Where Are You? Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 12, 2025

A reflective call for a modern generation to stop hiding behind progress and rediscover God’s presence through honest surrender.

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 25, 2025

Jesus restores us after our failures, renewing our love and purpose, and calls us to love others the same way He loves us.

Picture a quiet moment you wish you could erase from your history. A word you regret. A choice you can’t take back. A time when you told Jesus with your voice, “I love You”… but told Him with your actions, “Not right now.” Every one of us has a chapter like that. Some of us have a whole ...read more

High Seas 2 - Paul Series

Contributed by Dan Cormie on Jul 11, 2011

Because we live on a fallen planet with other fallen human beings it is possible to find ourselves in the midst of a life shattering storm through no fault of our own. The effects of the fall visit themselves randomly upon the creation.

Contributed by John Lowe on Nov 20, 2019

A Reality Frozen In Anticipation

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 30, 2021

There are moments in life when the webbing of our delusions lift, and we are able to see the truth unobstructed. Oh so rarely do we get to see things in the fullness of how they really are. Our preconceptions cloud situations. Our minds cloud things.

"I am trying to rip open the inconsolable secret in each one of you—the secret which hurts so much that you take your revenge on it by calling it names like Nostalgia and Romanticism and Adolescence; the secret also which pierces with such sweetness that when, in very intimate conversation, ...read more

Is It Okay To Ask God For Blessings After You’ve Sinned? - Psalm 25 Pt.3 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 25, 2025

What should happen to your joy when you sin? Should you be happy because of forgiveness? Or broken with tears of repentance? Is it appropriate to ask for gifts and blessing from God right after you have sinned against him? And if not, how long should you wait?

Of David. To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul; 2 in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. 3 No one who waits for you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse. 4 Show me your ways, O LORD, teach ...read more

Branches Broken Off And Branches Grafted On

Contributed by Ray Mckendry on Nov 4, 2009

To show that while gentiles have not suffered as God’s people, the Jews, have suffered, we cannot be arrogant or unbelieving and presume upon God but must come together with the Jews in humble faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Funeral Sermon Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 25, 2021

“I am the resurrection and the life. ... everyone who lives and believes in me will never die” (John 11:25). Martha believed it ... and I hope and pray that when the New Jerusalem is ready and Jesus commands all who believe in Him to awaken from their sleep that you are there too, amen?

Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem … to die … when He received word that His friend, Lazarus, was sick. Jesus’ reaction was strange. He didn’t rush off to Bethany to heal His friend. “This illness does not lead to death,” says Jesus, “rather it is for God’s glory, so that the Son of God may be ...read more
