    Hide And Seek: When God Protects

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 22, 2025
     | 96 views

    A Kuwait war testimony anchored in Psalm 18, showing how God protects, hides, guides, and delivers His children through overwhelming danger and impossible odds.

    I have read Psalm 18 hundreds of times, but there is a version of that psalm that you can only learn in the dark. You can memorize it in the light, you can preach it in comfort, but you can only feel it—really feel it—when life leaves you nowhere to stand but in the sheltering shadow of God ...read more

    This is a funeral sermon I delivered to a standing room only crowd for one the most beloved grade school teachers in our community.

    “Mabel Anderson, Lamb of God” It seems to me totally fitting that we should be paying our last respects to Mabel on Thanksgiving weekend. For that is what we are doing here today. We are giving thanks to Almighty God for sharing this beautiful woman with us. As I sat down this week to put pen to ...read more

    It is Easter and the resurrection is the laughter of the universe at our inability to understand and at Evil’s inability to read the end of the book.

    And God Laughed John 20:1-18 March 27, 2005 I don’t watch a whole lot of television, but I do like cop shows: Law and Order, CSI - Crime Scene Investigations, I realize that those are pretty much guy shows, but that’s who I am.

    based on 105 ratings
     | 18,548 views

    After the resurrection, the followers of Jesus were in a harried state. Some of them were on the run, others were simply trying to make sense of what had happened. In the midst of our life circumstances, how does the Resurrected Christ make himself real

    Opener: I hope you had a bad Easter….I know you think I should be saying “I hope you had a good Easter”…but for today’s sermon, it might be better for you if you had a bad Easter. Because when you think back to the first Easter, the disciples weren’t gathering together early on Sunday, excited ...read more

    This sermon deals with the way God works in our lives

    The Bible has a great deal to say about eagles. Isaiah 40:31 tells us: But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Psalms 103:5 tells us . . . so that thy youth is renewed ...read more

    Paul in Athens - heavy on background - witness in the marketplace

    Two preachers were on the roadside with a sign that read, "The End is Near – Turn Back Now". A passing driver yelled "leave us alone you religious nuts".

    Which is more disturbing -- holiness and righteousness, or immorality?

    Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left. When I was in high school, there was a local legend about the ...read more
