    The Sin That Wants God

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 10, 2025
     | 195 views

    Cain sought God’s favor without surrender, but Christ’s blood still speaks—calling every heart from self-made worship to obedient, Spirit-filled revival.

    The Conflict at the Altar Every human being builds an altar. Some offer obedience; some offer opinion. Every life lifts something before God—work, worship, wealth, reputation—and waits for fire to fall. That is where the story of Cain and Abel begins: two brothers, two altars, two hearts, one ...read more

    Idol Minds

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 14, 2025
     | 233 views

    Idols seduce the mind and steal the heart, but Christ alone dethrones every false god and restores true worship, freedom, and identity.

    INTRODUCTION — THE ALTAR IN THE MIND If there is one truth humanity proves in every century, in every culture, in every language, it is this: We never stop worshiping. You can strip away temples, rituals, church buildings, religious vocabulary— you can call yourself modern, enlightened, ...read more

    Whack-A-Mole

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 15, 2025
     | 229 views

    Joshua 5 shows God dismantling the inner battles that keep resurfacing, calling us from self-struggle to surrender on holy ground where victory begins.

    INTRODUCTION — THE GAME There’s a sound most of us can recognize instantly — even if it has been decades since we heard it. A ding… a buzz… a wooden mallet striking rubber. And somewhere deep inside the memory, a child’s frustration mixed with sudden triumph. Whack-A-Mole. You remember the game. ...read more

    Unfollow Me Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 23, 2025
     | 218 views

    Jesus calls us to unfollow the voices that hurt us and follow Him into peace, identity, courage, and a life of true belonging.

    There is a strange paradox in the way we speak today. We live in an age with more freedom than any previous generation — more information, more options, more mobility, more personal expression. Yet even with all this freedom, we are more anxious, more fragmented, more exhausted, and more confused ...read more

    I Once Was Lost But Now I'm Found

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 2, 2025
     | 360 views

    Identity is not found by looking inward but revealed by God. We are lost in self but found when the Father comes running.

    I will never forget the moment when someone I loved looked at me and said, “I need to find myself.” I can still remember the quality of the light in the room, the strange hush in the air, the way those four words seemed to rearrange the furniture of my life in an instant. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t ...read more

    Murder At The Altar

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 3, 2025
     | 285 views

    The first murder at the altar exposes the danger of unsurrendered worship, but Jesus’ blood speaks mercy, transforming Cain-like hearts through grace.

    There is a sentence that sounds almost unbelievable the first time you hear it. A sentence we tend to rush past because it feels too severe, too intrusive, too revealing. But when you slow down long enough to take it seriously, it begins to open a doorway into the human heart… and into the ...read more

    When Religion Collides With Revelation

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 8, 2025
     | 236 views

    Cain and Abel reveal two spiritual systems: self-made religion or grace-filled revelation. God accepts only the worship shaped by surrender to His revealed way.

    Some of the most defining moments in Scripture arrive without fanfare. No thunder. No angels. No miracles that split seas or shake mountains. Just a simple scene, described with almost startling brevity, that quietly reveals the inner architecture of the human heart. The story of Cain and Abel in ...read more

    We Have Met The Enemy

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 21, 2025
     | 299 views

    True victory is not outliving opponents but surrendering self to Christ, who wins the unseen battle and grants lasting peace.

    Introduction – The Old Man with No Enemies A reporter once sat down with a man celebrating his hundredth birthday. He asked, “Sir, when you look back on a full century of life, what are you most proud of?” The old man smiled and said, “Well, I don’t have an enemy in the world.” The reporter’s ...read more

    The Cost And Reward Of Discipleship Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Sep 21, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,854 views

    When Jesus called people to follow Him, He was upfront about the cost. He never promised discipleship would be easy, He promised it would be worth it.

    The cost of being a disciple of Jesus is profound. It’s a journey marked by surrender, sacrifice, and a willingness to lay down everything for the sake of following Christ. When Jesus called people to follow Him, He was upfront about the cost. He never promised that discipleship would be easy, but ...read more

     | 7,300 views

    There is a lifelong wrestling match between the desires of the flesh and the complete surrender of our will to the will of God.

    based on 36 ratings
     | 4,711 views

    We find peace in: 1. Humility 2. Believing 3. Surrender

    I recently read of a couple who retired in 1980. They were alarmed by the threat of nuclear war, so they undertook a serious study of all the countries of the world which would be least likely to experience war. They wanted to be sure they spent their last years in peace and security. They ...read more

    God’s promise is ours for the taking if we will surrender our lives to Him.

    The Promise Acts 26:1 - 32 Intro: Early in life we find out what a promise is. It is not uncommon for kids to make promises to their parents. “I promise I’ll be good. But please don’t spank me!” Or kids make promises to each other and also find out what it means when someone crosses their ...read more

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Romans 12:1-2 – "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
