    Zephaniah's purpose was to rattle the people of Judah from their sin and complacency and urge them to repentance and return to God.

    Zephaniah had cautioned the people of Judah that if they would not repent of their transgressions and return to God, all of Judah would be punished. This whole book is filled with the impending correction to come from God, but with love. The phrase “the day of the Lord” is stated seven times in the ...read more

    Faith Anchored In Hope

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 7, 2025
     | 155 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

    From Despair To Hope

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 8, 2025
     | 196 views

    Funerals today are often called celebrations of life. While we grieve, we also celebrate the hope that is ours through Christ. As Paul reminds us, we do not “grieve as others who have no hope,” for Jesus’ death and resurrection assures us of eternal life.

    Funerals are some of the hardest moments of our lives. We come with tears, with memories, with aching hearts. Death feels final. We feel the empty chair at the table. We hear the silence where laughter once rang. We even catch the scent of a shirt still hanging in the closet, and it all reminds us ...read more

    Hope Out Of Darkness

     | 910 views

    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

    The Hope That Holds Us Series

     | 254 views

    The first candle of Advent is the Candle of Hope—a small flame that speaks into the long darkness of a weary world. Hope does not deny reality; it defies it. It does not ignore the brokenness around us; it simply believes God is greater than the brokenness.

    Title: The Hope That Holds Us Text: We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.” — Psalm 33:20 The first candle of Advent is the Candle of Hope—a small flame that speaks into the long darkness of a weary world.
