    Contributed by Bishop, W. F. Houston, Jr. on Nov 19, 2023
     | 1,625 views

    Ever wondered why the Gospel emphasizes salvation as a gift? Why is it unearned and freely bestowed? As we explore the truths of God's grace, anchored in Ephesians 2:8-9, we discover a profound answer.

    In the next moments, we'll explore the vastness of God's grace as revealed to us in Ephesians 2-8-9. This scripture reminds us that our salvation isn't a trophy of our deeds, but a testament to God's deep and philosophical love and mercy. It challenges our understanding of merit and ...read more

Until he and Guenevere ...read more

  • Find Your Towel

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025
     | 213 views

    Jesus gives authority to serve, not rule—power shaped like a towel, lifting others, revealing love’s quiet strength, and mirroring His heart.

    1. The Ladder and the Towel My senior pastor once stood with me in the church fellowship hall staring at a row of framed photographs—portraits of evangelists who had conducted meetings through the years. His finger paused on one. “H. M. S. Richards, Sr.,” he said softly. Then came a line I’ll ...read more

  • Ash Wednesday "marked, But Not For Show" Series

    Contributed by Shawn Vollmerhausen on Mar 13, 2026
     | 30 views

    Explores the tension between the visible mark of ashes and Jesus’ call to a hidden, sincere faith. The sermon emphasizes the God who ‘sees in secret,’ the difference between outward signs and inward renewal, and the invitation Lent offers to return to God with honesty.

    Tonight we gather at the doorway of Lent, a season that invites us to slow down, to look inward, and to return to God with honesty. Ash Wednesday is unlike any other night in the Christian year. It is quiet, reflective, and strangely beautiful. We come forward to receive ashes on our foreheads, a ...read more

    Christ’s humility reveals heaven’s heart—God stooping in love. When His mind lives in us, pride dies, grace flows, and hearts rise.

    I. The Heartbeat of Heaven There are moments in Scripture that let us overhear the heartbeat of heaven. Philippians 2 : 5-11 is one of them.

    Imagine standing face to face with God. What would you feel? Awe? Fear? Wonder? Perhaps all three. Jacob claims to have seen God, yet John asserts that no one has ever seen God. How do we reconcile these two truths, and what does it mean for our walk with Jesus today?

    Face to Face with God: Seeing Jesus, Following Jesus Introduction: Engaging the Heart Imagine standing face to face with God. What would you feel? Awe? Fear? Wonder? Perhaps all three. In our sermon today, we see two seemingly paradoxical statements: Genesis 32:30 (NLT): "So Jacob named ...read more

     | 218 views

    In this continuing study of the Restoration of God, we look at what sin ruined, the results of that; how the Lord identified with those results, and now what God has restored. This time our theme is SEPARATION. We look at what God restored – union and communion and fellowship.

    MEASURE UPON MEASURE – SEPARATION – THE RESTORATION OF GOD - Part 4 It is hard to split this Second Consequence of man’s sin to make two messages. It is too big for one talk but does not split into two properly. That has made the first Part bigger and the second Part smaller. Please understand ...read more
