    Made For More

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025
     | 88 views

    Jesus calls His church beyond comfort, silence, and spectacle—to live Spirit-filled, Scripture-grounded lives that reveal His power and love.

    Picture Jesus, freshly baptized, water still drying on his shoulders, the voice of the Father ringing in his soul. “You are my beloved Son.” The dove has barely taken flight. That is exactly when the devil comes calling. Nobody gets a free victory lap after baptism. The real fight often starts ...read more

    It Begins With Me

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 31, 2025
     | 138 views

    Revival starts where one heart turns—opening closed doors, cleansing hidden sin, and welcoming the Spirit’s rain until joy returns again.

    Introduction — The Long Wait for Rain Sometimes revival doesn’t arrive with thunder. Sometimes it seeps in quietly—like rain through hard, cracked ground. For years we may live with the crust of complacency, calling it contentment. We tell ourselves that the season of power is past, that we’ve ...read more

    Enter Into Rest

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 25, 2025
     | 98 views

    Sabbath rest is entering Christ’s presence with trust. Because Jesus already finished the work, we can finally rest in His grace.

    Introduction — A World That Teaches Us To Be Exhausted A photographer snapping pictures of first graders was making small talk. He asked a little girl, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” She thought about all the busy adults in her life and answered one word: “Tired.” Our culture has ...read more

    Why Go To Church?

     | 3,620 views

    Attending church has many benefits - social connection, uplifting messages, inspiring music, coffee. But all of those needs can be met in other ways. There is one thing, however, that is absolutely unique about meeting together to worship, and that is the promised presence of Christ among us.

    Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! How many of you are wearing green? Good for you. But - wasn’t it just Christmas a couple of weeks ago? It’s hard to believe that Easter is only two weeks away. I realize that what I’m about to say will betray my age, but don’t you find that every year seems to go by ...read more

    "The Wonder Of With" Matthew 1:23 Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. INTRODUCTION: In what sense is God "with" us? With is a preposition and is "a member of a set of words ...read more

     | 127 views

    Faith through storms means trusting the unseen Christ, whose presence anchors us when silence roars and waves threaten to overwhelm.

    The Wreck The November wind howled across Lake Superior like a living thing—cold, relentless, merciless. The kind of wind that makes grown men tighten their collars and check their ropes twice. It was November 10, 1975, when the Edmund Fitzgerald—a massive ore freighter, proud and trusted—faced ...read more

    When The Lights Go Out

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 97 views

    Jesus rekindles our passion to shine. His authority sends us, His Spirit empowers us, and His mission becomes our greatest thrill again.

    It happens slowly. You rarely notice when the first lights begin to flicker. A bulb gives up in the back hallway. One more goes dark in the kitchen. The living room dims a little, but you don’t think much about it. You just squint more. You buy a cheaper lamp. You hold your phone screen a little ...read more

    The future Glory that Jesus will reveal transcends all the glories in this world. But could we have a glimpse of His glory now in our time? If so, in what way?

    “Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off, and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother. So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met ...read more

    Hey Zach, Let's Go Home

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 30, 2025

    Jesus stops under our tree, calls us by name, enters our desolate house, and fills our deepest loneliness with restoring, transforming grace.

    Part One — The Ache for Home There is a painting by Norman Rockwell that I have loved for years. Even before I knew why it gripped me, it spoke to something deep inside — that universal ache, that timeless yearning we all have for home. Not simply a house or a street address, but the place where ...read more

    A sermon about practicing Christian Presence.

    "The Turning" Luke 19:1-10 When I was 18 years old I became friends with another young guy named Tim.

I had grown ...read more

     | 3,300 views

    iVow is a stewardship series using the United Methodist Church membership vows saying, "I will uphold this congregation with my prayers, presences, gifts, service and witness." The sermon is on presence.

    I have shared with you before some of the television viewing habits of the Broyles household. I think I may have even shared with you that one of the current, regularly viewed shows these days is The Big Bang Theory. That may surprise some of you. And, I will say, there are absolutely things I ...read more
