Stop Telling God What To Do

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025

How Prayer Changes Us Before It Changes Anything Else. Prayer is not controlling outcomes but aligning with God’s heart, trusting Him fully, and joining His transforming work in people’s lives.

Strength With No Power

Contributed by Caleb Sowers on Dec 29, 2018

Power. The world puts a lot of value into the word. For us power can mean many things; the amount of influence a person has or the amount of physical capability a person possesses. It can mean how much a vehicle can move or haul, or the ability to influence world politics. It can mean many things.

Some people are fans of boxing, although I will admit I am more of a fan of UFC then boxing.

Canvas

Contributed by Dino Rizzo on May 5, 2009

This sermon talks about God’s will and how important it is to allow Him control of our lives and our destiny. He can be the Master Painter on the canvas of our lives.
