    Healing At Bethesda

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025
     | 353 views

    Modern life’s relentless pace and “idol of exhaustion” leave people physically drained and spiritually empty, setting the stage for Jesus’ Sabbath invitation to true rest.

    1. The Weariness We Carry A group of pastors once met in small circles to share their lives. One question asked, “What do you enjoy doing in your spare time—how do you relax?” Again and again the answer came back: “Spare time? I don’t have any.” We fool ourselves if we think this nonstop pace ...read more

    The Balanced Church

     | 3,916 views

    Sometimes we get so focused on just one aspect of Christianity that we fail to see the big picture: we miss the rest of the story.

    AN OLD SOLDIER’S PERSPECTIVE OF A BALLANCED CHURCH ILLUSTRATION In the summer time my wife and I love to feed hummingbirds. Our front porch faces west, which makes it an excellent place for flowers and for birds. Each year we put out 3 or 4 hummingbird feeders so that we can sit on the ...read more

    "Will The Real Blind Beggar Please Stand Up"

     | 8,732 views

    In the Gospel Lesson for this sermon, it’s a bit hard to tell who the real Blind Beggar is. Is it Bartimaeus or is it the disciples or the rest of the crowd?

    Mark 10:46-52 “Will the Real Blind Beggar please Stand Up” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN There’s an old t-v show called To Tell the Truth where contestants are challenged to figure out which of three or four persons are the Real ...read more

    The Poor In Spirit Have God's Approval Series

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 12, 2011
     | 4,281 views

    Part 1. God's approval, his blessing, rests upon those who are poor, contrite in spirit, aware they are spiritually bankrupt before God.

    ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’ (5:3). The Good News Bible says, ‘Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor’ but that doesn’t properly capture what Jesus means. Although it seems old fashioned now, when a father gives his ...read more

    Bathsheba, A Mother To Model

    based on 85 ratings
     | 70,840 views

    Bathsheba is probably one of the least likely people you ever thought of as a good example for mothers, but it is time you heard the rest of her story.

    Bathsheba, a Mother to Model This Mother’s Day I have chosen someone very different to speak on. In fact, in my research I have not found anyone who has ever chosen to use Bathsheba as an example for Mother’s Day, for some reason we are able to grant David forgiveness and restoration, but ...read more

    God Gave You And Me A Conscience, Why?

    Contributed by David Leach on Jan 9, 2014
     | 4,401 views

    The second is the evidence of an inner voice or conscience that instinctively knows the difference between right and wrong, a moral compass, that none of the rest of His creation has.

    God gave you and me a Conscience, why? God wants every human being to enter and live forever in His kingdom. However His kingdom is one of righteousness meaning there is no sin there, that is, there is never any disobedience to God there. Because Adam and Eve chose to believe Satan’s ...read more

     | 7,599 views

    A short talk for our 2011 Christingle services. Will you make room for Jesus? If you do, 2012 and the rest of your life will be very different!

    Someone suggested to me recently that if money ever became tight I should consider becoming a joke writer for Christmas crackers. So, I turned to him and asked, “What did the grumpy sheep say when the shepherd offered him a black and white sweet?” Baa-hum bug! I’m guessing that because you are ...read more

     | 11,704 views

    If you’re grieving the loss of people you love, find comfort in their rest; find comfort in their resurrection; and find comfort in the grand reunion to come.

    As Shay Bradley’s coffin was being lowered into the ground at a cemetery in Dublin, Ireland, last year (October 2019), another sound cut into the mournful strains of the bagpipes. A shout rang out – from inside. “Hello? Hello. Hello? Let me out!” yelled the deceased from within the box. Then ...read more

     | 140 views

    God’s everlasting love transforms mortal believers into ever-loving saints who rest in Christ now and rise with Him at His coming

    INTRODUCTION — THE QUESTIONS LOVE ASKS It’s not the loudest questions that stay with us. It’s the quiet ones — the ones whispered by an empty chair, a photograph, or a fading voice. Questions like: Where are they now? Do they see us? Are they watching? Is death the end — or a pause between ...read more

    The Ache For Meaning

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 29, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 207 views

    Every human ache for meaning is the soul remembering its Maker—God’s embrace disguised as longing, inviting us home to relationship and rest

    (When the Soul Remembers God) It began with a phone call. My oldest son’s voice was steady at first, then it trembled. He’s forty-one now—bright, competent, a systems manager for a defense company, respected by his peers. On paper, everything about his life says success. Yet that afternoon, ...read more

    But Simeon’s song is sung in fulfillment—the song of a man who waited, watched, and finally whispered, “Lord, now I can rest.”
