    I Wander As I Wander

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 13, 2025
     | 86 views

    Wandering ends when we trust God more than our fears, letting His presence lead our hearts out of old circles and into promise.

    There’s a phrase that has been turning over in my heart—one you might recognize, though not quite in the form you learned it. We know the old carol, “I Wonder as I Wander.” But somewhere along the way, in the wilderness seasons of my own life, it became this: “I wander as I wander.” Not poetic. ...read more

    Contributed by Seth Lawson on Apr 25, 2025
     | 386 views

    Through Christ, our guilt is gone and our freedom has come.

    A few weeks ago, I found myself in a courtroom. Not exactly how I planned to spend my morning. It all started with something small. My birthday’s in February, which means a few of our vehicles have registration renewals due by the end of that month. You’d think that would help me remember. One of ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 95 views

    Jesus personally calls and empowers ordinary people to bring hope and healing, inviting us to trust his authority and join his compassionate mission.

    Friends, imagine Jesus speaking your name with a smile. Picture calloused hands from a carpenter’s bench reaching for ordinary people with ordinary lives—fishermen with tired shoulders, a tax collector with a checkered reputation, men whose resumes looked unimpressive by any earthly standard. Yet ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 141 views

    True revival is living daily in the Spirit’s righteousness, peace, and joy, letting God’s love transform ordinary moments and relationships into Kingdom life.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that’s doing a lot of work. Bills stack up, headlines shout, and our own hearts whisper old worries with new volume. And yet, into that ache comes a whisper stronger than worry: the King is here, and where the King is, joy begins to sing. Not a thin grin, not ...read more

    The sermon urges believers to pursue a daily, intimate walk with God like Enoch, prioritizing faithfulness and devotion over worldly achievement or recognition.

    If you’ve ever taken a slow walk with someone you love, you know the wonder of it. The world rushes, but your pace becomes conversation, companionship, and comfort. You notice what you’d miss at a sprint—the birdsong, the breeze, the steady presence at your side. Scripture tells us of a man who ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 84 views

    God’s presence empowers us to release the past, trust Him with our present and future, and pursue Jesus as our ultimate prize.

    Some of us walked in today with a calendar full of plans and a heart full of questions. Others came with a smile for the room and a sigh for the ride home. Life has a way of handing us seasons we didn’t pencil in—detours we didn’t expect, delays we didn’t schedule, and disappointments we didn’t see ...read more

     | 65 views

    We are called to shine Christ’s light through everyday acts of kindness and presence, bringing hope and God’s love to those around us.

    There are evenings when the sky looks like God tossed diamonds across black velvet. You step outside, breathe deep, and remember that the world is bigger than your worries. Streetlights glow. Porch lights flicker. A candle on a kitchen table warms a whole room. And into this very world—our ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 66 views

    The sermon urges us to personally confess Jesus as the Christ, surrendering all to Him, and finding true life and identity in wholehearted allegiance to Him.

    There are questions that settle the soul. They steady the heart in a world of headlines and hurry. One question rises above the noise like a bell in a storm. Jesus asks it with gentle authority and unshakable kindness: “Who do you say that I am?” We carry many names on our backs—titles, labels, ...read more

    The sermon emphasizes honest confession, community prayer, and faithful living as the pathway to experiencing God’s healing power and transformative presence together.

    Friends, I’m so glad you’re here. I don’t know what kind of week you’ve had—messy or marvelous, hurried or hopeful—but I do know this: God meets us where we are and loves us too much to leave us there. He meets us in living rooms and hospital rooms, in traffic and in tears, in quiet corners and ...read more

     | 50 views

    God sees and values our hidden faithfulness, works through our weakness, and calls us to trust His authority and power through prayerful obedience.

    Some of us know the quiet corners of life—the cubicle where no one notices, the kitchen where you serve with a smile, the classroom where faith is a whisper. You wonder, Does God see me here? Does this count? Friend, the Father’s eyes are not dim. He sees the sparrow’s flight and your faithful ...read more

    God’s grace meets us in our weakness, transforms our identity, and invites us to live in continual amazement and gratitude for His mercy.

    Some days feel like thin ice, don’t they? One more worry, one more regret, and the surface might crack. You smile for the room, but your heart whispers, “I’m worn, I’m weak, I’m wondering.” And then, in the hush of that honest place, a gentle truth arrives: God’s mercy is not measured by your ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 68 views

    The sermon encourages believers to find hope, comfort, and motivation for faithful living in the promised return of Jesus and the assurance of eternal reunion.

    Some promises hush a room. “I’m on my way,” is one of them. The Lord Jesus has said it. And the homesick hearts of God’s people have been listening ever since. We ache for that trumpet, we long for that shout, we yearn for that reunion where grief will be gone and goodbyes will be history. Does ...read more

    The sermon encourages believers to move beyond comfort, pursue spiritual growth, and press on with perseverance, relying on God’s grace rather than personal strength.

    Friends, welcome. Some days feel like a treadmill set just a little too fast—our feet are moving, our hearts are pumping, but are we actually getting anywhere? If you’ve ever felt stalled, stuck, or simply stale, you’re in good company. The apostle Paul knew that sensation, and he writes with a ...read more

     | 26,573 views

    This sermon looks at how we as the clay need to do our potter’s bidding not ours by looking at the potter’s authority over and love for the clay.

    A minister in Texas used a very creative visual aid to start his message. He brought on to the stage a beautiful Golden Irish Setter that belonged to his youth minister. The Youth minister loved this dog so much that when the dog had been sick and had to be in the vet kennel overnight, he stayed ...read more
