The Book We Skip And The God We Need

Contributed by Scott Maze on Oct 27, 2025

How would you like to pray to this god to answer your desperate prayers each day? Prayer would be a gamble each and every time. If you were single and you were praying for love and marriage, this kind of mercurial god might give you Hannibal Lecter or Jeffrey Epstein for a boyfriend!

Find the book of Nahum with me, a small book with a massive view of God. You won’t wake up one day to find Nahum trending on social media. If the Bible were a playlist, Nahum would be the song you’d skip every time. It’s the book we totally ignore. But we shouldn’t ignore it. Here’s why you ...read more

In God We Trust

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 15, 2025

Jesus, the Second Adam, passed the test Adam failed—restoring trust, reversing the fall, and giving us victory through His obedience and sacrifice.

INTRODUCTION — THE TEST THAT NEVER CHANGED There are moments in Scripture when the veil between heaven and earth thins—when the stories we’ve read for years suddenly reveal a deeper thread running through them, binding Genesis to the Gospels, Eden to Calvary, Adam to Christ. These moments don’t ...read more

When Heaven Sends Help: Understanding The Holy Spirit Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 9, 2025

In sports, we often talk about “home-field” advantage. But the Holy Spirit is better than the “home field” advantage. Again, He is the outside power you need. He is the outside power you need for life, for holiness, and for witness.

Just before Jesus died on the cross, He sat the Disciples down for a lengthy training session. Knowing He was only hours from departing, Jesus poured in them.

What Shall We Call Him? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 17, 2025

Isaiah gives us this title for Jesus – Mighty God. What does that do for you? Jesus is not only able to give perfect advice; He is also able to supply us with the power to heed it. Because He is a Mighty God, Jesus is able to enable you to achieve what He advises!

Traci and I have three adult children. We named them at birth, but we have them nicknames through the years. I will share one.

Jesus Prays For You

Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 15, 2026

These Three in One have been pouring love, praise, and honor out to one another from the very beginning of time. Marvel with me how God pulls back the curtain ever so slightly to show us what He’s doing before earth was formed!

Think with me about the people who have prayed for you in your lifetime. Think about your personal times of crisis where you needed someone to pray for you. Now, when you picture this, who is praying for you? For many of you, your mothers and fathers have prayed for you. I imagine many of your ...read more

Backstabbers

Contributed by Scott Maze on Aug 12, 2025

Jesus didn’t treat Judas any differently than He did the other Twelve. Shakespeare cannot have Jesus say, “Et tu, Judas,” because Jesus knew what was coming. And even though Jesus knew what was coming, He didn’t treat Judas any differently than He did any other disciple over those three years.

Find John 13 with me, if you will. Many of you recognize the phrase “Et Tu, Brute?” immediately. It’s Latin for “You too, Brutus?” It’s a quote from Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, where the Roman dictator speaks to his friend Marcus Junius Brutus. Caesar recognizes Brutus as one of his ...read more

You Will Never See Death Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 25, 2024

The stakes are cosmically and eternally high at this moment. Jesus’ actions don’t determine the outcome of some silly game, but determine the eternal destinies of millions of men and women, boys and girls. This is the ultimate “Don’t Blink” moment.

A journalist and a father of a three -year-old boy came home in 2019. The young boy saw his dad working on his iPad while he was at the house. So, while the dad was at work, the three-year-old boy picked up the iPad and tried to use it when his dad was away. Only the iPad was password protected. ...read more

The Day Of The Lord

Contributed by Amar Chandnani on Apr 28, 2025

Simply put the day of the LORD is his certain judgement on sin. This is not speculation, its not a theory. It’s a certainty. It will happen. It will come to pass. Now, properly understood, this absolute certainty should transform the way we think and the way we live.

I brought my dad to an ophthalmologist to have his failing eyesight checked one day. The Doctor said that the retina in his right eye was damaged and that there was no cure to this and that it will eventually lead to total blindness. My dad was seriously concerned and asked the Doctor what caused ...read more

Living Like God Matters Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 19, 2025

The Bible says that when you act like there is no God, you are a clown show. Upstairs, you maybe believe God exists, but downstairs, you live as if you are an atheist. Do you act the fool at work? Do you act the fool at school?

Today, we begin a new sermon series entitled, Hello My Name is God. It’s a series designed to focus us on the character of God from the book of Psalms. This morning, I want to help you answer this question: “How Do I Live like God Exists?” Today’s Scripture TO THE CHOIRMASTER. OF DAVID. The fool ...read more

Why Light Doesn’t Always Lead To Sight Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 21, 2025

John doesn’t blink when he says the ultimate reason the Jewish people don’t believe is because of God. What you are seeing in Jesus’ ministry is the same that Isaiah saw in his ministry. God has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts.

One of the biggest challenges for the early Christian leaders was how many Jews were rejecting Jesus. The first two things Jesus’ disciples say about him in the Gospel of John are “We have found the Messiah” (John 1:41). And, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, ...read more

The Cost Of Distraction PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 5, 2025

Stay focused on God’s calling, resisting distractions and lesser pursuits, so your life’s work aligns with what truly matters in God’s eyes.

Some weeks feel like a parade of interruptions. Phones ping, pressures pile, promises pull, and before long our attention drifts like a leaf on a windy day.
