    No Repentance, No Revival Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 12, 2025
     | 170 views

    Without repentance, revival becomes theater—faith without surrender. True awakening begins when hearts trade control for the cross of Christ.

    The Rubberneck Revival We’ve all done it—slowed down to stare at someone else’s wreck. Traffic crawls, brake lights flare, and curiosity pulls at us. We glance, we speculate, we shake our heads—and then we move on. That’s the spirit of this cultural moment. The world is rubbernecking religion. ...read more

    God’s delay is mercy. Return to Jesus, repent together, walk by faith. Step into grace. Cross the river. Hope ahead, always.

    What God Thinks Of You

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 29, 2025
     | 152 views

    Human worth does not come from ability but from God’s image in us, fully affirmed in Jesus’ incarnation, cross, and resurrection.

    I want to speak to you today about what gives human beings value — what gives us worth. We must take people seriously as beings of immeasurable value. Human worth isn’t something we earn; it’s something we are given. I am profoundly proud to be a human being. Our species is astonishing. The ...read more

    God's Plan From The Beginning

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 24, 2024
     | 1,082 views

    When Jesus came and died on that cross in our place, it was not an after-thought. God planned it all ahead of time. Literally ahead of time.

    Alba 3-24-2024 GOD'S PLAN FROM THE BEGINNING II Thessalonians 2:13-17 Anybody who remembers watching cable TV in the 2000s will likely recall a Verizon commercial campaign in which a man sporting thick-framed glasses repeatedly asks in unlikely locations, "Can you hear me now?". ...read more

    Jesus Makes Sense

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 31, 2025
     | 143 views

    Grace crosses forbidden borders to restore what systems abandon; Jesus speaks order into chaos, reclaiming the image of God within us.

    There are moments in Scripture when heaven steps across an invisible border, and the entire order of creation trembles. This is one of them. The Gospel of Mark says, “They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.” That sentence may sound geographical, but it’s ...read more

    In Ephesians 5:19-21, we see that Spirit filled people do three things. They: 1) Sing (Ephesians 5:19), 2) Say Thanks (Ephesians 5:20) and are 3) Submissive (Ephesians 5:21).

    Ephesians 5:18b-21 [18] (And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery), but be filled with the Spirit, [19] addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, [20] giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father ...read more

    It’s like looking at Jesus on the cross. We can look at him on the cross and see how much he loves us. But it’s too big. How are we meant to copy that? So Jesus shows us something we can copy. He kneels down and washes his followers feet.

    Jesus said, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." He also said, "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." So following him is vitally important. How is it done?

    Whose tower is it that is being built? Who’s war is being waged? The answer to these questions can make all the difference in how we view our relationship with Christ.
