    Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 14, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 2,665 views

    I know that all of you stand in line at grocery stores, and though I have not done any grocery shopping here in Orange City, I’d bet a bundle that the experience here is pretty much like my experience in a small town in North Texas.

    Scouting Report TCF Sermon July 6, 2003 2 Cor. 2:10-11 If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven--if there was anything to forgive--I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might not outwit us.

    Paul models for us the importance of telling our story. Some elements to incorporate into our story are admitting our wrongs, finding forgiveness in Jesus, and how this experience has changed our lives and made us authentic genuine Christians. We also lea

    Jesus The Controversialist Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 17, 2023
     | 2,186 views

    Mark portrays Jesus as strong and bold as He dealt with spiritual controversies "head on." In this section of Mark, he grouped together four incidents that showed how Jesus faced the controversies and taught the truth. We need to ask ourselves if we are more like Jesus or the Pharisees.

    A. Let me begin with a question: when you try to picture Jesus in your mind, how do you picture Him? 1. Do you picture Him being gentle, meek and loving? Certainly, He was all those things. 2. But Jesus also had other characteristics and other sides to Him. 3. When we read the Gospel accounts, ...read more

    Is There Not A Cause?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 278 views

    God’s word is never idle—it creates purpose and calls for response. Like David, we are not defined by the roles others assign us, but by the word God has spoken over our lives. When that word becomes a cause, faith moves from observation to obedience.

    As David stood in the Valley of Elah, the battle between Israel and the Philistines was nearing a breaking point. For forty days, the giant Goliath had stepped forward to issue his challenge, defying the armies of the living God. And for forty days, no one answered him. The silence was not caused ...read more

     | 216 views

    True peace and purpose come from drawing near to God, letting go of distractions, and seeking His presence above all else in our daily lives.

    Friends, some weeks feel like a treadmill stuck on high speed. Our calendars crowd us, our phones buzz at us, and our souls sigh within us. We try to keep up appearances while our insides ache for an anchor. Have you felt that slow leak of peace, that subtle drift of the heart when worries and ...read more

    God calls ordinary, imperfect people to carry His name, assuring us that our past doesn’t disqualify us and His presence empowers our purpose.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Your hands shook a little when you poured the coffee. Your thoughts carried old regrets like heavy suitcases. You wonder, “Could God still use me? Does Heaven have a purpose for someone like me?” Friend, lift your chin. The heart of God is ...read more
