Incompatible Identity And Actions Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jul 1, 2024

In Jesus our identity is to that we are children, fathers, or young men. This identity means that we are incompatible with the world, therefore we cannot love the world.

Hope Out Of Darkness

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

At Cadillac Mountain, dawn hits that ridge before the rest of the country. Isaiah 9 speaks to a people in predawn darkness and promises a light that breaks in. Advent says that light has a name, Jesus, and His coming turns yokes into freedom, fear into joy, and night into morning.

You know, I recently had the chance to take a trip to Acadia National Park in Maine. And there's this place there, Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park - where you can be the first person in America to see the sunrise. Imagine that. Wouldn’t that be cool to be able to say that you were one ...read more

Two Comforting Visions (Zechariah 1:7-21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 21, 2026

There is a type of world peace which God finds profoundly inadequate-- a type where God's people don't participate in its prosperity, and where the wicked have gone unpunished. The 2 visions tag-team, to address this.

Today, we enter into week 2 of our Zechariah study. Last week's verses were kind of an intro to the book, and my guess is that that prophetic word felt "normal." Many of you have heard my earlier series on Haggai, Nahum, and Zephaniah, and Zechariah starts off sounding a lot like ...read more
