They tried again. “Declined.” Finally they sighed, pulled out another card, and that one ...read more

    Hey Zach, Let's Go Home

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 30, 2025
     | 212 views

    Jesus stops under our tree, calls us by name, enters our desolate house, and fills our deepest loneliness with restoring, transforming grace.

    Part One — The Ache for Home There is a painting by Norman Rockwell that I have loved for years. Even before I knew why it gripped me, it spoke to something deep inside — that universal ache, that timeless yearning we all have for home. Not simply a house or a street address, but the place where ...read more

    It's About Time

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 7, 2025
     | 109 views

    God invites us to slow down—to listen before reacting, to speak with grace, and to let His Spirit shape our emotional responses. When we follow James 1:19, our relationships reflect the patient, gentle heart of Jesus.

    There are moments in ministry that arrive quietly, without fanfare or warning, and yet they end up shaping the way you see people, see yourself, and even see God. One of those moments for me came on a day that seemed ordinary. I was on my way to visit a dear church member I hadn’t seen for too ...read more

    This is a message about joy, during Advent. It is about how it is that we can have joy that does not change in the midst of our circumstances, and how we can sustain our awareness of that joy through loving obedience to God.

    Sermon for Advent 3 - Joy - December 14, 2025 - What gives you joy? Name one thing. What are some examples of joy? Of course I’ve had times of great happiness in my life which come close to joy.

Such order in the universe is not an accident but rather that the God of the Bible is a God ...read more
