     | 2,513 views

    Someone once asked a question that I am sure that we could all relate to given that it has happened to you. Does our lifestyle illustrate a walk that bears God’s name?

    Covenant Before Culture

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 15, 2025
     | 198 views

    Marriage is God’s covenant design from creation, not a cultural contract, and only the new heart given by Christ can overcome hardness, restore faithfulness, and display His love to the world.

    (The Case for Marriage) I. God’s Original Design Genesis 2:18–24 When the Pharisees asked Jesus about divorce, He did something simple and bold. He didn’t argue the law. He didn’t haggle over texts. He went back to the garden. He started at the beginning. He said, “From the beginning it was not ...read more

     | 180 views

    True strength and peace come from wholeheartedly submitting to God, resisting evil, and finding our deepest satisfaction and security in Christ alone.

    Some mornings the mirror tells the truth we’re slow to admit: we’re tired in places that sleep can’t reach. Our hearts carry headlines nobody else reads. The schedule is stuffed, the inbox is full, and the soul feels thin. In that kind of world, we need a word that’s short enough to memorize and ...read more

    based on 62 ratings
     | 3,491 views

    Be careful what lines you cross and whose box you jump into.

    Drawing Lines and Little Boxes Recently I was described as one who draws lines all through their sermons. I was also told that I have a very small theological box and it was easy to surmise that neither comment was meant to be a compliment or to affirm that these were traits to hold on to and ...read more

    Acts 4 presents Peter as a confident, powerful preacher of Christ... but not two months earlier he had been a cowering coward. What made the difference?

    OPEN: In the 70’s there was runaway hit movie starring Sylvester Stallone, entitled "Rocky." Many people, including myself were unaware that the movie was based on a real life boxer named Chuck Werner - otherwise known as the Bayonne Bleeder (because he bled so easily and freely throughout his ...read more

    Doubt. It impacts all of us. Doubts are not incompatible with faith. In fact, they can add to our faith. So how do you access the power of the resurrection and overcome your doubts?

    Overcoming Doubt Numbers 13:25-33 Lord Halifax, the secretary of Great Britain, once shared a railway compartment with two prim looking spinsters. A few moments before reaching his destination, the train passed through a tunnel. In the utter darkness, he noisily kissed the back of his hand several ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,149 views

    At Christ’s enthronement a transfer of authority took place. What Adam lost through disobedience – Christ regained through obedience! However, even though Satan is no longer “the ruler of this world,” he isn’t going to give it up without a fight and war erupts in heaven.

    May 11, 2024 The 3rd and final section of Revelation opens with the 4th introductory Sanctuary Scene of the book: Revelation 11:19 - Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.

Abram’s question was “What will You give me? I’m childless, and the only heir I have is Eliezer of Damascus (Gen 15:2, ...read more

    Pergamum: When Faithfulness Is Misplaced Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 28, 2026
     | 84 views

    Living near power, Pergamum remained faithful yet misdirected loyalty, until Christ’s word called repentance, restored authority, and promised hidden sustenance and identity.

    Pergamum is the third letter to the seven churches in Revelation, and by the time we arrive here, the pressure has changed again. Ephesus dealt with something that faded quietly. Smyrna faced pressure that came from the outside, loud and unmistakable. Pergamum is different. The danger here is ...read more
