How God Comforts The Downcast Series

This passage shares the encouraging truth that "God . . . comforts the downcast." It also points out one of the major ways that He does that: through the people He's put around us.

The Wings Of The Wind Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

Shakespeare was right when he said, "Ill blows the wind that profits nobody." Every wind can profit the Christian if they will, like the Psalmist, look for and see God riding on the wings of the wind.

When Columbus and his crew were being blown West by the Atlantic trade winds, one of the reasons they were so fearful was they did not know how they could get back home against the wind. Fortunately they discovered not only a new world, but new winds that carried them back to Spain. They returned ...read more

Contributed by Rev Silvester David on Jul 2, 2025

Jesus said "Go and make disciples......". Discipleship is a process which has it's own cost. In this sermon, we will view cost of Discipleship from the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Two of these men declared that they wished to follow Jesus; to become His disciples. The other was one whom Jesus SUMMONED to follow Him. What immediately strikes me is the way ...read more

God: Your Best Covering (Isaiah 22:1-14; Psalm 91:1-16) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 20, 2025

a one week rabbit trail, setting the stage for next week, focused on the idea of "covering" as protection. In the U.S., we are covered by our military, and the constitution. But God's covering is better.

Today, we will take a one week rabbit trail from our Revelation study, and work our way through the first oracle in Isaiah 22. This will seem beyond random until next week, but I do have this vague plan of how everything should come together. My end goal is really the second oracle-- the one ...read more
