    Reason Comes Home Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025
     | 94 views

    Reason returns to peace when intellect kneels beside humility—uniting thought and wonder, truth and love, to rediscover meaning beyond knowledge.

    The word reason used to sound like a promise. It meant light after darkness, knowledge after superstition, progress after fear. It built microscopes and libraries, engines and empires. It made us believe that if we only learned enough, we could cure every sickness and silence every war. But ...read more

    Right At The Door

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 25, 2025

    God’s delay is mercy. Return to Jesus, repent together, walk by faith. Step into grace. Cross the river. Hope ahead, always.

    (From Bitter to Better While We Wait) There’s a tiny spacecraft drifting through darkness right now. You can’t see it with your eyes. No telescope can frame it. Pioneer 10 left Earth when gasoline was 36 cents a gallon, and bell-bottoms were still a thing. It flew past Jupiter, past Pluto, out ...read more

    Jesus invites us to stay ready for His return by daily renewing our walk with Him and keeping our spiritual lamps filled.

    There are some lessons life teaches the hard way. Sometimes they arrive wrapped in sweat and bruises on a Friday night football field. A friend of mine told me a story from when he played high school football. He was tough, competitive, the kind of kid who would try to tape a broken finger back in ...read more

    This sermon explores the concept of Jesus's unexpected return as taught in the Bible, encouraging believers to live in hopeful anticipation of God's presence in their daily lives.

    Have you ever struggled with doubts about faith? I want to introduce you to a guy named John Wesley who lived in England from 1703-1791. He was the 15th of 19 kids, and his mom homeschooled them all. His father was a pastor in the Anglican Church, and John himself became a pastor in that same ...read more

    The Lord’s Patience Is Only Giving Us Extra Time To Be Saved

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 17, 2021
     | 2,015 views

    This is an exposition of 2 Peter 3 as we learn not to become swayed by scoffers who cast doubts in our minds about the return of Jesus Christ. Jesus is coming as He promised; what seems like a delay is only a chance for us to repent. In the mean time, we should live godly as we await His return.

    1. In the last days, there will be scoffers (v. 3) 2. The scoffers will be following their own evil (sinful) desires (v. 3) 3. They will mock the promise of the coming of Jesus Christ saying “Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything ...read more

     | 2,929 views

    We hear the word "repent" or "repentance" many times through scripture. But what does it really mean? Translated from the Hebrew word Teshuvah, we can dig deeper by understanding the root meaning of this Hebrew word.

    Jeremiah tells the people of Israel that they are in grave danger of God’s judgement because of their infidelity but there is hope if only they would return to God in repentance and faith.

    KINGDOM LOST - KINGDOM GAINED In business life there has to be a financial year-end when there’s stocktaking. That’s what Jeremiah had done for the nation of Israel - and he didn’t like the result. There was more loss than profit. The Old Testament prophets were often quite blunt in announcing ...read more

    What would you do if God came to dinner? Abraham gives his best to the Lord and receives fellowship, promise, and plans for the future in return.

    Two things are accomplished in this chapter - a visit from God Himself for two reasons: blessings and judgment. God is reminding Abraham - and especially Sarah - of the promised son, and to engage Abraham in a discussion about judging sin. It teaches about God’s character and intercession. Verse ...read more

    “What Are The Signs Of The Last Days? 2 Timothy 3:1-5 INTRODUCTION: We CONTINUE our series on “The Rapture”. Sunday Morning, we saw that Jesus is coming … He is coming quickly … AND … it could be SOON. In the meantime, we have a RESPONSIBILITY, as we await His return with JOYOUS ...read more

    Hosea shares with us a beautiful description of the unconditional love of God the Father for his children, and his continual call to repent and return to his embrace.

    The Tender Love of God I. How do you picture God? When God was first described to you, what were you told about him?
