    WE BELIEVE that the work of Christ on the Cross provides healing of the human body (Isaiah 53:4–5; James 5:14–16; 1 Peter 2:24).

When he was 14, he was laid low by a bout of malaria, and his father gave him an injection. All seemed well at first, and Dr. Miley returned to his hospital, not knowing the ...read more

    A sermon to Adults on Matthew 5:14-16

    August 10, 2025 A.M. Matthew 5:14-16 I quote Matthew 5:16 a lot but I honestly believe that it is one of the most important Verses in the entire Bible. A. You see, John 3:16 is a powerful Verse because it tells us WHY God sent Jesus into the world, “For God so LOVED the world” and it ...read more

    Hear Isaiah’s Advent Call!

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Dec 1, 2025
     | 332 views

    For our sermon this morning we are invited to hear a message from the Prophet Isaiah in his role as an Advent preacher. Actually, we hear three messages connected to three voices calling out in his prophecy.

    They were all Advent preachers. From Moses to Malachi their messages were the same. Repent. Return. Believe. Yes, they delivered their messages in different ways, and at different times. But ultimately, they were the voices of God calling his people to turn away from their sins, return to ...read more

     | 63 views

    A call to reject restored sacrifices and shadows, embracing Christ’s finished work through the torn veil and shepherding believers toward the true Lamb.

    There was a moment in ancient Israel every family knew too well. A father would step into the small pen behind the house. His children would stand at the doorway, quiet, watching. He would kneel among the gentle, wool-covered shapes and place his hand on one particular lamb—soft, innocent, ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 16, 2025
     | 89 views

    Ephesus was a large and important city in the Roman Empire. Paul and others preached the Gospel, won people to Christ, and wrote them a letter. Now it was time for another letter, this one coming from Jesus Himself.

    The Seven Churches-Ephesus (Note: this message is based on a sermon I preached at New Hope Baptist Church near Fulton, MO on October 19, 2025 but it is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: Ephesus. This city was one of the largest in the Roman Empire. At the time, Ephesus was a thriving ...read more

     | 100 views

    God uses our ordinary gifts and daily acts of service to bless others, display His grace, and bring glory to Jesus in everyday life.

    Friends, can we talk about the quiet heroes God sends our way? The ones with flour on their aprons and prayer on their lips; the ones who show up with a casserole, a kind word, a seat at the table. I think of a dear woman I knew—no spotlight, no stage—just a well-worn Bible, a wobbly kitchen chair, ...read more

    God’s presence and promise give us courage to face opposition and uncertainty, reminding us that prayer shapes our lives and God stands with us always.

    Some weeks feel like a wrestling match. You wake up with a knot in your stomach, step into the day with a brave face, and still hear the whispers of worry: What if this doesn’t work? What if they don’t understand? What if I’m not enough? You’ve felt the headwinds—critics at the office, tension at ...read more

     | 73 views

    God uses our pain and trials not to harm us, but to grow our hope, maturity, and fruitfulness for His greater purpose.

    Friend, I’m glad you’re here. Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache that doesn’t let go. The diagnosis was unexpected. The stack of bills looks tall. The silence in the house feels louder than it used to. Life can sting. Yet God meets us right in the middle of the mess and whispers a word ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 94 views

    Trusting God at life’s obstacles, we consecrate ourselves in prayer and obedience, expecting His presence to lead us and perform wonders beyond our ability.

    Some of us walked in today with a river in front of us. A challenge that feels swollen and strong, a problem that pushes against the banks of our courage. Maybe it’s a diagnosis that rattles you, a relationship that drains you, or a decision that confuses you. You’ve stood at the edge, heart ...read more

    If you’ve ever felt shadowed by worry, stalked by regret, or tailed by the long to-do list that never seems to shrink, you’re in good company. David knew what it meant to have enemies at his heels and storms at his door. And yet, out of that life he sings a line so surprising it feels like a ...read more

     | 156 views

    Christ calls us to shine His light in everyday life, so that our actions reflect His love and guide others toward God’s glory.

    Some nights feel too dark. The text pings at midnight. The doctor’s tone is flat. The worry refuses to sleep. Yet even in a midnight room, a small nightlight steadies a child. A single candle hushes a whole room of shadows. That’s the math of heaven: a little light makes a life-sized difference. ...read more
