    The main point of this sermon is that through Hannah's story, we learn about the transformative power of prayer and God's ability to turn our mourning into dancing, reminding us to trust in His goodness and faithfulness in every circumstance.

    Good morning, family! Today, we will be diving into the life of Hannah, a woman who experienced God's mercy, the power of prayer, and the blessing of restoration in her life. But before we go any further, let's take a moment to welcome the Lord's presence with us today. Please join me in prayer. ...read more

    God is shifting you from a season of testing to a season of testimony. The same God who visited Sarah in her hopeless situation is visiting you today. He is turning your story around for His glory.

    IT IS MY SEASON OF LAUGHTER By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 21:6 (NKJV) - "And Sarah said, 'God has made me laugh, and all who hear will laugh with me.'" Supporting Texts: Psalm 126:1-3, Luke 1:37, Job 8:21, Psalm 30:5, Romans 4:19-21 INTRODUCTION: There are seasons ...read more

    When You Feel Abandoned

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 102 views

    Psalm 22 reveals that honest lament is not faithlessness but faithful endurance, culminating in Christ’s cry from the cross. Because Jesus entered abandonment for us, silence is never absence, and suffering is never the end of the story.

    Have you ever felt that God has left you? Not in a theoretical sense. Not the kind of question that shows up in a classroom discussion or a late-night debate about faith and reason. I mean something much more personal than that—something that settles into your chest and refuses to leave. Have you ...read more

    As we begin a new year, I wanted to share a message about our legacy. As you read the fictional stories of the three funerals, think about what your legacy will be when you leave here.

    Your Legacy: Will It Make It Through The Fire? Scripture: Matthew 6:19-21; First Corinthians 3:11-15 Happy New Year New Light!

    Why do we still need Christmas? It’s a story that’s 2000 years old. Most of us know the plot line and the main characters. There’s no surprise ending this year!

    Christmas Eve 2022 Isaiah 9:6-7 NIV For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.

    The Mystery Of (Un)answered Prayer

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Aug 23, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,123 views

    Two stories from Mark 7 illustrate the mystery of answered prayer: God adapts his glorious plan to the requests of ordinary people, even when granting the requests is greater than people can imagine.

    THE MYSTERY OF (UN)ANSWERED PRAYER—Mark 7:24-37 Many people have had the experience of praying—passionately, even desperately—and not receiving the answer they were seeking. That can be confusing, even troubling, and we naturally ask, “Why?” Was God not listening? Is he not able to do what we ask? ...read more

    The parable of the prodigal son could just as easily be called the story of the faithful Father. In it, we meet a providing father, a patient father, a passionate father, and a positive father. Happy Father's Day!

    The Faithful Father Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 6/18/2005 Happy Father’s Day. Father’s Day is a day of neckties and new cologne, a day of hugs, long-distance phone calls, and Hallmark cards. But most of all it’s a day to honor dads! "Honor your father and ...read more

    "Monsters In Our World”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Sep 8, 2021

    Spiritual warfare. The casting out of a demon demonstrates the power of Jesus, and He is the Messiah. Includes a story about how an overcoat could not save children from a snow storm, but Jesus is big enough to save us.

    In Jesus Holy Name September 12, 2021 Text: Luke 9:14-32 Text: James 2:19 Redeemer “Monsters in our World” Today’s message is not about “the way to heaven”.

    No Resurrection? How Does That Make Sense?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 17, 2024
     | 352 views

    It’s not clear what the back-story is for this claim, but it leads to one of Paul’s best little classes in logic. Perhaps there was a Sadducee-trained Jewish Christian in Corinth. They didn’t believe in any resurrection.

    Friday of the Twenty-Fourth Week in Course 2024 From the beginning of the Church way back in the first century Christians have been proclaiming and celebrating the physical Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. That was a real historical event that occurred three days after He was murdered ...read more

    The Joseph Principle

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Nov 22, 2023
     | 2,037 views

    But that principle does not apply to the story of Joseph in Genesis. In fact, the example of how Joseph succeeded and was used by God is the opposite of the Peter Principle. It is enough different that it deserves its own name. It can be called the Joseph Principle.

    Alba 6-30-13 THE JOSEPH PRINCIPLE Genesis 50:19-21 Have you heard of the Peter Principle? It was formulated by Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull in their 1969 book called The Peter Principle.

     | 1,612 views

    In Acts 5, we encounter the tale of Ananias and Sapphira. The essential elements of the story—the deception, the devil, the deaths, and the dread—work together to remind us that sin and Satan are serious obstacles in our journey with Jesus.
