    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

    How Much Pain Can A Heart Absorb Before It Goes Numb?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 10, 2026
     | 66 views

    Addresses how prolonged suffering leads to spiritual numbness, how biblical lament keeps faith honest, and how Christ answers pain not with distance, but with presence and costly, enduring love.

    There is a kind of pain that makes us cry. And then there is another kind of pain—quieter, heavier—that eventually makes us stop. We live in a world where suffering is no longer rare. It is constant. It streams. It scrolls. It updates every few minutes. War. Displacement. Hunger. Violence. ...read more

    Lord Of The Storm

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 11, 2023
     | 4,317 views

    Everyone experiences storms in life. Storms are miserable. They are dangerous. But Jesus wants us to be calm in them. And they provide almost unique opportunities to learn to trust Jesus.

    The story of Jesus and his disciples in a storm on the Sea of Galilee is short. But it has a huge amount to teach us. I’d like to show you a little video clip of an actual storm on Lake Galilee so you can get an idea of what that storm might have been like. [Video clip.] Jesus and his disciples ...read more

    A Day In His Presence

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025
     | 122 views

    Better a single day near God than a thousand apart; the humble heart at His door already walks in eternal joy.

    There are passages in Scripture that seem to sing even when you read them silently. Psalm 84 is one of those sacred songs. It isn’t just poetry — it’s testimony. It’s the song of a traveler whose feet are dusty, whose heart is homesick for God, whose eyes are fixed on the courts of the Lord. > ...read more

    A sermon illustrating the walk of faith, not just for Abram but for every Christian. A sermon where a founding pastor must also say "Good-bye" to his congregatioin.

They are the same man, but he was only known as Abram until he was called to do something special by God - when he was 75 years old! Not long after that, God changed his name to Abraham, which has a specific meaning. ...read more

    Are your eyes open?

    Seeing The Unseen A lot of skeptics laugh at Christians because they say that we have blind faith. We cannot see God and yet we believe in Him.
