    But As For That Day And Hour, Nobody Knows It

    Contributed by Carl Benge on Jan 5, 2008
     | 6,863 views

    First Advent Sunday Year A Remembering that in the Second Advent we will not know the day or time of it.

    When I read over the words of the Gospel reading today from Matthew, I thought of an old Henry Fonda movie I recently saw. The movie is called Fail Safe, it’s the story of a nuclear alert gone wrong. A flight crew aboard a U.S. bomber group of B-58 Hustlers if memory serves me correct. They think ...read more

    Personal Encounters with Jesus

    Many of us can recall some moment in time that stands out as a turning point in our lives. Maybe even some very important person, you may have met, whether at a fair, or town celebration or even on an airplane. For example, take my best friend from back home, Craig. When he was in fourth grade, ...read more

    God is bigger than our doubts and through faith in Him, even amidst our struggles with unbelief, we can experience His miraculous healing power.

    Good morning, church family. I hope this day finds you blessed and ready to receive God's word. Today, we're going to dive into a scripture that reminds us of a powerful truth: God is bigger than our doubts. There are moments in life when our faith can waver, where doubt creeps in, and we question ...read more

    It's About Time

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 7, 2025
     | 183 views

    God invites us to slow down—to listen before reacting, to speak with grace, and to let His Spirit shape our emotional responses. When we follow James 1:19, our relationships reflect the patient, gentle heart of Jesus.

    There are moments in ministry that arrive quietly, without fanfare or warning, and yet they end up shaping the way you see people, see yourself, and even see God. One of those moments for me came on a day that seemed ordinary. I was on my way to visit a dear church member I hadn’t seen for too ...read more

    Is There Not A Cause?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 353 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

    Did Satan Tell The Truth?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 29, 2025
     | 243 views

    Satan’s lie promised life without God, but Jesus entered death, destroyed the Uncreation, and gives resurrection life only to those who trust Him.

    One Lie Began Uncreation — and Jesus Unraveled It If there is one moment in the entire story of humanity when everything changed—when the world bent, when the soul cracked, when the fabric of existence tore—it was the moment a serpent whispered five little words into human ears: “You will not ...read more

    Our Best Days Start Now “and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.

     | 5,588 views

    Carpe diem, seizing the opportunities of this day, is a great piece of advice. We human beings only have a precious little time which God grants to us here on planet earth. We should be putting that time to good use.

    The Conversion Of Paul Series

     | 12,502 views

    Paul's encounter with the Lord brought about a radical transformation in his life. He began a walk of faith with the Lord that offered hope and assurance of eternal life. Of all the walks one takes with the Lord by faith, salvation is by far the best.

    Series: Walking by Faith # 6 The Conversion of Paul Acts 9: 1-9 Over the past several weeks we have considered various accounts of those who walked by faith and received the abundance of the Lord. Our text today also reveals a walk of faith. While this encounter is much different than the previous ...read more

    Shadows of the Cross Pt 2 – Golgotha, In the Shadow of Death Luke 23:33-49 Last week we walked in Gethsemane’s shadows – facing the broken promises, broken religion, and Jesus’ broken heart.

    The Depths Of Commitment: Lessons From The Garden Of Gethsemane"

    Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Apr 14, 2025
     | 439 views

    the Garden of Gethsemane. Here, in the stillness of the olive trees and the shadows of the night, we encounter Jesus at His most vulnerable, grappling with divine purpose and human frailty.

    Introduction Dearly beloved, as we gather today, we find ourselves at the threshold of a profound journey—the journey through Holy Week. Our focus rests upon a sacred moment in Scripture, nestled within the narrative of Christ's impending sacrifice: the Garden of Gethsemane. Here, in the ...read more

    Funeral Sermon For The Loss Of A Young Child: "the Smallest Life, A Miracle" Series

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Jun 23, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,078 views

    The loss of a young child or infant is one of the most difficult experiences for any family to process. This funeral sermon is meant to communicate the inherent beauty and worth of even the most fleeting of lives.

    Words alone cannot comfort a grieving heart, because words cannot replace the ones we love. Even the most beautiful words are little things, here for only a moment, fleeting and often unnoticed. We live in a world filled with words, some shouted from rooftops and some whispered in a quiet room, yet ...read more

    Crisis: Dangerous Opportunity

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 14, 2001
    based on 39 ratings
     | 5,395 views

    Jesus precipitated a crisis for others around Him: for Judas, for the disciples, for Peter. Their reactions are like ours -- confused -- but Jesus knows who He is in the midst of the crisis.

    I’m sure that you have heard many times now that the Chinese character that is usually translated by the English word “crisis” is actually made up of two components – one character that means “dangerous” and the other that means “opportunity.” Put “dangerous” and “opportunity” together, and you ...read more
