    Some weeks feel like a head-on collision with life, don’t they? The calendar crowds you. The headlines haunt you.

    Gratitude transforms us when we respond to Jesus’ mercy with obedience and thanksgiving, drawing us closer to God and shaping our hearts through prayer.

    Some of us walked in today with weary hearts, carrying questions that don’t quiet down when the lights go out.

    John 2:13-25 “A New Age—A New Relationship” INTRODUCTION According to Hollywood there are two ways to start a war. You can send in the Seal Teams and start it covertly, or you can do start it with a show of force; a blitzkrieg. This was Hitler’s trademark in the ...read more

    Now that we know a little bit of what heaven will look like, what will we do there? What is it going to be like to live in heaven? Are we going to be sitting on a cloud strumming a harp? Is heaven going to be one very long church service? In our text toda

    Presence Over Praise

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 88 views

    When we choose God’s presence over applause, faithful service over spotlight, and trust in waiting over instant recognition, our hearts are shaped for His glory

    There is something sacred in the ordinary. A simple door. A gate. A threshold. A doorkeeper. The one who watches, opens, welcomes, guards. In the temple system of old, the doorkeeper had no glamorous role. Few songs were written about him. He rarely stood in the spotlight. But without him, people ...read more

    Jesus is the Foundation of the Christian life. Upon that foundation there are three key pillars that enable to live the abundant life that Christ wants for us: God's Word, God's love and Grace, and our active engagement in doing the work of God.

    Today we want to take an opportunity to think about strengthening and making firm the foundation of our lives. The parable that was just read talks about the importance of building on a sure foundation. If life was always calm, if there were no storms, if troubles never came our way, then perhaps ...read more

    One of the many things we take for granted each day is our God-given ability to be able to communicate with each other. But sometimes the words we use get us in a lot of trouble.

    In 1659 Christmas was banned. More recently, genuine Christmas has been supplanted by a commercial Christmas with the Christmas tree as its center. Yet strange to tell, long ago, God picked out a Christmas tree for His Son.

    GOD’S CHRISTMAS TREE 1 Pet. 2:24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. In one Dennis the Menace cartoon, Dennis rushes into the living room. His mother is standing there with her mouth open and Dennis is holding a large box. 2. He announces with a loud voice, “We’d better tell Santa Claus to forget about ...read more
