    In this account, Eutychus attended church in order to worship God, but he wound up dying right there in the preaching service! Do you think that you could trust God, or His Son, Jesus Christ, in a situation like this? Paul did!

    At my first pastorate, during the middle of a funeral service, the floor to the sanctuary gave a loud pop like lightning striking, and then it fell about six to eight inches! The floor later had to be completely replaced. At another church where I pastored, the ceiling fell in; and of course, the ...read more

    The Fortress In The Storm

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Nov 8, 2025
     | 345 views

    Even when the earth shakes and storms bring devastation, God's sovereignty is not found in preventing the tragedy, but in being our unshakeable, present refuge within it.

    My friends, we come together today with heavy hearts. Our eyes have seen the images, our ears have heard the reports. We think of our brothers and sisters in the Philippines, in places like Cebu, who in the span of just a few short months have felt the very earth give way beneath them—first with a ...read more

    In the wake of the terrorist attacks, how should Christians respond and what does the Bible say about tragedy?

    This has been a week that our church and our country will never forget. We had Roger Peterson’s funeral here on Tuesday, the same day that our world was rocked by reports of terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. Preaching involves at least two responsibilities. The first is to ...read more

     | 7,755 views

    As we see the destruction of another hurricane season and other catastrophic events our hearts are sensitized to the great need around the world. Can we find a comparison in the "storms" of our own personal lives?

    (This is more of a mini-sermon with "thought" that will need to be fleshed out in your own words. I hope that it is not too muddled for you to follow. May the Lord fill you with grace and peace today! PTL!!) Please open your Bibles to Matthew 8:18-27 which we will read in a few minutes. There ...read more

    Jesus can act as Messiah when He is approached by humans who admit their blindness, weakness and sin; so we must admit decades of blindness in our human development policies.

    November 16, 2009 Caritas in Veritate “Deeds without knowledge are blind, and knowledge without love is sterile.” As Luke portrays Jesus making his pilgrimage to the Holy City whose inhabitants will murder him, He finally responds to one who is publicly calling him The Messiah–Son of David.
