    (2) God Said It Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 30, 2025
     | 229 views

    John 4 -- Nobleman's Son. The second sign in John's Gospel shows the Word made flesh has limitless authority and power.

    Introduction I want to begin today with a simple refrain you may have heard before: God said it. I believe it. And that settles it for me. That little line may sound like something out of a gospel chorus, but it’s actually the heartbeat of the second sign in John’s Gospel. We’re in John chapter ...read more

    Walking Through Chaos Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025
     | 109 views

    The Father who commands paralysis to move also commands storms to rest—calling His children to rise, walk, and trust His steady presence.

    (John 5 & John 6:16–21 — The Lame Man and the Storm) --- Introduction — When Life Won’t Move Have you ever been stuck? Not the “traffic jam on I-15” kind of stuck. I mean the deeper kind — when nothing in your life will budge. You pray, you plan, you push, and still it feels like the wheels ...read more

    When The Lights Go Out

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 100 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
     | 206 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
     | 73 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
     | 61 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

     | 1,890 views

    This is the last chapter of Paul’s letter to the Christians that he loved and respected at Thessalonica.

    As far as we know, this was the last time Paul communicated with them. You can sense the love he had for them as you read this last chapter he wrote to them. There are many things that take place in a church that are not obvious, but one thing should be obvious to all, and that is the love God’s ...read more

    The author’s call not to drift away is a powerful call on our current church practice.

    This morning in our journey through Hebrews, we get to the first of the important commands which the author gives to his community. And the thing we have to understand about scripture is that when commands are given to people, they do not simply come from the author’s mind, based on personal ...read more

    Does A Christian Have All Authority To Decree And Declare Things Over Their Lives?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 15, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 15,796 views

    There is a growing trend within some circles of Christianity to teach that a Born-Again Christian can declare and decree things over themselves, and others, as already done.

    The primary Scripture verse to support the teaching is: “Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.” (Job 22:28 KJV) The Hebrew word translated ‘decree’ in the verse is ‘gazar’ which is a verb in the masculine singular, and ...read more
