    Jesus' Credentials Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 10, 2021
     | 2,572 views

    Jesus’ identity is shown as we research Jesus’ family tree. And Jesus’ identity is shown as we see Him fend off Satan’s attacks - the very attacks that were driven to distort Jesus’ special identity.

    Jesus' Meal With Matthew Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,406 views

    If the gospel is only successful among one stratum of society, it loses its punch. But if the gospel assembles people from both sides of the track (rich and poor), there is an intrigue to the gospel.

    Jesus kept the wrong company. In the later decades of the nineteenth century, Hell’s Half-Acre was known as the red-light district of Fort Worth. While the area was cleared in the 1960s for the Tarrant County Convention Center, it was, as the name suggests, a rough and rowdy district. In the ...read more

    Religious Play-Acting

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 9, 2025
     | 151 views

    Jesus frees us from religion’s stage—calling us from performance to presence, from spotlight to sunlight, to live unmasked before the Father.

    Religious Play-Acting The Sermon on the Mount opens with blessing and ends with a choice: sand or rock, appearance or obedience. Between those two poles, Matthew 6 sits like a quiet heart—Jesus’ exposition of motive. Here the Lord shifts from what disciples do to why they do it. He moves from ...read more

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 266 views

    Faith is not measured by certainty or outcomes, but by a living relationship with Jesus—trusting Him faithfully when answers are delayed and life remains unresolved.

    Some of us are old enough to remember a simple song that used to show up on the radio and in cartoons. It wasn’t trying to be profound. It wasn’t aiming for insight. It was lighthearted—almost silly. And yet, it stayed with people far longer than you’d expect. --- High Hopes Next time you're ...read more

    Is It Time To Confess Our Sins?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 2, 2026
     | 177 views

    Golden Calf idolatry reveals how cherished sin destroys fellowship, while confession opens the way for God’s mercy, forgiveness, and restoration.

    There are moments in Scripture that are so disturbing, so uncomfortable, that we are tempted to read past them quickly. We would rather not linger there. We would prefer safer passages—stories of deliverance, victory, faith rewarded. But the Word of God does not allow us that luxury. There are ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 133 views

    This message looks in great detail at how the graves were opened after Jesus’s death and resurrection. The power of the resurrection can raise us from our spiritual grave into newness of life, if we put our faith and trust in Jesus.

    Allow me to open our Easter message with an illustration: Eight-year-old Philip had been born with a disability. He looked and acted different from his classmates, and so he never was part of the group. On Palm Sunday, Philip’s Sunday school teacher gave each of her students a plastic egg – the ...read more

    Jesus’ sacrifice fully cleanses our deepest guilt, offering complete forgiveness and hope, because we are more loved in Christ than we ever imagined.

    Some stains laugh at soap. You scrub and soak, and they just smile back at you. Life has its stains too—memories that will not fade, words we wish we never said, habits that haunt our sleep. We carry quiet shame the way a traveler shoulders a heavy pack. We try harder, promise bigger, resolve ...read more

    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?
