Sermons on Parental Obedience:

Faith On Fumes

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 3, 2025

Weariness and frustration blur obedience, but grace restores focus; through surrender, God’s servants finish inside the promise their strength could never reach.

It was a clear day on Mount Nebo. The sun hung high over the cracked ridges of Moab, turning every stone to copper. From where he stood, Moses could see the whole sweep of the Promised Land. Jericho shimmered in the distance; the olive hills of Ephraim glowed green; beyond them the ridges of Judah ...read more

The Sin That Wants God

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 10, 2025

Cain sought God’s favor without surrender, but Christ’s blood still speaks—calling every heart from self-made worship to obedient, Spirit-filled revival.

The Conflict at the Altar Every human being builds an altar. Some offer obedience; some offer opinion. Every life lifts something before God—work, worship, wealth, reputation—and waits for fire to fall. That is where the story of Cain and Abel begins: two brothers, two altars, two hearts, one ...read more

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jun 14, 2025

Move beyond human grit and trust in God’s power, showing through the fall of Jericho that walls of fear, hardship, and sin collapse not by strength or strategy, but through patient obedience and unwavering faith in the God.

Beyond Grit: The God Who Brings Walls Down Joshua 6:1-20 "Sheer grit can only take you as far as your strength allows. But many walls only crumble through faith in the One who is able." Even though Abram was given the astonishing promise, “I will make you into a great nation, and I ...read more

The Testing Of Your Faith

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Jun 14, 2025

Here I am! You know that’s something all of us need to learn, isn’t it? When the Lord calls, we immediately say, “Here I am.” That’s the language of obedience, “Here I am.”

On May 29, 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary planted the British flag on the top of Mount Everest. He and his Sherpa guide, Tenzing Norgay were the first to conquer that mountain, and in doing so, they had climbed to the very top of the world because there is no mountain higher than Everest. Higher in ...read more

Heavenly Scent

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 15, 2025

Joy becomes the fragrance of a heart touched by the gospel, where obedience grows not from pressure but from Christ living within us.

INTRODUCTION — CHILDREN’S SONG I want to begin tonight with something simple— something every one of us learned before we could spell “theology.” A children’s song. We didn’t realize it at the time, but that little song was preaching to us long before we understood it: “I’ve got the joy, joy, ...read more

Jehu's Rebuke (2 Chronicles 19)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 16, 2025

Do we receive God's rebuke?

Would many national leaders listen to the rebuke of a modern day man of God? Let’s look at 2 Chronicles 19. Did Jehu the seer chastise Jehoshaphat for collaboration with a wicked king? Should we choose alliances carefully? Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned in safety to his house in ...read more

Uzziah Of Judah (2 Chronicles 26)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 20, 2025

Will we be faithful to the end?

Did Uzziah start well, but fail like his father? Is faithfulness to the end important? Will we endure? Let’s begin in 2 Chronicles 26. Did king Uzziah of Judah start out right like his father Amaziah? And all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of ...read more

Follow Jesus Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 23, 2025

Following Jesus means trusting His leadership, surrendering self-rule, embracing transformation, and walking daily with the Shepherd whose presence shapes every step.

There is a tenderness in the way Jesus calls people. He never shouts to impress the crowd. He never manipulates the moment. He never forces Himself upon anyone. Instead, He speaks in a way that reaches the deepest places of the heart and invites a response that is both personal and ...read more

When Jesus Enters Your Storm

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 11, 2025

Jesus meets us in the storm, reveals Himself above the waves, strengthens faith through obedience, rescues when we sink, and draws worship from our weakness.

THE PROBLEM THEY SUFFERED Just hours before, the disciples had a completly different frame of mind. They were psyched.They were energized and confident, ready to take on anything.

High Hopes When All Is Not Well

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025

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

Safe In His Hands

Contributed by Major Stewart on Dec 27, 2025

Safe in His Hands proclaims how God protects His purpose amid danger. Through Matthew 2, this sermon reassures believers that divine calling attracts opposition, but obedient faith rests securely in God’s sovereign covering and purposeful care.

SAFE IN HIS HANDS Text: Matthew 2:13–23 (NIV) Beloved, one of the most comforting and challenging truths in all of Scripture can be summed up in this declaration: What God ordains, God protects.

Is There Not A Cause?

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026

God’s word is never idle—it creates purpose and calls for response. Like David, we are not defined by the roles others assign us, but by the word God has spoken over our lives. When that word becomes a cause, faith moves from observation to obedience.

As David stood in the Valley of Elah, the battle between Israel and the Philistines was nearing a breaking point. For forty days, the giant Goliath had stepped forward to issue his challenge, defying the armies of the living God. And for forty days, no one answered him. The silence was not caused ...read more

My message this morning comes from the Scripture that was just read — Luke 5. It’s a familiar passage. Most of us have heard it many times. We know how the story goes.
