    (2) God Said It Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 30, 2025
     | 174 views

    John 4 -- Nobleman's Son. The second sign in John's Gospel shows the Word made flesh has limitless authority and power.

    Introduction I want to begin today with a simple refrain you may have heard before: God said it. I believe it. And that settles it for me. That little line may sound like something out of a gospel chorus, but it’s actually the heartbeat of the second sign in John’s Gospel. We’re in John chapter ...read more

    When Fear Knocks, Faith Answers

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 134 views

    When fear knocks again, faith answers with prayer, peace, and purpose—transforming fearful hearts into fearless witnesses of God’s steadfast presence.

    I was a long way from home—traveling through Baluchistan, that barren stretch between Pakistan and Iran. The desert seemed endless, the wind dry as powder. By the time evening fell, I had found what looked like a safe spot to sleep: the flat roof of a little white-washed mosque. The stars were so ...read more

    Unreasonably Reasonable

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 18, 2025
     | 82 views

    Our rational age has lost its reason; only faith reunites logic and love, restoring truth, humility, and genuine freedom.

    Introduction – The Smartest Dumb Thing We’ve Ever Done I was sitting in a campus café a few months ago when I overheard a group of students arguing over whether coffee is technically a fruit juice. It started as a joke, but within five minutes one had pulled up research on the coffee cherry, ...read more

    Belonging Following Sharing

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 32 views

    Jesus invites us to belong, follow, and share His love, transforming ordinary lives into a mission that draws others into His Kingdom.

    There is a moment near the beginning of every great story where a character hears the invitation that changes everything. A knock at the door. A stranger walking into view. A whispered challenge: “Come and see.” For Simon and Andrew, that moment came while they were doing the most ordinary thing ...read more

    The Real Issue

    Contributed by Matt Schuler on Oct 21, 2004
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,145 views

    At times the church can be focused on too many "issues" and its desire to prove itself right. But what should we really be focused on? What is The Real Issue?

    John 5:37-39 And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These ...read more

    What role does conscience play in Christian citizenship? That is the study presented in this message.

    “One must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience.” How many sermons have you ever heard concerning the conscience? I confess that I have been in service to the churches for almost forty years, and on only two previous occasions have I ever preached a ...read more

    Feeding On Christ

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 13, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,301 views

    What does it mean to feed on Christ? Why doesn't everyone respond positively to the gospel?

    Today’s passage is challenging. The passage is difficult in two ways; first, it is difficult to understand, as it requires unpacking a figure of speech, a metaphor. What does it mean, really, to “eat the flesh” and “drink the blood” of Christ? So it’s difficult to understand. And perhaps more ...read more
