We have the Transfiguration - an amazing event. We have an exorcism so difficult that the disciples couldn’t do it - an ...read more

     | 123 views

    It is sad when people lose hope and just wait for their end. We look at the great sadness of the survivors in Judah after the Babylonian destruction. We examine repentance, and the seriousness of sin. What can we do for despairing people? Let us not turn away from honesty in this.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 36 – HOPELESS PEOPLE IN A DESPERATE SITUATION. GREAT SADNESS IN THE WORLD - CHAPTER 4:17-19 The next 4 verses move back to the details of the suffering of the survivors and we take this verse by verse - PART [17].

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: The history of our nation with Judeo-Christian leanings is deeply engraved with the acknowledgment that their founding principles were influenced by God's Word.

    John 2 -- Cana Wedding God brings abundance out of emptiness.

    Introduction: Seven Signs, One God Revealed I heard about a man who was driving across the country with his wife. They pulled off the interstate to stop for gas, and while he was filling the tank, his wife went inside the convenience store. When she came back out, she was laughing. “What’s so ...read more

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 7, 2025
     | 107 views

    God’s everlasting love transforms mortal believers into ever-loving saints who rest in Christ now and rise with Him at His coming

    INTRODUCTION — THE QUESTIONS LOVE ASKS It’s not the loudest questions that stay with us. It’s the quiet ones — the ones whispered by an empty chair, a photograph, or a fading voice. Questions like: Where are they now? Do they see us? Are they watching? Is death the end — or a pause between ...read more

    The Cross Marks The Spot

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 7, 2025
     | 114 views

    At Calvary, heaven’s greatest treasure was revealed — where justice and mercy meet, sin is broken, and every seeker finds redemption through Christ’s cross.

    INTRODUCTION — THE TREASURE WE’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR Every child dreams of buried treasure. We’ve all seen the movies — a worn map, a red “X,” a promise whispered through time: “Somewhere out there, something precious is waiting to be found.” But what if I told you that the greatest treasure in the ...read more

    Hand Him Your Heart

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 111 views

    God seeks not our money but our hearts—surrendered lives whose joyful generosity springs from grace, proving that sanctification transforms every part of us.

    Proverbs 23:26 > “My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.” That single verse is a tender invitation. God doesn’t demand—He asks. He reaches out His hand and says, “Give Me your heart.” Not your résumé, not your reputation, not your records of what you’ve given ...read more

    Don’t Poke The Lion

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 22, 2025
     | 643 views

    We humans are wrongly unafraid of God's fiercest creatures. Wisdom dictates we shouldn't "poke the lion." There are at least 3 lions in Scripture: the devil, the church, and the Son of God, Jesus.

    DON’T POKE THE LION Num. 24:8-9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: SNORING IN CHURCH 1. A man went to see his doctor for advice about being cured of snoring. The doctor asked, “Does your snoring disturb your wife?” 2. The patient replied, “Does it disturb my wife? Why it disturbs the entire ...read more

    The Good Fight

    Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Oct 25, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 507 views

    Life on earth is temporary. What we do with the time we have here will depend on where we spend eternity. Paul is pouring out his innermost feelings and advice on how to finish the race well. It is a fight, but a good one.

    Death bed narratives are when people share their innermost feelings at the most vulnerable time of their lives. It is their last words and can be secrets they have held on to for their entire lives or it can be valuable advice or instruction to those whom they love so very much. I am suggesting ...read more

    When Jesus Builds The Church

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 118 views

    What It Takes to Be a Light in a Dark World. Jesus calls His church to reject comfort, silence, and spectacle, and stand strong in His presence, Spirit, and Word.

    Picture Jesus, freshly baptized, water still drying on his shoulders, the voice of the Father ringing in his soul. “You are my beloved Son.” The dove has barely taken flight. That is exactly when the devil comes calling. Nobody gets a free victory lap after baptism. The real fight often starts ...read more

    Jesus came to save us, is transforming us today, and will return in glory to take us home forever. Trust Him now.

    INTRODUCTION Christmas always pulls us into memory. We can’t help it. Every song, every smell, every blinking light seems to whisper something from yesterday. I have ornaments on my tree that are so old they have seen better decades. Some are handmade, held together by glue and nostalgia. Others ...read more

    A Day In His Presence

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025
     | 125 views

    Better a single day near God than a thousand apart; the humble heart at His door already walks in eternal joy.

    There are passages in Scripture that seem to sing even when you read them silently. Psalm 84 is one of those sacred songs. It isn’t just poetry — it’s testimony. It’s the song of a traveler whose feet are dusty, whose heart is homesick for God, whose eyes are fixed on the courts of the Lord. > ...read more
