The Great Reunion Series

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Mar 1, 2010

The object lesson of the two sticks pictures the great reunion that will take place at the return of Jesus.

I’ve never been a big fan of reunions. Somehow the idea of getting together with a bunch of people you haven’t seen or even talked to in years so that you can all try to impress each other just isn’t something that I look forward to. And as I get older, the thought of taking part ...read more

When You Don't Feel Worthy

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 3, 2025

God calls us by name, not by our failures. When our confidence ends, His grace begins, restoring identity, worth, and hope.

The places where you don’t speak out loud. The places you don’t even write down. The places where ...read more

Holy Things Mishandled

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025

Reverence lost brings pain; reverence restored brings peace—holiness mishandled hurts, but holiness honored heals hearts and makes us whole.

The Night God Slept in Ashdod The night air in Ashdod still smelled of sweat and smoke. Victory drums thudded through the narrow streets; torches painted the walls with leaping fire.

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Aug 23, 2009

WE NEED RAIN DEUTERONOMY 28:1-15, 23-24 Introduction: A few years ago much of the United States went through a severe dry spell. It was so dry that it had become an Internet joke.

Sermon by Rev Ruth Newmarch You know how in some movies, the music tells you the end has come, but sometimes the ending has been so dramatic, that you are still taking it in...the implications and emotions are swirling around the audience.

If It Ain't Broke......then Break It.

Contributed by Dean Kennedy on Oct 23, 2002

A look at brokenness and how God wants us to be broken and turn to him for restoration. And from that restoration, we will become much stronger.

My youngest son, Dylan, fell into this category. And he still does to a certain extent. When he was 3 or 4, we were visiting ...read more
