     | 13 views

    Amidst a troubled world, Jesus calls us to courageous endurance, promising his presence and transforming our hardships into opportunities to bear witness to him.

    Some weeks the headlines feel heavy, don’t they? Nations rattling sabers, markets jumping, storms brewing, friendships fraying. You read another alert on your phone and feel that tug of worry in your chest. Will my kids be okay? Will my job hold? Will the world ever quiet down? You’re not alone. ...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

     | 47 views

    God’s grace meets us in our weakness, offering love, strength, and acceptance, empowering us to face life’s struggles with hope and courage.

    If grace had a face, I think it would be smiling at you today. Not a plastic grin, but the kind that crinkles the eyes and warms the room. The kind you long to see when the week has been heavy, the bank account thin, and your heart even thinner. Maybe you woke up with that familiar knot of worry. ...read more

    The difference Jesus Christ makes at Christmas and in your life.

    I heard repeatedly on the radio this week that depression is very common during the Christmas holiday. I’m usually not an armchair researcher, but I believe much of the holiday depression comes largely from a wrong focus. For many, the focus is placed on an overweight-white-beard, old man, who ...read more

    This is a funeral sermon for Bessie McCloud (died 1991), a Christian who was bed-ridden for several years before her death.

    Today, we seek to draw some eternal meaning from the life that Bessie McCloud has lived, in hopes that it will help us find God’s will for our own human life. Bessie’s life spanned almost the entire 20th century, but for the Christian who has died, we can see a faith history that stretches back ...read more

    In an age where love is defined by "the way we feel today," Pastor James Dunn helps us to understand that true love is not spelled..."F-E-E-L-I-N-G-S", but rather... "C-O-M-M-I-T-M-E-N-T."

    I Think I Love You 1Cor. 13:1-8a Introduction: You can see them alongside the shuffleboard courts in Florida or on the porches of the old folks’ homes up north: an old man with snow-white hair, a little hard of hearing, reading the newspaper through a magnifying glass; an old woman in a shapeless ...read more
