    Contributed by Duane Wente on Apr 25, 2025
     | 735 views

    Faith that sits still is not the faith Christ calls us. Transformative faith changes how we react to the world around us. True faith wakes us up, renews our minds, and shines as a light for others to see Christ in us.

    On New Year’s Day more than a billion people were looking to a light that was falling instead of rising and nearly all of these people were Gentiles who were looking in the wrong place for their hope and their joy.

    Contributed by Kent Kessler on May 30, 2025
     | 342 views

    But we need to hear the REAL Jesus speaking today telling us to WAKE UP to the lies, and get out of the heated water, get OUT of the culture–you are in the world but not OF the world. Not everyone will be let in! We must find our voice to speak up after we WAKE UP!

    This is a sermon about “The Goat and The Frog & The Colon.” When I was growing up, my uncle would drive the stock truck by our house to pick me up and take me along with him to Lugbill’s Farm Auction in Archbold, Ohio.
