    Standing In The Storm

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 200 views

    Jesus teaches that storms are inevitable, but collapse is not; lives anchored in obedience to Christ stand firm when pressure reveals the foundation beneath them.

    There are storms we prepare for, and there are storms that arrive without warning. Some give us time. We see the clouds gathering. We hear the forecasts. We sense the pressure building in the air. Others come suddenly—without courtesy, without explanation, without asking whether this is a ...read more

    High Hopes When All Is Not Well

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 269 views

    Faith is not measured by certainty or outcomes, but by a living relationship with Jesus—trusting Him faithfully when answers are delayed and life remains unresolved.

    Some of us are old enough to remember a simple song that used to show up on the radio and in cartoons. It wasn’t trying to be profound. It wasn’t aiming for insight. It was lighthearted—almost silly. And yet, it stayed with people far longer than you’d expect. --- High Hopes Next time you're ...read more

    The Question Evil Can’t Answer

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 29, 2025
     | 136 views

    Evil remains a mystery, but the cross reveals God’s character. He enters human suffering, bears its weight, and assures us that love—not evil—has the final word.

    There are certain questions that do not arise from curiosity, but from collision. They are not born in classrooms or debates, but in moments when life presses hard against the soul and refuses to explain itself. These questions surface when loss interrupts routine, when suffering enters without ...read more

    Living Between Prayer And Promise

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 8, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 214 views

    Live faithfully between prayer and promise—trust God’s future, obey His present reign, and rest in hope until Christ returns.

    Most of our lives are not lived at the beginning of a story or at the end of one. They are lived somewhere in the middle — in that long, unfinished stretch where things are still forming, still unresolved, still waiting to make sense. We live between what has already been spoken and what has not ...read more

    God’s Grace Collides With Culture

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 6, 2024
     | 1,146 views

    Unless you happen to be like the man who said: "I am not prejudiced, I hate everyone!" All of us if we are honest are prejudiced. When prejudice is in operation, it will always collide with God's grace.

    Sermon - God’s Grace Collides With Culture Scripture: Acts 10:1-23 “In Caesarea there lived a Roman army officer named Cornelius, who was a captain of the Italian Regiment. He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was everyone in his household. He gave generously to the poor and prayed regularly to ...read more

     | 2,248 views

    If you want to get rid of the shame of your past, reject the condemnation of your accusers and receive the commendation of Christ. Trust Jesus with your life and let Him take away your shame, let Him take the blame, so you are never the same again.

    Did You Sell Your Soul To The Devil And Now Want It Back?

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Oct 8, 2024
     | 728 views

    The lie of the devil is a person can never escape his clutches. Yet it doesn't matter how deep into darkness we have gone, Jesus provides us away of escape at the Cross.

    Read it or watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMGZ4fRF0nY Lately within the entertainment industry we have heard from numerous entertainers that have confessed to selling their souls to the Devil.

    Mourning To Morning: Yes—it’s Ok

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 5, 2025
     | 350 views

    Life leaves us with memories—some warm us, and some wound us. If we spend our time looking back, we risk missing the new thing God is doing right in us.

    — THE PROBLEM: WHY WE KEEP LOOKING BACK Life leaves us with memories. Some of them warm us. Some of them wound us. And some of them quietly shape us long after the moment has passed. Most of us don’t notice how much time we spend replaying our lives. We replay conversations we wish had gone ...read more

    Martha's Lament

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Sep 13, 2025
     | 442 views

    Martha felt free to speak the words of disappointment and anger that we sometimes feel but are hesitant to speak. This message examines Martha's words as a model for biblical lament.

    She was frustrated, disappointed and angry. And she wasn’t holding it back. Her brother had been sick, and as his condition continued to deteriorate, Martha and her sister Mary had sent a message to their friend Jesus. In a situation, which seemed to have no hope, Jesus provided hope. They had ...read more

    In this final message of the Rooted series, we are called to surrender to God’s pruning, examine the fruit of our lives, and live Spirit-led, obedient lives that bear lasting fruit—becoming faithful laborers in a world ripe for the harvest.

    The Harvest Matthew 9:35-38 How I love the autumn season! There's something about this time of year that stirs the soul—inviting reflection, gratitude, and wonder.

    A Peculiar People: Distinctiveness That Reflects Christ

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 26, 2026
     | 154 views

    Scripture describes a peculiar people, not withdrawn but faithful, following the Lamb, recognizable by reflecting Christ’s character, carrying truth that always walks alongside mercy together.

    There are moments in the life of the church when the conversation feels heavier than usual. Not louder. Not angrier. Just heavier. You hear it in the way we talk about the times we’re living in. In phrases that surface again and again: “Things are accelerating.” “Prophecy is lining up.” “We’re ...read more

    Philadelphia: When Faithfulness Is Protected Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Feb 2, 2026
     | 38 views

    Philadelphia reveals faithfulness without strength: Jesus sees quiet obedience, keeps His people near, opens doors by grace, and promises permanent belonging forever.

    By the time we arrive at Philadelphia, we think we’re on familiar ground. The city of brotherly love. We’ve heard the phrase before. We know how it’s supposed to sound. No Quakers. No Liberty Bell. No 76ers or Eagles. No cheesesteaks. This Philadelphia is older than the phrase as we use it—and ...read more
