    When "If” Met "So”

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 4, 2025
     | 180 views

    From the serpent’s "if" that birthed doubt to the Savior’s "so" that proved love, redemption silences every question with grace.

    I. YOU STILL CALL MY NAME — THE CRISIS OF CONFESSION WITHOUT CHARACTER There are small words that change destinies—and none smaller than if. Two letters that separate ruin from renewal, noise from nearness. When Solomon dedicated the temple, the glory of God fell like fire. The priests couldn’t ...read more

    When The Mantle Must Rest PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 24, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 122 views

    The sermon encourages embracing God’s timing, resting from roles when needed, prioritizing presence and relationships, and trusting prayer to shape our lives and seasons.

    There’s a rhythm stitched into the world by the hand of God. The tide rolls in and slips out. Winter gives way to spring. Babies cry, grandparents smile, and somewhere in between we learn how to hold on and how to let go. Seasons change. And if we’re honest, our souls feel it—the gentle tug that ...read more

     | 3,525 views

    In an era when the contrast between the rich and the poor is most pronounced–our own time–like Francis, we are all called to follow the example of Christ in simplicity and poverty.

    Tuesday of the 4th Week in Lent 2019 San Francisco di Paola One of the dominant themes of both the OT and the NT stories is what we have to look forward to in the kingdom of God. God’s kingdom, when we are confirmed as its citizens after our life on this earth, is a reign of plenty, a restoration ...read more

     | 6,980 views

    Church leaders are appointed to protect the flock. When the protectors become predators, you may be sure that God will shortly expose the sin and deliver judgement.

    “Jerusalem sinned grievously; therefore, she became filthy; all who honored her despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans and turns her face away.” [1] Shocked, disgusted, grieved, hurt—what a confused jumble of emotions flooded the heart of Christians when they ...read more

     | 6,421 views

    When God blesses us with moments of joy, we must give ourselves to the joy and dance with all our might. The Holy Spirit will not have it any other way

    It had been a rocky ride for David… with little more than a prayer, he had slain Goliath, but he had also been a victim of Saul’s madness, He had experienced great highs and some deep lows, but now, he was dancing with all his might, because he was bringing the ark home. The ark ...read more

     | 33,702 views

    When a Christian sins relationship is NOT altered, position is NOT altered, BUT fellowship is broken.

    WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CHRISTIAN SINS? PSALM 51 Scripture makes it abundantly clear that if we believe in Jesus and have put our trust in Him, then we are His, and nothing or no-one can change that. How wonderful it is to know that we are secure in the Lord Jesus Christ! WELL THEN, SINCE THE ...read more

     | 10,799 views

    God was at His best when he forgave a sinner on Nov. 7, 1978 in a church in Mpls. Mn.. To me that was the day God was at His best! The premise is God is at His best when he saves souls.

     | 9,232 views

    Whenever God’s people are doing something good, Satan tries to destroy it by any means possible. Whenever the church attempts to do something great, Satan steps in to destroy the church. From the moment the church was born, this has been the war plan..

    WHEN THE CHURCH BEGAN TO MULTIPLY… ACTS 6:1-7: And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the ...read more

    What do you do when everything seems hopeless and you don't know what to do? The events in the life of Jehoshaphat provide encouragement when we face trials, trouble, and impossible situations.

    God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit have done their part for all people to be able to celebrate!

    We noted last week from Luke 14 that selfish pride ignores God and will lead to troubles. The ultimate trouble of course is to be completely separated from God and be tormented with judgment forever. Sadly, many today do ignore God and this ultimate trouble may come to them soon. Do we see people ...read more
