    Standing In The Storm

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 285 views

    Jesus teaches that storms are inevitable, but collapse is not; lives anchored in obedience to Christ stand firm when pressure reveals the foundation beneath them.

    There are storms we prepare for, and there are storms that arrive without warning. Some give us time. We see the clouds gathering. We hear the forecasts. We sense the pressure building in the air. Others come suddenly—without courtesy, without explanation, without asking whether this is a ...read more

    High Hopes When All Is Not Well

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025
     | 312 views

    Faith is not measured by certainty or outcomes, but by a living relationship with Jesus—trusting Him faithfully when answers are delayed and life remains unresolved.

    Some of us are old enough to remember a simple song that used to show up on the radio and in cartoons. It wasn’t trying to be profound. It wasn’t aiming for insight. It was lighthearted—almost silly. And yet, it stayed with people far longer than you’d expect. --- High Hopes Next time you're ...read more

    Is It Time To Confess Our Sins?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 3, 2026
     | 223 views

    Golden Calf idolatry reveals how cherished sin destroys fellowship, while confession opens the way for God’s mercy, forgiveness, and restoration.

    There are moments in Scripture that are so disturbing, so uncomfortable, that we are tempted to read past them quickly. We would rather not linger there. We would prefer safer passages—stories of deliverance, victory, faith rewarded. But the Word of God does not allow us that luxury. There are ...read more

    A Simple Metaphor Jesus Uses That Is Surprisingly Complicated Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 27, 2026
     | 319 views

    Jesus speaks here about "salt." It seems a simple word picture but it's more complicated than it first appears. What is Jesus trying to teach us here?

    - I’m going to take a deep dive into the words of Jesus here about salt. - At one level, this seems a simple metaphor. But I have long been frustrated that the actual words used here create some confusion. I leave with more questions than answers. Thus, I want to use this as an opportunity to dig ...read more

    The Need, The Power, And The Benefits Of The Blood PRO Sermon

     | 286 views

    Jesus’ sacrifice fully cleanses our deepest guilt, offering complete forgiveness and hope, because we are more loved in Christ than we ever imagined.

    Some stains laugh at soap. You scrub and soak, and they just smile back at you. Life has its stains too—memories that will not fade, words we wish we never said, habits that haunt our sleep. We carry quiet shame the way a traveler shoulders a heavy pack. We try harder, promise bigger, resolve ...read more

    God is in control, and we have have hope and security in knowing that nothing will take place in our lives, or in this world, that He is not aware of.

    This past Wednesday, we began looking into the subject of worship. I shared with the church some-thing that the Lord spoke to me several weeks ago. He said, "I want this church to exemplify heavenly praise." I believe that this is God’s desire for the entire Body of Christ, but it has specific ...read more
