    A lot of grumpy bunkem occurs in outraged articles in the press about how our country isn't like what is was in the "good ol' Christian days" - but these grumpy ol' codgers have forgotten the truth and joy of the Easter message!

    What stories have you seen about Easter in the news? {take any suggestions} Two jumped out at me - and both of them were about Easter Eggs. In the first story a Doctor Andrew Kelso had written an article advising people not to scoff all their Easter Eggs in one go. There was an uproar. He can’t ...read more

    David chose to invite Mephibosheth to the king's table and took care of all his needs. Why would he do this and what can we learn from his example? Check out these thoughts from Scott Jewell, our Family Minister.

    We’ve been looking at a number of “children’s stories” from the Bible this summer. I finally get a turn to share what has become one of my favorite stories because of how it’s been connected to the week of church camp at the Ark, where Jeff and I have been faculty. I’ll talk more about that ...read more

    Is This All There Is To Life?

     | 1,819 views

    Abraham discovered that real LIFE is about walking with God! Getting to know God! And in the text Paul tells us that God still wants people to walk with Him by faith.

    March 7, 1993 Romans 4:1 "What shall we say that Abraham ... has found?" The question of our text, "What has Abraham discovered?" comes between two Bible stories in our lesson for today; one from the Old Testament, one from the New. Both of these stories touch on the profound ...read more

    Nob Lessons

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025
     | 141 views

    God meets fugitives in forgotten places, offering bread, restored courage, forgiven regret, and a remnant of hope that carries destiny forward.

    David is exhausted. Not the kind of tired a nap can fix. He is tired in his bones, in his courage, in his faith. The applause that once filled the air has been replaced by the sound of Saul sharpening a spear. David had been the future king in the palace yesterday. Today he is a fugitive hiding ...read more

     | 2,329 views

    Fighting and winning one battle does not define your life, any more than fighting and losing one battle defines who you are.

    1 SAMUEL 17:34-37 SUCCESS IS NEVER ABOUT DEFEATING GIANTS “David said to Saul, ‘Your servant used to keep sheep for his father. And when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb from the flock, I went after him and struck him and delivered it out of his mouth. And if he arose against me, I ...read more

    God gave him dreams and as these dreams kind of guided him in the beginning, later on he gets thrown in a cistern and he’s taken off to Egypt.

    Well I’m excited today because today we get to start the story of Joseph. Now the story of Joseph is a story that takes up a quarter of the book of Genesis from chapter 37 all the way to the end. More than a quarter of the whole book. So we’re going to spend some time learning about Joseph. We ...read more

    This sermon focuses on the concept of failure, specifically moral failure and the three resources available to Christians that will hopefully prevent them from it.

    If you have your Bibles with you today and you want to follow along, we are going to be looking at a passage in the Old Testament Genesis 39. Today is September 1. Summer is just about over. That is hard to believe isn’t it? Especially when we consider that really it probably in many ways ...read more

    Belshazzar’s drunken feasting turned into sacrilege resulting in God’s judgement and Daniel courageously delivered God’s verdict to the doomed king.

    DANIEL 5 - BELSHAZZAR’S FEAST This chapter deals with Belshazzar’s feast and makes a striking contrast with the previous chapter which described Nebuchadnezzar’s conversion. Both kings heard the Word of God - and for them it was a final word - but what a difference in their response. The author ...read more

    The two cities symbolise diametrically opposed principles, Jerusalem represents the eternal while Babylon depicts the earthly having no abiding value.

    TWO CONTRASTING CITIES - BABYLON AND JERUSALM Books which outlive the generation in which they were written are called “classics”.
