today begins and ends with two of the strangest. Jonah 2:1 — “From inside the fish Jonah prayed.” Jonah 2:10 — “And the Lord commanded the ...read more

When Your Dreams Fall Into The Pit Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 14, 2025

Like Israel sent Joseph to his brothers because of his love and concern for his rebellious children, God sent His son Jesus out of love for a world that is lost and distant from Him because of their sin. God is concerned for both your daily and eternal welfare.

Today, we are in Genesis 37. If you remember, for 20 years Jacob went from running, to wrestling, to resolving issues with God and his brother Esau. On his journey back home to Hebron, he endured deep sorrow — the rape of his daughter, Dinah, the shame of his sons’ violent revenge, and the loss of ...read more

Homeward Bound

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 18, 2025

Through Christ, the orphaned heart finds adoption, belonging, and peace — turning every cry of distance into a song of homecoming.

There’s something universal about songs of longing. Every culture has them — songs that rise up from somewhere deep in the soul, where words alone can’t quite reach. The Irish have “Danny Boy,” the Armenians have “Dle Yaman,” the Jews sing “By the Rivers of Babylon,” and African-American slaves ...read more

Faith through storms means trusting the unseen Christ, whose presence anchors us when silence roars and waves threaten to overwhelm.

The Wreck The November wind howled across Lake Superior like a living thing—cold, relentless, merciless. The kind of wind that makes grown men tighten their collars and check their ropes twice.

Unbind Him

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 19, 2025

Jesus calls the dead to life; the church removes the grave clothes. Revival begins when love sets the living truly free.

“Unbind Him and Let Him Go” The crowd gasped. What they saw could not be explained, only believed. Lazarus stood there blinking in the daylight of mercy, wrapped head to toe in the fabric of his own funeral. He was alive—but still bound. And Jesus said, “Unbind him, and let him go.” I love ...read more

Dying To Know

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 19, 2025

Where Is God When It Hurts?

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 22, 2025

When life hurts, God’s presence sustains, His sovereignty prevails, and His purpose transforms suffering into glory through the Cross of Christ.

There are times when life just doesn’t make sense. You love God. You serve Him. You try to walk uprightly. Yet pain seems to find you like a heat-seeking missile. You look around, and the wicked are prospering, the proud are climbing, and the people who mock God seem to have the easiest lives of ...read more

Creation will be restored; sin and death ended. God brings humanity home forever. We will see His face and live with Him.

(The Long Road Home) Home. It’s the one word that can make grown adults swallow hard and stare off into the distance like they just remembered something important.
