    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

    Seven Sayings From The Empty Tomb

     | 8,482 views

    The "sayings" each represent a word of hope and encouragement to anyone who would turn to Christ and the power of the resurrection. These are words to live by because they are words of life! That’s what the Cross and the Resurrection mean for us!

    The Return Of Jesus: A Shining Sun In Our Christian Sky Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 12, 2024
     | 1,025 views

    The word tells us not to grieve for the dead in Christ like the rest of the world. Because though the world doesn’t have hope, we have an eternal hope. It’s bright and it’s shining, it’s strong and consistent, much like Earth’s sun. It shines day and night. Whether we see it or not, it keeps shining

    When talking about a vision from God, we have to understand that we can't take it at the same level as scripture. It's a testimony, a vision, something we test against the word of God and prayer. But I sensed God asking me to share a bit of this testimony. I had a vision from God when I ...read more

    This is a sermon on 1 Peter 3:15 and the need for Scripture memorization in order to be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have in Jesus Christ.

    John The Baptist Shows How In The Wilderness, God Uses Harsh Mercy To Feed Our Deepest Spiritual Hunger.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Dec 7, 2025
     | 158 views

    God used John the Baptist because the people were spiritually hungry, and longed for something real. John was harsh but hopeful, and used the wilderness, to renew Gods people through honesty and humility.

    Introduction: Our Gospel reading today begins with a cry from the wilderness—not the voice of a king, nor the voice of someone celebrated or important, but the bold, lonely voice of John the Baptist declaring, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” 1. A Voice in the Wilderness A lonely ...read more

     | 2,961 views

    Advent is a time to celebrate both the past and the future, as we remember when Jesus. End times prophesy can be horrific, and the last thing we want to hear at during advent. But there is hope, and people need to hear it.

    God made a promise to Abraham. It was a promise of His grace and blessing. Paul reminds the Galatians of this promise. He reveals it to you and me in hopes we will receive it.

    Introduction: In my sermon last week the Galatians proved something. They proved that even though God through His Son, Jesus Christ had made them heirs to that promise He had made to Abraham many years before, they had still followed an unseemly path and had rejected that promise by turning away ...read more

    Love is the very center of what it means to be a Christian. Nothing we do or have can replace it. Greater than faith, greater than hope, is love.

    Notice the five things here that are empty without love: Tongues, prophecy, faith, generosity, sacrifice. Not just any kind of tongues, prophecy, faith, generosity and sacrifice, but the ultimate kind. Tongues of men and of angels. Prophecy that fathoms all mystery and knowledge. Faith that can ...read more
