    “And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends.” Our own deliverance may hinge on how we pray for others. This is a rewrite of Charles Spurgeon's great message.

    Last Tuesday I heard news that a church member at Sacramento suddenly passed away. On Sunday I actually still had a chance to chat with him after my sermon. That makes me realize that our time always gets closer. Then what should we do with such a short time?

    Sermon # 4 - In God's True Image Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 12, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 344 views

    God’s image in us as human beings is what makes us special. But, we should also bear in mind that we are the temple of the living God and He dwells within us. Only when we live in total obedience to His word will all of our confusions be turned to peace and rest.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (ESV) The word of God counsels us ...read more

    The strains of life for many of us can be difficult. You may ask, with all the success Simone Biles has had, her success, with so much to be proud of, how she could possibly have so many struggles.

    When Your Soul Talks Back

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 93 views

    When your soul talks back with despair, answer it with Spirit-filled faith — stir up the gift and praise your God again.

    There are moments in life when faith feels like it’s lost its soundtrack. You still know the words, you still come to church, you still bow your head for prayer — but inside, something has gone quiet. You’re mouthing the lines of faith, yet your soul isn’t singing along. That’s what Psalm 42 feels ...read more

    Dying daily is surrendering control so Christ’s life may flow freely—trusting His Spirit, not our feelings, to guide every moment.

    1. When the Pilot Lets Go Faith is learning to fly with someone else’s hands on the controls. You can’t see everything. You can’t always feel what’s happening.
