Good Grief! Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Oct 13, 2025

We all thirst for meaning, hope, and grace. In Christ, we find the living water that truly satisfies. “Good grief” awakens us to our need for Him, leads us to repentance, and brings new life. The world is thirsty. Don’t leave them under an empty spigot — point them to Jesus, the living water.

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 16, 2025

I guess all of us have watched this program and enjoyed it, as some of the guests of the show made good deals and some made bad deals. While none of us have appeared on this show and played “Let’s Make A Deal,” the fact is, Satan wants to play this game with us every day. For example, the ...read more

God Has Abandoned You Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Jul 7, 2025

Even when God feels silent or distant, He has not abandoned us. His presence is constant—even in the pain, even in the silence. The lie says God has walked away; the truth is, He is still with us. Always.

Sermon 9 - The Place Of Torment Series

Contributed by David Owens on Aug 4, 2025

Hell is just as real as heaven. The biblical images of heaven and hell are designed to convince us that we will want to go to heaven and won't want to go to hell. The good news is that no one has to go to hell because God has provided a way of escape and His name is Jesus.
