    A Change In Time Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 13, 2025
     | 154 views

    History changed the day, but grace restores the meaning—calling us to worship the Creator who never changed His rest.

    Introduction – A Change No One Voted On Some of the biggest changes in history happen so quietly that we only notice their results. Languages drift, customs morph, recipes evolve, and one day we realize the original flavor has vanished. That is how the Sabbath changed. It was not a decision of ...read more

    The Soil Of The Heart Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Aug 30, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 753 views

    This sermon from Matthew 13 reminds us that while the Word of God and the Sower never change, the fruitfulness of our lives depends entirely on the condition of our hearts—whether they are hardened, shallow, crowded, or humble and receptive to the transforming truth of Christ.

    The Soil of the Heart Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 To hear and truly understand the words of our Creator is no simple task. This is the One who knit us together in our mother’s womb. Who recorded every moment of our lives before one of them came to be. Who holds together the seen and unseen, past, ...read more

    Happy Happy Joy Joy

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 15, 2025
     | 242 views

    True joy is not tied to circumstance but planted by the Spirit, anchored in Christ, and sustained by what is true, pure, lovely, and eternal.

    Introduction: A Cartoon Jingle Some of you may remember a wild cartoon from the 1990s that sang, “Happy Happy Joy Joy!” over and over again. It was silly, catchy, and fun—but it never told you what happiness or joy really are. In that way it’s a lot like the world we live in. We hum the tune of ...read more

    God's Favor

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 19, 2025
     | 131 views

    We are not saved by rule-keeping or self-rescue but by God’s grace—grace received by faith—which alone can break sin’s dominion and lead us home.

    Introduction Some of us feel far from God. Far from the person we wanted to be. Far from family. Far from our own true selves. And though we long to come home, we know that we cannot pave that road with our own effort. The Bible has a single word for the road back. That word is grace. Victor ...read more

    How In The World Can I Be Holy?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 24, 2025
     | 148 views

    Holiness grows as we surrender: Christ renews our thoughts, equips our lives, and tunes our praise, freeing us to truly live.

    Introduction: A wild duck lands in a Danish barnyard for an easy meal. He plans to stay an hour, then a day, then a summer. When autumn comes and wild wings thunder overhead, he tries to join them but can barely clear the barn eaves. By the next spring he scarcely looks up. That is a parable of ...read more

    Whose proposal have you signed and will you like where you will be delivered?

    There is an old song called, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” Part of it I am going to paraphrase. Here I am, Jesus, signed, sealed, delivered, I’m Yours. I’m Yours! It all starts with Jesus signing the proposal of salvation with His blood when we were the enemy. Rom 5:8  But God commendeth ...read more

    As I think back over my Christian walk, and the twenty years I have served in pastoral ministry, many have come and gone within the church. While some moved on to faithfully serve in other churches, others abandoned the church altogether.

    What kind of investment advice have you gotten lately? In Ephesians 5 we learn about what REAL investing is!

    There is a lot of talk lately about what is wise and unwise. We see this especially in relation to the financial world. With economic times being tough, it seems that there are “experts” popping up everywhere like weeds to tell us how to invest wisely. They tell us that we need to diversify our ...read more

    The New Deal Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 23, 2009
     | 4,247 views

    Regenerate believers since the time of Jesus – including most of us -- have begun to experience the New Covenant, the nation of Israel will experience the New Covenant in the future, and these realities need to be clarified and applied.

    The New Deal (Jeremiah 31:31-37) 1. Our country and our churches are not in the best of shape. It is easy to become negative or cynical, but we need to remember that things could be worse, much worse. 2. When God’s people are not taking Him seriously, it can be confusing. But the truth is that ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,145 views

    This message warns us not to depend on a list of rules, which only makes things worse, but to depend on the Lord, who alone can change us from the inside out as He lives His life through us.

    Freedom’s Power (Galatians 2:11-21) Several years ago, the Chicago Tribune, ran an article about the religious history of the Chicago area. It began with a paragraph about Zion, a small town north of the city: “Rev. John Alexander Dowie left little to chance a century ago, when the charismatic ...read more
