    Standing In The Storm

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 238 views

    Jesus teaches that storms are inevitable, but collapse is not; lives anchored in obedience to Christ stand firm when pressure reveals the foundation beneath them.

    There are storms we prepare for, and there are storms that arrive without warning. Some give us time. We see the clouds gathering. We hear the forecasts. We sense the pressure building in the air. Others come suddenly—without courtesy, without explanation, without asking whether this is a ...read more

    Getting Unstuck: How God Redeems Our Choices

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 142 views

    God’s purposes are not fragile. Human choices are real, and God redeems them—freeing us from fear, paralysis, and transactional faith so we can move forward in trust.

    --- Stuck Between Floors Have you ever been stuck in an elevator? Not falling. Not crashing. Just… stuck. The doors won’t open. The buttons don’t respond. Time stretches. And the fear doesn’t come because something is happening — it comes because nothing is happening. You’re trapped between ...read more

    The Question Evil Can’t Answer

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 29, 2025
     | 167 views

    Evil remains a mystery, but the cross reveals God’s character. He enters human suffering, bears its weight, and assures us that love—not evil—has the final word.

    There are certain questions that do not arise from curiosity, but from collision. They are not born in classrooms or debates, but in moments when life presses hard against the soul and refuses to explain itself. These questions surface when loss interrupts routine, when suffering enters without ...read more

    Going Over The Baggage Limit

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 150 views

    Witness is not something Christians are trained to do, but what naturally happens when Christ is truly abided in and His life is allowed to shine.

    — When Evangelism Language Wears Us Out There are certain words in the church that carry more weight than we realize. Not because they are wrong words, but because of what they’ve come to mean through repetition. Through tone. Through history. Witness is one of those words. You can feel it in a ...read more

    The Pursuit Of Peace Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jan 20, 2026
     | 150 views

    There are a variety of ways through which peace pursues, but the peace that Jesus provides surpasses them all.

    What is peace? Peace is something that we often long for in a variety of areas of our lives - interpersonal, political, financial, academic, even internal, and spiritual peace. Peace in all of these things is achieved through a variety means, but many of those means seem to contradict one another. ...read more

    Courage

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 26, 2026
     | 283 views

    Christian courage is essential to faith; in fact, the Bible says we cannot enter heaven without it. This sermon reviews why courage is so important, and how we can strengthen our courage to obey God.

    This morning, I’d like us to think about Christian character. And specifically, a Christian virtue that we don’t usually hear much about from the pulpit. It’s mentioned only eight times in the New Testament, but it’s critically important, for at least two reasons. First of all, it’s important ...read more

    Unity, Knowledge, and Maturity in Christ Ephesians 4:1-16 Introduction: The Call to Walk Worthy Imagine for a moment that you're standing in front of a mirror.

    Philadelphia: When Faithfulness Is Protected Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Feb 2, 2026
     | 79 views

    Philadelphia reveals faithfulness without strength: Jesus sees quiet obedience, keeps His people near, opens doors by grace, and promises permanent belonging forever.

    By the time we arrive at Philadelphia, we think we’re on familiar ground. The city of brotherly love. We’ve heard the phrase before. We know how it’s supposed to sound. No Quakers. No Liberty Bell. No 76ers or Eagles. No cheesesteaks. This Philadelphia is older than the phrase as we use it—and ...read more

    10,000 Bricks: Too Much Truth In Nehemiah 8 Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Feb 17, 2026
     | 28 views

    We see in Nehemiah chapter 8 that while the rebuilding of the walls was an important task for Nehemiah, the rebuilding of the faith and spiritual life of the people was perhaps more important.

    10,000 BRICKS: Too Much Truth in Nehemiah 8 Nehemiah 8:1-18 #10000bricks INTRODUCTION / FRAMING FOR CCC When we think about the word “worship,” many times we think about singing songs in church, piano or organ music, and raising our hands or not.

    How Should I Fight If The Battle Is The Lord's? PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Nov 4, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 166 views

    Trust God to fight your battles; respond with prayer and praise, knowing His presence and power are greater than any fear or opposition you face.

    Some mornings the alarm clock sounds like a starter pistol. We leap from bed straight into a race we didn’t sign up for—emails, meetings, bills, a stack of must-do’s. And then there are the battles no calendar can predict: the doctor’s report that makes your heart pound, the prodigal child who has ...read more

     | 311 views

    God’s unwavering love secures us in every circumstance; nothing can separate us from His acceptance and care through Jesus, no matter our struggles or failures.

    If you came in today carrying a quiet ache, you’re in good company. Life has a way of piling up—bills and burdens, deadlines and diagnoses, misunderstandings and midnight worries. Sometimes the questions come quicker than answers: Who stands with me? Who speaks for me? Who will see me through? The ...read more

    Recognizing God PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 25, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 134 views

    Trusting God’s timing in every season, we learn to wait with faith, knowing He is present and working even when we cannot see it.

    Some of us came in today with calendars covered in scribbles and hearts heavy with questions. The clock keeps ticking, but the answer seems late. A prayer hangs in the air. A door stays shut. A dream feels shelved. We know God is good, we sing that God is faithful, yet our watches rarely match His ...read more

     | 130 views

    The sermon urges us to approach God with reverence, listen before speaking, and honor our promises, trusting that God shapes the world through prayerful hearts.

    There’s a hush that falls on the heart when we remember who God is. The ancient preacher of Ecclesiastes takes us by the hand and leads us into that hush. He knows about rushed mornings and restless nights. He knows about hurried hands and harried hearts. And he whispers a needed word to weary ...read more
