    So Near -- So Far

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 28, 2025
     | 136 views

    Older brothers get lost at home—close to God yet far from His heart—but the Father invites them inside to enjoy His joy.

    INTRODUCTION – MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND Today our nation pauses to remember those who gave their lives for freedom. For many, Memorial Day is a date on the calendar; for me, it is a name. My older brother Bob, now laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery, reminds me that freedom always carries a ...read more

    Do I Even Belong?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 31, 2025
     | 103 views

    Through Christ, every orphaned heart finds adoption and belonging—turning lament into song and distance into home in the Father’s embrace.

    I. The Song That Never Dies Every culture has its songs of longing — the melodies that rise from somewhere words cannot reach. The Irish have “Danny Boy.” The Armenians sing “Dle Yaman.” The Jews mourn “By the Rivers of Babylon.” And from the dark fields of the American South came one of the most ...read more

    Lost Sons And A Prodigal Father Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Nov 3, 2025
     | 222 views

    While the parable of the prodigal son reveals some things about the lostness of the younger son, it also reveals the lostness of the elder son and the prodigal love of God.

    How do you view God? Some people view God as a heavy-handed, demanding judge with strict rules of right and wrong. Others view God like a doting grand-father who willingly gives his grandchildren whatever they want - practically spoiling them. Some may view God as aloof and distant, uninterested or ...read more

    A Heart For The Lost

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 3, 2025
     | 101 views

    God’s love moves first, searches tirelessly, and rejoices loudly—calling us to join His rescue mission for every wandering heart.

    It’s funny how easily we can tune things out. I fly often, and when the attendants go through the safety speech, hardly anyone listens. We’ve heard it all before, and it doesn’t feel relevant—we don’t expect the plane to crash. Sometimes the church sounds that way to the world. The message is ...read more

    The Plot Twist Series

     | 230 views

    Born into a broken world, we can’t rewrite the past—but grace lets us choose the ending and start again with Jesus.

    1 · The Start You Never Chose Ever think about how little control you had over showing up here? You didn’t pick your family, your DNA, your town, your decade. You didn’t choose your eye color, or your first language, or whether your parents were happily married or barely speaking. You just ...read more

    God waits for you like a father watching the horizon for his lost child. No matter how far you have wandered, His arms remain open to welcome you home today.

    5. The Prodigal Son Comes Home (A Message of God's Unconditional Love) Introduction: Understanding the Heart of the Father Before we explore this profound story from Luke 15, we must understand what Jesus wanted to teach us. He told this parable to religious leaders who criticized Him for ...read more

    I Once Was Lost But Now I'm Found

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 2, 2025
     | 211 views

    Identity is not found by looking inward but revealed by God. We are lost in self but found when the Father comes running.

    I will never forget the moment when someone I loved looked at me and said, “I need to find myself.” I can still remember the quality of the light in the room, the strange hush in the air, the way those four words seemed to rearrange the furniture of my life in an instant. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t ...read more

    My Child Has Come Home

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 3, 2025
     | 118 views

    The Father runs toward wandering children with restoring love, covering shame, celebrating repentance, and welcoming every prodigal home with joy and resurrection life.

    Introduction — When Words Can’t Touch the Wound There are some wounds in life that do not bleed outwardly, yet they bleed continuously inside a parent’s heart. These wounds have no bandage, no cast, no sling. They don’t show up in X-rays or MRIs. And yet they ache every single day. They are the ...read more

    Making Heaven Rejoice

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jan 9, 2026
     | 65 views

    There is only one thing that’s guaranteed to make all the inhabitants of heaven rejoice – a sinner repenting and being saved. This message is about our willingness to make heaven rejoice.

    Making Heaven Rejoice Good morning Second Missionary. Will you please bow for a word of prayer? Our foundational Scripture will come from Luke chapter fifteen and I will be reading verses seven and ten, which read as follows, “(7) I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over ...read more

    Restore Me To Joy

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 10, 2026
     | 170 views

    Revival begins not when we try harder, but when we see God as gracious and allow the joy of salvation to be restored.

    There is a difference between being lost and being tired. And if we don’t recognize that difference, we will keep speaking the wrong word to the wrong people. Many people in church today are not lost. They are not rebellious. They are not angry at God. They are not trying to run away. They are ...read more

    Coming Home: The Journey Of Repentance And Restoration

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Jan 12, 2026
     | 133 views

    Church, this is the very heart of the gospel! This is how God responds to genuine repentance. He doesn't just forgive us; He restores us. He doesn't just take us back; He celebrates our return.

    Coming Home: The Journey of Repentance and Restoration Luk 15:11-24 Good morning, church family! As we begin this new year together, I want to ask you a question that might make you a little uncomfortable: Have you ever found yourself far from home? Not just physically, but spiritually? Have you ...read more

    On this Father's Day, we honor all fathers and inspire them to be the best they can be through the strength of Christ. We delve into the story of the Prodigal Son, not only focusing on the son's return, but also on the unwavering faith of the father who waited.

    Today, we honor fathers and trust that, through faith, we can be the best we can be with the strength of Christ. In this sermon, we will not only look at the return of the Prodigal son but also the faith of the waiting father. In Luke 15:11-31, Jesus tells a parable about a father and his two sons. ...read more

    Exploring the similarities between the desires of earthly fathers and our Heavenly Father.

    Father’s Day Luke 15:11-32 Today, we are going to talk about Father’s Day and the role of fathers in our lives. Fathers are often seen as the providers and protectors of the family. They are different from mothers, who are known for their nurturing and healing abilities. While Mother’s Day is ...read more

    Prodigals, those who rebel and step away from God's blessings, still exist today. They indulge in reckless living, ruining their lives. But when they reach total desperation and are willing to repent, God runs to meet them and welcome them home.

    In this sermon, we will explore the parable of the Prodigal Son, which actually reveals the character and nature of our loving Heavenly Father. Jesus used this story to teach us about God's unconditional love and His willingness to embrace those who have strayed away from Him. It is important to ...read more

    Sometimes, the most detrimental thing God can do is to grant us our desires. The prodigal son's journey to a 'far country' symbolizes a place that first exists in our hearts. This journey and his eventual return home teaches us about the dangers of desire and the power of forgiveness.

    Today, we will explore the parable of the Prodigal Sons, which is the third story in a series of parables told by Jesus. This parable, along with the stories of a lost coin and a missing sheep, teaches us important lessons about God's love and forgiveness. Let us dive into the story and uncover its ...read more
