    When Religion Collides With Revelation

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 8, 2025
     | 232 views

    Cain and Abel reveal two spiritual systems: self-made religion or grace-filled revelation. God accepts only the worship shaped by surrender to His revealed way.

    Some of the most defining moments in Scripture arrive without fanfare. No thunder. No angels. No miracles that split seas or shake mountains. Just a simple scene, described with almost startling brevity, that quietly reveals the inner architecture of the human heart. The story of Cain and Abel in ...read more

    Before You Say Amen

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 22, 2025
     | 190 views

    Prayer becomes heavy when it turns into performance. Jesus calls us back to honest, relational prayer—where pretending ends and real communion with God begins.

    There are few subjects in the church that create more confusion—and more quiet frustration—than prayer. Not because people don’t believe in it. Most Christians believe deeply in prayer. They would defend it without hesitation. They know it matters. They know it’s essential. They know it’s supposed ...read more

    Have you ever thought about what it would be like to see and talk to the President of the United States? This would be a great honor but could prove to be a very difficult assignment, if not impossible!’

    • You would have to first get through some of the tightest security in the U.S. • Even if you did get past them you would have to get past a professional staff that is trained to keep people like you and I from invading the White House • If you made it to the White House you would have to ...read more

    He Calls You By Name

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 30, 2025
     | 233 views

    John’s resurrection account reveals a quiet but profound truth: belonging comes before understanding. This message invites weary believers to release the pressure to prove their faith and rediscover a resurrection life rooted in being known, named, and kept—while still on the road.

    Introduction John tells us that Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. That detail matters. Not because it is poetic, but because it is honest. This is not the hour of confidence or clarity. This is the hour when grief wakes before reason does. The hour when the body ...read more

    The Power Of Unity In The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Feb 15, 2026
     | 124 views

    Maintaining unity in the Holy Spirit is essential to a healthy church; however, it is also challenging, due to human sinfulness, the pressures of the world, and the opposition of Satan. Here is how we can draw on the Holy Spirit’s power to love, forgive, and bear with one another in Christ.

    Today our topic is the Power of the Holy Spirit. We begin with the book of Acts, chapter one, verses 4-9. This is forty days after Christ’s resurrection. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, ...read more

    Jesus sees and loves His church, calls us to repent from compromise, and urges us to hold fast to Him with hope and faithfulness.

    Friends, gather your hearts. The Lord of the church has written us a letter. Not a postcard from far away, but a message pressed with nail-scarred love, addressed to people He knows by name. He sees the late-night prayers and the early-morning faithfulness. He hears the sighs nobody else hears. And ...read more

    Sin will take you further than you want to go; keep you longer than you want to stay; and cost you more than you want to pay.
