Expect The Unexpected Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 25, 2021

There is no such thing as a hopeless case. The lease likely people in this world can become children of God, and can become leaders in the kingdom, as did this Samaritan sinner.

The unexpected is the source of so much of the joy of life. Our three year old granddaughter, Jennifer, was praying at the table a couple of weeks ago. I noticed she was going faster than usual, and she came to the end saying, "In Jesus name, amen." Then she shouted, "I win." ...read more

Recognizing God PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 25, 2025

Trusting God’s timing in every season, we learn to wait with faith, knowing He is present and working even when we cannot see it.

Some of us came in today with calendars covered in scribbles and hearts heavy with questions. The clock keeps ticking, but the answer seems late. A prayer hangs in the air. A door stays shut. A dream feels shelved. We know God is good, we sing that God is faithful, yet our watches rarely match His ...read more

Living Between Prayer And Promise

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 8, 2026

Live faithfully between prayer and promise—trust God’s future, obey His present reign, and rest in hope until Christ returns.

Most of our lives are not lived at the beginning of a story or at the end of one. They are lived somewhere in the middle — in that long, unfinished stretch where things are still forming, still unresolved, still waiting to make sense.

Learn To Tote The Cheese

Contributed by Keith Linkous on Aug 24, 2001

Everyone wants to kill a giant, but David didn’t set out to kill Goliath. He was carrying cheese to his brothers at the time. Learn how faithfulness leads to greater usefulness.

(Also look at 1 Samuel 17: 32, 48-49) There has been much preaching on the subject of faithfulness. There have been times, though, when we have used "faithfulness" as an excuse for being unproductive. We try to "spiritualize" our lack of results. And while we have excused inaction and ...read more
