    Festering Pharoah Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025
     | 210 views

    God turns up the heat on pride, not to destroy but to heal—transforming our ashes into grace and our wounds into worship.

    Egypt thought it had already seen the worst of it. The rivers had bled, the frogs had croaked, the flies had swarmed. But pride is hard of hearing. Pharaoh still stood tall, still folded his arms, still told God, “Not today.” So God turned up the heat. No thunder this time. No frogs hopping down ...read more

    Hail To The King Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025
     | 155 views

    When heaven thunders and earth falls silent, every false throne collapses — and only the true King stands, reigning in mercy and power.

    When Heaven Starts Throwing Stones The morning sky looked ordinary—blue stretched thin above the Nile, windless, calm. Then the first crack of thunder rolled across the horizon like a war drum. No one in Egypt had ever heard thunder like that. Moses stood before Pharaoh one last time. The man who ...read more

    Dying To Know

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 63 views

    Death is not the end; when Christ’s trumpet sounds, God’s love and power will open every grave and restore life.

    A passerby, unwilling to let the rhyme have the last word, pulled out a black marker and added: > To follow you, I’m not content, until I know just where you went. That small dialogue between chisel and marker captures the universal question. Everyone who has ever wandered through a graveyard ...read more

    When Your Soul Talks Back

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 76 views

    When your soul talks back with despair, answer it with Spirit-filled faith — stir up the gift and praise your God again.

    There are moments in life when faith feels like it’s lost its soundtrack. You still know the words, you still come to church, you still bow your head for prayer — but inside, something has gone quiet. You’re mouthing the lines of faith, yet your soul isn’t singing along. That’s what Psalm 42 feels ...read more

     | 2,124 views

    God invited Moses to a campfire (a burning bush), but there was more in that meeting between God and Moses than you'd think.

    (The only lights in the sanctuary were those on stage, an there was a graphic of a burning campfire flickering on the screens) This morning we’re going to be worshipping around a campfire - and since the Elders wouldn’t let me burn an actual fire on stage, you’ll just have to put up with this ...read more

    The Lord Our Banner

     | 233 views

    Battles are fought under a flag as their banner. The Lord is our banner, leading us forward in this life

    What’s so special about a flag? It’s much more than a cloth hanging from a pole. It can represent national pride and patriotism. It’s design symbolizes the special qualities of a people. It usually precedes soldiers going into battle, reminding them why they’re going into combat, and during that ...read more

    Sermon # 47 - The Chosen Few Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 246 views

    Though a majority followed Jesus, there were only a chosen few who in total obedience fulfilled the Great Commission. All through the bible God worked mighty wonders through a few faithful men and women. The question is, “Are we part of God’s chosen few?”

    For our meditation today we will look at Luke 14:25, “Now a great number of people went with him.” (BBE) There was a multitude of people who followed Jesus while He was here on earth. Though these people were from various vocations, they set them aside, to follow Jesus as He travelled and preached ...read more

    After a man visited the Holy land, he described his experience. He was turned off by the commercialism. Years later he took a second trip to the Holy Land, and he looked past the commercialism to focus on the places of Bible history. He was thinking more about being in the places Jesus walked. ...read more

     | 1,954 views

    Jesus Christ is central in our faith. The Old Testament looks forward to Jesus Christ. It has an attitude of anticipation. In the New Testament the really big claim is for the supreme authority of Jesus Christ.

    When I was in college one of my courses included outdoor repelling down a sheer cliff. This is not what you normally do in college. We were not reading about repelling and answering questions, we were out on rocks. The first lesson to repelling is check the ropes. Do not take for granted that ...read more

    Anger Is A Threat To Self-Control

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 2, 2022
     | 1,512 views

    Anger is dangerous is because it can hinder the fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22 -23) if it is left unchecked. Paul warns us not to let the sun go down our anger in Ephesians 4:26.
