Malachi's message was to let the people know emphatically that God loved them, but God wanted to know if they were “For Him or Against Him?”

Not By Might But By My Spirit

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Nov 8, 2025

This sermon proclaims that God’s work in rebuilding His temple—and in strengthening His people today—is never accomplished by human effort but solely by the empowering, obstacle-flattening, hope-renewing work of the Holy Spirit.

Not by Might but by My Spirit Zechariah 4:1-9 Let’s begin with the remarkable story of how God’s people — weary from exile yet renewed by hope — rebuilt the house of the Lord. Because of their idolatry, moral corruption, and rejection of God’s prophets, the nation of Judah fell to ...read more

Live A Life Worthy Of The Gospel

This is week #6 in my series "At the Core"

If you’ve ever been to a fancy restaurant, you know there’s a certain way you’re supposed to act. You don’t wear jeans and a t-t-shirt. You don’t slurp. You don’t yell across the room. And you definitely don’t ask the waiter, “Hey, y’all got chicken nuggets?” Why is that? Because the environment ...read more

Faith That Prays Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 3, 2026

When injustice and God’s silence confuses us, true faith does not walk away but cries out honestly, bows humbly before God’s sovereignty, trusts His wisdom even when His methods are unsettling, and continues in prayerful dependence until faith rests fully in His unchanging character.

Why does God allow injustice to exist? We turn on the news and watch oppressors rise without restraint. They redraw moral boundaries, rewrite history, and wield power with seeming impunity. The innocent suffer. The vulnerable are crushed. Entire peoples are marginalized, displaced, or ...read more

Twenty-Four Carat Faith

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 11, 2025

We don’t have to suffer for our faith. But we do have to live for it. And if we never grate against a sinful world, how true to Christ are we being?

Peter is one of my favorite Bible characters. He’s the one who always opens his mouth before his brain has switched into gear and that’s a failing I have a lot of sympathy with. Remember when the disciples were alone on the boat out in the middle of the Sea of Galilee and they saw Jesus walking ...read more

A Long Campaign

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 16, 2025

In God’s time we will see the results of what we have done, even if someone else completes the work, just as Timothy built on Paul’s foundation.

My own graduation from high school and departure to college is so long ago and far away that I can hardly remember it. On the other hand, I graduated from seminary almost 30 years later, and so it’s much closer. There’s a lot the two have in common: leaving behind the old familiar, and going off ...read more

Making Mountains Out Of Molehills

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 24, 2026

Small, unattended permissions become spiritual strongholds, but through Christ, every entrenched lie and pattern can be confronted, dismantled, and replaced with freedom.

Most of the damage we do to our spiritual lives does not begin with big sins or dramatic failures. It begins with small things we underestimate. A reaction we excuse. A habit we postpone dealing with. A thought we repeat often enough that it starts to feel true. We tell ourselves, “This is ...read more
