    Let The Fire Fall

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 5, 2025
     | 206 views

    True revival comes when God’s fire falls—His presence, power, and purity consuming our lives—something programs cannot produce but only surrender and prayer can invite.

    Introduction – Setting the Scene It had been an exhausting day. The hot sun beat down on the parched earth. The crowd sat under a cloudless sky for what felt like an eternity.

    Baptism: United With Christ

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 25, 2025
     | 209 views

    Through baptism, believers are invited into the death of Jesus, putting to rest their former selves ruled by sin. This act is not the end but the gateway to a resurrection life, mirroring Christ’s victory over the grave.

    INTRODUCTION: We acknowledge the strongholds that have gripped this generation: addictions, mental illness, anxiety, demonic oppression, depression, toxicity in our environment, fractured relationships, and lives merely surviving rather than thriving. These and many alike are physical and emotional ...read more

    Anxiety seems to be a problem today for both the saved and the unsaved. While we can understand it might be a problem with the unsaved, we have a difficult time understanding why it is a problem with the saved.

    WHY IS ANXIETY SUCH A PROBLEM TODAY? Someone printed these words under a tranquil scene on a calendar: "Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday." We do spend a lot of time worrying about tomorrow. So many in our society insist on trying to carry the… • Burdens of the ...read more

    In Acts chapter one, we see the church in a holding pattern. They don’t have the power to go out and affect their world. But in chap. 2 they received power to change the world. Do we want LOW power or HIGH power?

     | 119 views

    This second sermon explores Paul’s explanation of his integrity, his ministry under accusation, and how God’s faithfulness steadies us when plans change and people misunderstand. It moves from comfort to credibility — from grace received to grace lived out.

    Introduction Sometimes the greatest challenge in ministry is not persecution, but misunderstanding. Paul faced criticism from those who thought his change of travel plans meant he was fickle or untrustworthy. Yet, in this passage, Paul reminds us that God is faithful — and it is He who establishes ...read more

    Go Forward: The Exodus Path Of The Christian Life

    Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Nov 29, 2025
     | 129 views

    The Exodus story holds a mirror up to us and reminds us that we all tend to default to our learned anxious reactivity when challenged. In the Exodus, God shows us that if we will trust him and move forward, we will inherit the promises of God.
