  • When Fear Knocks, Faith Answers

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 275 views

    When fear knocks again, faith answers with prayer, peace, and purpose—transforming fearful hearts into fearless witnesses of God’s steadfast presence.

    I was a long way from home—traveling through Baluchistan, that barren stretch between Pakistan and Iran. The desert seemed endless, the wind dry as powder. By the time evening fell, I had found what looked like a safe spot to sleep: the flat roof of a little white-washed mosque. The stars were so ...read more

  • Where Are You? Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 12, 2025
     | 180 views

    A reflective call for a modern generation to stop hiding behind progress and rediscover God’s presence through honest surrender.

    A favorite game my boys used to play was hide-and-seek. They thought they were experts at it—but they usually hid in plain sight. One would crouch behind a curtain, little feet sticking out at the bottom. Another would dive under a blanket that looked suspiciously like a small, wiggling ...read more

  • Why Go To Church?

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 17, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,801 views

    Attending church has many benefits - social connection, uplifting messages, inspiring music, coffee. But all of those needs can be met in other ways. There is one thing, however, that is absolutely unique about meeting together to worship, and that is the promised presence of Christ among us.

    Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! How many of you are wearing green? Good for you. But - wasn’t it just Christmas a couple of weeks ago? It’s hard to believe that Easter is only two weeks away. I realize that what I’m about to say will betray my age, but don’t you find that every year seems to go by ...read more

  • Heavenly Scent

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 15, 2025
     | 197 views

    Joy becomes the fragrance of a heart touched by the gospel, where obedience grows not from pressure but from Christ living within us.

    INTRODUCTION — CHILDREN’S SONG I want to begin tonight with something simple— something every one of us learned before we could spell “theology.” A children’s song. We didn’t realize it at the time, but that little song was preaching to us long before we understood it: “I’ve got the joy, joy, ...read more

  • Whack-A-Mole

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 15, 2025
     | 232 views

    Joshua 5 shows God dismantling the inner battles that keep resurfacing, calling us from self-struggle to surrender on holy ground where victory begins.

    INTRODUCTION — THE GAME There’s a sound most of us can recognize instantly — even if it has been decades since we heard it. A ding… a buzz… a wooden mallet striking rubber. And somewhere deep inside the memory, a child’s frustration mixed with sudden triumph. Whack-A-Mole. You remember the game. ...read more

  • The Rivers Of Babylon Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 27, 2025
     | 416 views

    Psalm 137 reveals honest anguish, surrendered justice, and the God who meets us in exile, heals our wounds, and restores our song through Christ.

    There are parts of the Bible you read with a smile, parts you read with a tear… and then there are parts you read and immediately wonder, “Did God really put that in there?” Psalm 137 is one of those places. It is Scripture at its rawest. It is faith without makeup. It is spirituality without ...read more

  • When Darkness Prays Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 27, 2025
     | 183 views

    Psalm 88 reveals faithful lament in unrelenting darkness, showing God’s presence in despair and Christ’s promise to carry us toward the dawn.

    INTRODUCTION — THE NIGHT THAT NEVER BREAKS Some Psalms begin with lament and end with praise. Some start in the valley and finish on the mountaintop. Some move from tears to trust, from sorrow to singing, from pain to peace. Psalm 88 is not one of those Psalms. It is the only Psalm in the entire ...read more

  • Hey Zach, Let's Go Home

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 30, 2025
     | 271 views

    Jesus stops under our tree, calls us by name, enters our desolate house, and fills our deepest loneliness with restoring, transforming grace.

    Part One — The Ache for Home There is a painting by Norman Rockwell that I have loved for years. Even before I knew why it gripped me, it spoke to something deep inside — that universal ache, that timeless yearning we all have for home. Not simply a house or a street address, but the place where ...read more

  • Why Reaching The Top Still Feels So Empty

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 30, 2025
     | 217 views

    Success cannot heal the soul; only God’s whisper restores us. When we quit running, God meets us, feeds us, and makes us whole.

    Part One There are moments in life when you do everything right—moments when the victory is undeniable, the applause is loud, the outcome is clear—and yet something inside you feels strangely hollow. It’s bewildering. You should feel triumphant, settled, validated. But instead, the deepest parts ...read more

  • He Never Grows Weary

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 1, 2025
     | 265 views

    God strengthens the weary, comforts the discouraged, and renews His people when they place their confidence in His everlasting, unfailing presence.

    There are chapters in Scripture that stand like mountains—ancient, immense, unshakable. Isaiah 40 is one of them. You don’t so much climb this chapter as it climbs into you. It rises out of Isaiah’s prophecy like the first clear horizon after a long, dark night. For thirty-nine chapters, Isaiah ...read more

  • It's Never A Fair Fight

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 6, 2025
     | 256 views

    God has already secured your victory; every battle is tilted in your favor because Christ fights for you and lives within you.

    There is a strange honesty in the way life feels. No matter who you are, or where you’ve been, there comes a moment when you look at the landscape of your existence and whisper something with a sinking heart: “In the struggle of life, nothing is favored for my success or well-being.” That’s how ...read more

  • He Knows My Cry

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 10, 2025
     | 261 views

    Jesus knows the deepest cry of the human soul; He entered our darkness, carried our pain, and rises as the God who hears us.

    There are moments in the human journey when language becomes too small. Grief too large. Silence too heavy. And the soul… too tired to pretend. Moments when we don’t simply pray — we cry. Not the gentle kind. Not the kind you can tuck into a sentence and offer politely at prayer meeting. I’m ...read more

  • Before You Say Amen

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 22, 2025
     | 216 views

    Prayer becomes heavy when it turns into performance. Jesus calls us back to honest, relational prayer—where pretending ends and real communion with God begins.

    There are few subjects in the church that create more confusion—and more quiet frustration—than prayer. Not because people don’t believe in it. Most Christians believe deeply in prayer. They would defend it without hesitation. They know it matters. They know it’s essential. They know it’s supposed ...read more

  • When God Fills The Church

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Aug 24, 2024
     | 1,271 views

    Introduction: In the dedication of Solomon’s Temple, we witness a profound moment where God’s presence descends like a cloud, filling the house of the Lord with His glory. This event is more than just a historical account; it is a powerful reminder of what it means for God to fill His church today.

    25 August 2024 FOURTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST, YEAR B New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition Dedication of the Temple 8 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the ancestral houses of the Israelites, before King Solomon in Jerusalem, to ...read more

  • Faith Through Storms

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 18, 2025
     | 190 views

    Faith through storms means trusting the unseen Christ, whose presence anchors us when silence roars and waves threaten to overwhelm.

    The Wreck The November wind howled across Lake Superior like a living thing—cold, relentless, merciless. The kind of wind that makes grown men tighten their collars and check their ropes twice. It was November 10, 1975, when the Edmund Fitzgerald—a massive ore freighter, proud and trusted—faced ...read more
