Fasting For A Spiritual Breakthrough

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Nov 25, 2025

Fasting is a biblical way to quiet our hearts, humble our souls, and make room to hear God’s voice—bringing revelation, deliverance, protection, repentance, and spiritual strength to those who hunger and thirst for Him.

Fasting for a Breakthrough “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?” Psalms 42:1-2 There are moments in our walk with Christ when we become desperate—truly desperate—to hear the voice ...read more

Did Satan Tell The Truth?

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 29, 2025

Satan’s lie promised life without God, but Jesus entered death, destroyed the Uncreation, and gives resurrection life only to those who trust Him.

Hear Isaiah’s Advent Call!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Dec 1, 2025

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.

But ultimately, they were the voices of God calling his people to turn away from their sins, return to ...read more

Sermon # 45 - Give God The Rightful Place Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 28, 2025

Jonah as a prophet of God did not give God the rightful place. When we obey God, serve Him alone, and set aside all that displeases Him, we will truly honor God and give Him the rightful place in our lives.

We read in Jonah 4:7, “But God appointed a worm at the rising of the dawn of the next day, and it struck the plant, and it withered.” (LITV) As Jonah enjoyed the shade of the plant that God had prepared for him, the Lord appointed a worm that obeyed God’s bidding, and ate up the plant, so that it ...read more
