First Things First (Haggai) Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jul 3, 2025

When fantasy crashes into reality, put your priorities in order, put the past behind, put your sins away, and put your sites on the Lord.

In a Christina Parenting Magazine, Jill Brett, describes the difference between fantasy and reality when it comes to parenting preschoolers. The Fantasy: As your little ones sit quietly at the kitchen table and hum along with Beethoven, they absorb their age-appropriate encyclopedias. Meanwhile, ...read more

It's Never A Fair Fight

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 6, 2025

God has already secured your victory; every battle is tilted in your favor because Christ fights for you and lives within you.

There is a strange honesty in the way life feels. No matter who you are, or where you’ve been, there comes a moment when you look at the landscape of your existence and whisper something with a sinking heart: “In the struggle of life, nothing is favored for my success or well-being.” That’s how ...read more

Return To A Listening Heart

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 22, 2025

A pastor’s burden exposes spiritual deafness in the church and calls believers and leaders alike to listen, repent, realign, and return to Christ.

There are moments in ministry when the burden becomes heavier than the words. Moments when you stand before God with His people on your heart and realize that what troubles you most is not persecution from the outside, but resistance on the inside. God spoke through Jeremiah to a people who were ...read more

I'm Learning To Lean

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 24, 2025

Intelligence is a gift, but it was never meant to carry the weight of the soul. Jesus invites thoughtful people to stop standing alone and abide.

The Honest Starting Point Thoughtful people do not arrive at faith lightly. They arrive carrying questions, experiences, and scars earned through paying attention. Discernment was not learned in a classroom alone; it was learned in rooms where trust failed, promises collapsed, and someone had to ...read more

Corporate Worship Is The Best Worship (Psalm 42:1-11) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 27, 2025

There's something special about worshipping God together. My starting point was wanting to study "deep calls to deep." Written during the covid insanity, when Christians were scared of, or banned from, public worship.

One of my kids asked me this week what it means, when "deep calls to deep." I told her, "I have no idea." But I promised her I'd study that next. And after using google, I found out that what we are going to work through this week, apparently, is Psalm 42. Let's ...read more

The Courage To Stay

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 28, 2025

Encouragement sustains faith through presence, patience, and shared courage, enabling people to grow, recover, and remain faithful together.

I need to start today by saying something I don’t say often enough. This is a good church. Not flashy. Not perfect. Not loud. But good in ways that don’t show up on a website. (pause) And the reason I say that is simple. You stay. You stay when nothing dramatic is happening. You stay when the ...read more

Blood Bought, Battle Fought PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 29, 2025

Christ’s priceless sacrifice secures our salvation, transforms our identity, and empowers us to live free from sin and shame through His unchanging grace.

Some of you limped into this room today under the weight of the week. Bills barking. Calendars crowded. Regrets replaying. You smiled at the door, but your soul is sighing inside. You wonder, Am I still seen? Still loved? Still secure? Friend, you couldn’t have walked into a better word for a weary ...read more

The Powerful Faith Of The Centurion PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 23, 2025

Trusting Jesus’ word brings healing and hope; faith in His authority, not our worthiness or understanding, invites His miraculous power into our lives.

Friends, perhaps you walked in today with a knot in your stomach and a prayer under your breath. Maybe the doctor’s words still echo. Maybe the bill is bigger than your paycheck. Maybe the bedroom is quiet and the tears come louder at night. What if the miracle you need is as close as a word from ...read more

Contributed by Paul Fritz on May 20, 2003

Lazarus: A Dead Man Who Becomes A Picture Of Life

Contributed by Todd Wagner on May 1, 2013

Lazarus is a picture of us as believers in Christ.

You guys have heard me say many times the reason we love to gather in here is because it allows us to remember the greatness of the God we want to serve all week long and how what we're doing right now is a corporate celebration, a corporate encouragement and exhortation, but worship is what we do ...read more

Too Busy Not To Pray

Contributed by Shaun Smith on Jul 29, 2003

Amidst the busyness of secular and Christian life, God is calling us to be still and know that He is God.

***It should be noted that parts of this sermon have come from the fantastic resource Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire by Jim Cymbala.*** My prayer for today is that we would all be challenged. Not that we would come to church expecting to leave feeling warm and fuzzy. But that, at the end of our time ...read more
