    Getting Unstuck: How God Redeems Our Choices

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 166 views

    God’s purposes are not fragile. Human choices are real, and God redeems them—freeing us from fear, paralysis, and transactional faith so we can move forward in trust.

    --- Stuck Between Floors Have you ever been stuck in an elevator? Not falling. Not crashing. Just… stuck. The doors won’t open. The buttons don’t respond. Time stretches. And the fear doesn’t come because something is happening — it comes because nothing is happening. You’re trapped between ...read more

    Sermon - Advent Continues -The Ultimate Example Of God’s Love

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 10, 2024
     | 799 views

    Advent, the season of anticipation reminds us of the hope we have in God, the peace we have with God and the love we have that always seeking and pursuing us for our good and for God’s glory. We find a compelling picture of God’s love in the book of Hosea.

    Sermon - The Ultimate Example of God’s Love Scriptures: John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

     | 139 views

    The sermon urges us to approach God with reverence, listen before speaking, and honor our promises, trusting that God shapes the world through prayerful hearts.

    There’s a hush that falls on the heart when we remember who God is. The ancient preacher of Ecclesiastes takes us by the hand and leads us into that hush. He knows about rushed mornings and restless nights. He knows about hurried hands and harried hearts. And he whispers a needed word to weary ...read more

    Sermon 9 - Making The Message Clear Series

    Contributed by David Owens on May 5, 2025
     | 607 views

    When we are given the opportunity to share the good news about Jesus we have to be ready to communicate the message in a clear and concise manner. This sermon explores how to do just that.

    No Longer Hiding: From Shame To Belonging

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
     | 163 views

    The gospel restores belonging before behavior, covering shame with presence so hiding loses its necessity and transformation grows from safety.

    Most of us think we know what the problem is. We think the problem is sin. Or disobedience. Or failure. Or a lack of discipline. Or not trying hard enough. Scripture does not ignore them. Very early in the biblical story—before commandments, before systems, before religion is fully formed—the ...read more

     | 2,932 views

    In this section, Mark sandwiched an incident with Jesus' family and an incident with the Jewish religious leaders to show the judgments people were making about Jesus. In the end, Jesus can only be one of three possibilities: Lord, liar or lunatic.

    A. You’ve heard the old joke: “You can call me anything you want, just don’t call me late for dinner.” 1. Have you ever had someone call you a name that hurt you? We all have, right? 2.

    This New Year's message teaches the importance of a God-given vision. When our hearts are filled with divine purpose, we are strengthened to resist temptation and live meaningful, productive lives.

    Living the Christian life is so much more than what you do, it literally has nothing to do with the amount of money you sow, how many religious books you buy, which ministries you support it’s more than reading the bible, praying, and going to church.
