    God Hears My Song

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 28, 2025
     | 106 views

    You were created for more than success, noise, and survival. Discover the God who awakens your longing for something real.

    (When the Soul Remembers God) There are moments in life when the noise finally settles… and the questions we’ve kept buried begin to rise. Maybe it happens late at night when sleep won’t come. Maybe during a long commute when the mind has too much room. Maybe in a moment when everything looks fine ...read more

    Christ warned about the mindset of Monopoly, but all board games have some way to measure success: determining how you win or lose. How do measure success in how we live for Christ? How do we know whether we've actually stored up treasures in heaven?

    Lead-in with the following video: http://discoverychurch.com/messages/actually-win-losing/ (first 24 seconds) How many of you have ever played Monopoly? (ask for a show of hands). Me too.

    Divine Strategy

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Aug 19, 2013
     | 12,856 views

    In order to be truly successful, you must not only know where you want to go, but how you want to get there. In other words, you must not only have a goal, but a plan to reach that goal. You might call that plan a strategy. Strategy comes before success, both in the dictionary and in life.

    Divine Strategy Mark 3:7-19 7 Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and also from Judea, 8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon, a great number of people heard of all that He ...read more

    Let's talk about these 6 relationships killers (Material adapted from Timothy Lane and Paul Tripp's book, Relationships: A Mess Worth Making, Chapter 4 Sin, pgs. 29- 40; and Chapter 8 Obstacles, pgs. 77-90)

    HoHum: Larry Crabb said in his book called The Safest Place on Earth- “The difference between spiritual and unspiritual community is not whether conflict exists, but is rather in our attitude toward it and our approach to handling it.

    We all face obstacles (boulders) in our life. Sometimes these boulders become bigger than they actually are. This Easter Sermon encourages us to allow Jesus to be the one who deals with the boulders in our life.

    New things in our life changes a lot of things. Anyone ever had a new baby in their life? Do you remember the changes that it meant? What about a new home or a new school? Or perhaps a new boyfriend or girl friend? New things bring changes to our lives. And Christ’s resurrection changes things, ...read more

    The Circumstances of Life vs. Our Faith In life we often face challenges, obstacles, events, trials, tribulations, temptations and troubles, all of which brings with it confusion and confoundedness to our spiritual sense – our faith.

    This is one of those studies that God gave me, for me, but it is also to share with everyone. Truly meant to bless all of us.

    Jesus Cleans Series

     | 3,000 views

    The only obstacle that stood between this man and full health was Jesus’ willingness. Somewhere in the solitude of this lonely life, this man’s mental processes discovered that if only Jesus wanted to heal him, he would be healed.

    This is the fourth message in a series, Plastic Jesus: How Did Someone So Real Become So Fake? We’ve been looking over the shoulder of Luke as he’s written his Gospel to communicate to us who Jesus is. We’ve seen Jesus make His hometown synagogue so angry that they tried to kill Him. We watched as ...read more

     | 1,590 views

    In Acts 5, we encounter the tale of Ananias and Sapphira. The essential elements of the story—the deception, the devil, the deaths, and the dread—work together to remind us that sin and Satan are serious obstacles in our journey with Jesus.

    We Are Made Righteous By Faith (Second Sunday Of Lent, March 5, 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2023
     | 2,267 views

    How would you like to take a test that had a different rule for success? Instead of so many points for an “A”, so many for a “B” and so on, the success of the test would be based on an “all or nothing rule”. So you would have to get a 100% to pass on every test every single day.

    WE ARE MADE RIGHTEOUS BY FAITH Text: Romans 4:1-5, 13-17 Romans 4:1-5  What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter?  (2)  If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. ...read more

    God desires for us to fulfill during our lifetime what is available to us that are identified in scripture. I call them God’s “bucket list” for us.

    Your Bucket List Turn with me to First Timothy 6. On Tuesday I will have a birthday. I mention that because the verse we’re going to read hit me in a different way – in a way that it has never hit me before.

    Jesus invites us to rethink how we evaluate human worth with a parable about a successful man whom God regarded as a fool.

    Text: Luke 12:15-21 Introduction This passage of Scripture is troubling. It may not strike us as troubling on the surface. Indeed we are likely to say the obligatory “Amen” on reading or hearing this passage read in worship. (Remember Amen means “so let it be” or “I agree, I concur, I ...read more
