    The Road Where Hope Returns

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 19, 2025
     | 280 views

    Jesus walks beside discouraged hearts, opens the Word, breaks the bread, and turns despair’s road into the path where hope returns.

    Introduction — When Hope Walks Beside You and You Don’t Know It It is late afternoon on the first Easter Sunday. Two travelers walk the dusty road westward from Jerusalem toward a village called Emmaus. Seven miles, Luke says — not far, but far enough for grief to stretch every step. Their ...read more

    Let God Be God

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 2, 2025
     | 139 views

    When denial dies and we stop playing God, repentance opens the heart to mercy, and grace restores joy that guilt once stole.

    There is a certain kind of silence that settles on the heart when we finally stop pretending. Not the silence of defeat, but the quiet that comes when we realize we were never meant to carry the whole world on our shoulders. When we stop trying to be God, something in us exhales—and God can ...read more

     | 361 views

    Offences are unavoidable, but bitterness is optional. When you respond to offence with maturity, you shut the door to the devil and open the door to healing and peace.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Luke 17:1-5 Supporting Texts: Matthew 18:15-17, Proverbs 19:11, Colossians 3:12-13, Romans 12:17-21, Ephesians 4:31-32 INTRODUCTION: Offences are a reality in life and ministry.

    Sacrificing Unto Idols

    This message opens our eyes to the tragic consequences of idolatry, showing idolatry in 3-D, through the three terms Dispossession, Desolation, and Death.

    I shared with you a few weeks ago that the Lord has impressed me to preach more on the topic of idolatry. The reason why is because I’ve been convicted that idolatry is a huge distraction that Satan uses to lure us off the path to God. The devil will use any means possible to hinder our ...read more

    Jesus seeks out the overlooked, calls us by name, and transforms our lives when we respond with open hearts, repentance, and welcome.

    If you listen closely to this old story, you may hear your name woven between the branches of a Jericho tree. Have you ever felt small in a crowd? Not in inches, but in influence? Have you ever felt unseen in a swirl of noise, pushed to the back while questions press to the front? Then you’ll feel ...read more

    Gratitude opens our hearts to God’s presence, transforming ordinary moments and burdens into opportunities for praise, hope, and deeper relationship with Him.

    Some of us walked in today with full hearts; some with heavy ones. Either way, here you are, and here God is—nearer than the breath you just took. Picture an old, sturdy gate swinging open. Hear the hinges creak a welcome. On the other side? Not a cold courtyard, but the warm smile of a Father who ...read more

    The sermon urges us to notice and compassionately respond to those in need at our gates, opening our lives and tables with urgent, Christlike love.

    Some stories slip in quietly and sit down beside you. Others knock at the front door and ask to be heard. Jesus tells one that stands at the gate. We can see him, can’t we? A rich man with linens crisp as a spring morning. A poor man with sores that sting like salt. A gate between them. A table ...read more
