     | 1,133 views

    Jesus gives pastors as a loving gift to His church, calling us to honor, support, and pray for them as they shepherd and serve us.

    Some of the greatest gifts Jesus gives to His church have names and faces, coffee-stained sermon notes, calloused knees, and tender hearts. They stand at hospital bedsides, whisper prayers in empty sanctuaries, answer phone calls after midnight, and show up again on Sunday with a smile that says, ...read more

     | 65,228 views

    This morning we’re going to focus on Jesus as the Lamb. Jesus is the lamb slain before the foundation of the world. Even before God began to construct creation, he made provision for the sins of a fallen race. Instead of camping in one passage, I want to

    based on 2 ratings

    Using the popular song by Mariah Carey "All I Want For Christmas Is You" this Christmas Eve devotion focuses the fact that all God wanted for Christmas... is you.

    OPEN: There was a preacher who said that (when he was young) he was an only child - for the first few Christmases. As a result, he got the impression that Christmas was all about HIM, and he said “That was the essence of real joy. I thought Christmas was all about me, and all I wanted for ...read more

    Point 1: The Shepherd's Love and Care In Matthew 18:10, Jesus begins by emphasizing the preciousness of each individual soul. Our Heavenly Father cares deeply for every person, regardless of their current spiritual state. Just as a shepherd would leave the ninety-nine sheep to search for the ...read more

    The Peace Altar

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 20, 2025
     | 23 views

    God gives peace before the battle, speaks identity before performance, and empowers fearful people through His presence, not their strength.

    Most of us assume peace comes after things change. After the diagnosis is clear. After the conflict is resolved. After the money situation stabilizes. After the fear finally loosens its grip. We tell ourselves, “I’ll have peace when the battle is over.” But the story of Gideon opens with a ...read more
