    A Place Holder Series

    Contributed by Steve Ely on Dec 7, 2022
     | 2,117 views

    An unlocked door can keep you out if you don’t know it is unlocked. What did Jesus unlock for us?

    Unlocked Pt. 3 - A Place Holder I. Introduction If you don't believe an unlocked door is just as strong and restrictive as a locked door if you don’t know that the door is unlocked, then all you need to do is google bank robbery failures. Watch footage of stupid criminals who push a door open ...read more

    The Devil Is In The Details – No, Really! (Spiritual Warfare)

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Jun 20, 2025
     | 401 views

    Spiritual powers have away of misleading us in life due to an original contract with man in the garden. Yet authority in Christ rectifies that in numerous ways.

    Prior to the fall and possibly before the earth was actually perfected, God was forced to bring judgment upon an angelic creature who sought to raise himself up as equal with God. He is known by many names, all of which describe various aspects of his character, but for now we will simply refer to ...read more

    Patience And Peace In Personal Storms

    Contributed by William Baeta on Jun 22, 2024
     | 2,729 views

    “Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!’ And the wind ceased and there was a great calm… and they said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” (Mark 4:39, 41)

    There is a reason for every problem and there is a solution to every problem. Problems are a part of life and result from the storms we encounter in life. God does not promise the believer a storm free experience. What He promises is His presence in the storm and His deliverance from the storm. ...read more

    Sermon: The Call To Reign In Life Through Jesus Christ

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 29, 2024
     | 1,487 views

    First, we are created in the image and likeness of God with unlimited potential and creativity and told to have dominion. Second, we can reign in life through Jesus Christ regardless of the environment in the world, country, or the state.

    Sermon: The Call to Reign in Life Through Jesus Christ Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28 “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness. Let them rule the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the domestic animals all over the earth, and all the animals that crawl on the earth. So God ...read more

    Listen To The Expert

     | 96 views

    Why do people in church listen to doctors and lawyers but not pastors?

    Listen to the Expert Luke 13:31-35 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Luke 13:31 At that very time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, “Go away and leave this place, because aHerod wants to kill You.” 32 And He said to them, “Go and tell that 1fox, ‘Behold, I am casting out demons and ...read more

    Blessed… Praise Be!

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 14, 2026
     | 245 views

    The Beatitudes expose neutral faith, declaring where life with God truly exists and refusing to let blessing remain comfortable.

    “Blessed…” That word is so familiar to us that it barely registers anymore. We hear it and we nod. We hear it and we assume we know what comes next. Blessed — we think — means approved. Comfortable. Favored. Safe. Almost instinctively, the response follows. Praise be. We say it quickly. We say ...read more

    Pergamum: When Faithfulness Is Misplaced Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 28, 2026
     | 149 views

    Living near power, Pergamum remained faithful yet misdirected loyalty, until Christ’s word called repentance, restored authority, and promised hidden sustenance and identity.

    Pergamum is the third letter to the seven churches in Revelation, and by the time we arrive here, the pressure has changed again. Ephesus dealt with something that faded quietly. Smyrna faced pressure that came from the outside, loud and unmistakable. Pergamum is different. The danger here is ...read more

    Power To Meet The World's Desperate Need Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 23, 2023
     | 2,028 views

    As God has authority over all of life, so Jesus has authority over all of life.

    For the next 4 weeks we will be studying from the John 5. This chapter deals with the authority and power that Jesus has. In fact, chapter 5 reveals Jesus to be the Authority over all of life. Jesus is equal with God and that is claimed later on in this chapter. So, He is due the same worship, ...read more

    When The Lights Go Out

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025
     | 205 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

    Is There A Word From The Lord?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025
     | 307 views

    God’s final word still stands: Go with Christ’s authority, fulfill His mission, and trust His presence until the end.

    Introduction — The Question That Still Echoes Jeremiah’s words come from a dark hour in Israel’s story. The city was surrounded, the king frightened, and the people restless. So Zedekiah sent a messenger to the prophet asking one desperate question: “Is there a word from the Lord?” It’s the same ...read more

    Find Your Towel

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025
     | 179 views

    Jesus gives authority to serve, not rule—power shaped like a towel, lifting others, revealing love’s quiet strength, and mirroring His heart.

    1. The Ladder and the Towel My senior pastor once stood with me in the church fellowship hall staring at a row of framed photographs—portraits of evangelists who had conducted meetings through the years. His finger paused on one. “H. M. S. Richards, Sr.,” he said softly. Then came a line I’ll ...read more

    What this Bible can do for you.

    A. WHAT THIS BIBLE CAN DO FOR YOU 1. Let Me explain the Bible to you. I led two disciples through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the scripture the things "concerning Himself” (Luke 24:27, NLT). 2.

    Unshared Unrivaled Unequaled

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 10, 2025
     | 164 views

    Christ alone is the unshared, unrivaled, unequal Rock; surrender means stepping off the throne of self and letting Him reign today.

    There’s a certain comfort, isn’t there, in imagining that somewhere out there is a man who carries the weight of spiritual certainty on his shoulders. He sits robed, enthroned, vested in centuries of tradition and expectation. His words ripple across continents. His gestures become symbols. His ...read more

    The Light Still Shines

     | 161 views

    Christ calls us to share the thrilling gospel, live as true disciples, and trust His daily presence so His light still shines.

    Introduction – The Most Thrilling Story Many years ago, when Adoniram Judson was doing powerful missionary work in Burma, he returned home for furlough and was invited to speak at a church in the United States. The congregation expected an exciting account of danger and heroism—stories of jungle ...read more

    A Broken Man Before The Boundless Gospel

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 567 views

    Locked doors and crowded rooms can stop most people, but real faith finds a way. In Mark 2:1–12 four friends tear through a roof to place a paralytic before Jesus—He forgives first, then heals—showing His authority and calling us to carry others to Him.

    A little while ago I was installing a keypad lock on the door to my upstairs studio—just trying to add an extra layer of security for my equipment, cameras, computers, all that production stuff. So I set the keypad lock up, got the old handle out of the door, got the batteries in, set the code, all ...read more
