    Comfort is something that we all need from time to time. But where do you look for comfort> Is it to the living God who ave us his word to reassure us that he has all things in his hand and who sends us his Holy Spirit to strengthen and renew us?

    The Shepherd's Folly: When Leaders Cease To Seek

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 5, 2025
     | 119 views

    This sermon reveals how leaders at every level—in the pulpit, in the home, or of their own soul—become spiritually "brutish" and destined for failure the moment they stop seeking the Lord.

    From Despair To Hope

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 8, 2025
     | 163 views

    Funerals today are often called celebrations of life. While we grieve, we also celebrate the hope that is ours through Christ. As Paul reminds us, we do not “grieve as others who have no hope,” for Jesus’ death and resurrection assures us of eternal life.

    Funerals are some of the hardest moments of our lives. We come with tears, with memories, with aching hearts. Death feels final. We feel the empty chair at the table. We hear the silence where laughter once rang. We even catch the scent of a shirt still hanging in the closet, and it all reminds us ...read more
