    Wicked Men Instruments To Serve God’s Own Purpose

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jan 10, 2026
     | 72 views

    This morning let us recognize a spiritual tactic of God using wicked men as instruments to serve His purpose.

    Apostle John has written one of the Gospels recorded in the New Testament. His account of the life of Jesus of Nazzreth differs from the other accounts due to the main theme of which John tries to speak to the reader. When we compare the four accounts of the life of Jesus we find each told their ...read more

    How Much Pain Can A Heart Absorb Before It Goes Numb?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 10, 2026
     | 81 views

    Addresses how prolonged suffering leads to spiritual numbness, how biblical lament keeps faith honest, and how Christ answers pain not with distance, but with presence and costly, enduring love.

It is constant. It streams. It scrolls. It updates every few minutes. War. Displacement. Hunger. Violence. ...read more

    Life The Grave Could Not Keep

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 22, 2026
     | 137 views

    Death interrupts life, but God confronts it directly, restores what was lost, and promises a future where the grave does not prevail.

    (A message centered on life, not escape.) Death is not something most of us think about very often—until it interrupts us. It interrupts a conversation that wasn’t finished. A relationship that still had words left unsaid. A life that was still in the middle of becoming something. Death rarely ...read more

    Smyrna: When Faithfulness Is Not Safe Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 28, 2026
     | 87 views

    Faithfulness does not deny suffering; it refuses fear’s authority, trusting Jesus with loss, future, and life itself when allegiance becomes costly.

    Smyrna is the second letter, and it immediately feels different from the first. Ephesus dealt with something quiet — love thinning over time. Smyrna deals with something loud — pressure that does not pretend to be gentle. This letter is not about erosion from within; it is about weight pressing ...read more
