    The Half Gospel Church

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 8, 2026
     | 188 views

    Discipleship begins where control ends. Trust is revealed not by belief, but by movement

    Introduction We live in a time that prizes manageability above almost everything else. We want lives that are controllable, predictable, and efficient. We value systems that reduce friction and minimize risk. We are constantly offered ways to simplify what feels demanding, streamline what feels ...read more

    Part 3: Silence As Spiritual Refinement Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 21, 2026
     | 133 views

    Job sits in ashes demanding answers from God. But instead of anger, he declares: "When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold." This sermon unpacks what that means. God isn't punishing you in the silence. God is refining you.

    The Shift from Lament to Hope Something shifts in Job 23:10. After pages and pages of complaint, after rounds of friends insisting, he must have sinned, after crying out into a silent heaven, Job suddenly changes direction. Picture him there. Sitting in ashes. Scraping his skin with a broken piece ...read more

    Trust God’s wisdom and timing in uncertainty, knowing He lovingly guides and provides what’s best, even when the path ahead is unclear.

    Friends, some weeks feel like a maze, don’t they? You stand at the kitchen counter with a calendar in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other, and the questions outnumber the answers. Do I take this job? Should we make that move? Will this relationship heal? The compass spins, the path feels ...read more

     | 150 views

    God invites us to surrender our old ways, receive a new heart, and experience true transformation through His Spirit and renewing our minds.

    Some mornings feel like reruns. Same burdens. Same battles. Same buttons being pushed by the same people. You wake up with good intentions, yet old habits hang on like heavy coats in summer. You want to change. You’ve promised to change. You’ve tried to change. Still, the mirror shows yesterday’s ...read more

    Trusting Jesus, not our own strength, enables us to persevere through life’s burdens, as He carries us and completes our faith journey.

    Friend, if your shoulders feel a bit slumped today, if your breath is a bit short and your steps a bit slow, you’re in the right place. You’re in a sanctuary where God knows how tired feet feel and how heavy hearts carry what no one else sees. You’re seen, you’re loved, and you’re not forgotten. ...read more

     | 136 views

    God’s grace meets us in our sin and need, offering true freedom and acceptance through faith in Jesus, not our own efforts.

    Some of us arrived today feeling like life has been a long hallway of closed doors. You knocked on the door of good intentions and it stayed shut. You jiggled the handle of self-improvement and it wouldn’t budge. You leaned your ear to the keyhole of religious busyness and heard only your own ...read more

    When life falls apart, faith refuses to panic, seeks God’s strength and guidance, and trusts Him to restore what’s been lost.

    Some days smell like smoke. The kind of day when you pull into the driveway and something feels off. The porch light is on, but peace is off. The phone rings, the doctor calls, the boss texts, the door closes—and your heart drops. The room looks the same, but everything has changed. Ashes in the ...read more

    God sees our weariness, meets us in our weakness, and renews our strength as we trust and wait on Him, never forgotten or alone.

    Friend, if you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m. and whispered, “Lord, did You see that? Do You know how tired I am?”—you are in good company today. If your heart feels heavy, your hands feel weak, and your hope feels thin, you are exactly where Isaiah 40 meets you. This passage is a warm ...read more

    God’s grace is a free gift we cannot earn; through faith, we receive His love and acceptance, not by our efforts but by His mercy.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts like clenched fists—trying to hold it all together, trying to square the accounts with God, trying to make sense of a week that wore us thin. We wonder if grace has a limit, if mercy has a meter, if love has a ledger. We keep a mental checklist: pray more, try ...read more

    I still remember the exact moment when I realized that I was truly an adult. It wasn’t my 18th birthday, or when I moved out of the house a few months later. It wasn’t even my wedding day, which came just two years after my 18th birthday. I first realized I was an adult when I was 26 years old, ...read more
