I AM: Light of the World
What happens when light meets shame? In this message by Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., from John 8, Jesus steps into a moment of public accusation, quiet desperation, and religious hypocrisy—and declares, “I am the light of the world.” If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost your way, lost your voice, or lost a sense of who you really are, this message is for you. Light doesn’t wait at the finish line—it meets us at the starting line. 👉 Watch…
Bread of Life
In a world obsessed with what’s next—new technology, new trends, new answers—it’s easy to feel worn out and spiritually hungry. But what if the most important question isn’t what will change, but what will never change? In John 6, Jesus makes the first of His great “I Am” statements: “I am the Bread of Life.” Not bread to give—but bread to be. In this sermon, we explore why the crowd followed Jesus, why many eventually walked away, and what it…
Strong Foundation
At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew 7, Jesus talks about two builders. Two houses: one house stood… the other collapsed. Matthew 7.24 (ESV) Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. A life built on Jesus and the words of Jesus is built to last. A life can look strong and still be fragile. Successful and still be hollow.…
Mary: The Lord’s Servant
Christmas is not primarily about how we find God—it’s about how God finds us. In this Advent message by Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we step into the story of Mary, a young woman from an unremarkable town who became part of the greatest story ever told. Through humor, Scripture, and thoughtful reflection, this sermon explores how God works through ordinary lives, unlikely circumstances, and simple obedience. Mary didn’t have impressive credentials—but she had a willing heart. And when she…
Anna – No Expiration Date on Faith
What do you do when waiting becomes a way of life? In this Advent message from Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we meet Anna—an elderly widow whose quiet, faithful devotion placed her at the exact moment God revealed the Messiah. After decades of waiting, praying, and worshiping, Anna shows us that faith doesn’t retire, hope doesn’t expire, and God is still at work in the hidden seasons of life. This sermon explores: If you’ve ever felt overlooked, worn down by…

Hope for the Journey
In this encouraging and heartfelt message from Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we’re reminded that our lives are headed somewhere — and it’s a glorious destination. Drawing from Paul’s words to the Thessalonian church, this sermon explores how Christians can live with hope, readiness, and confidence while we await the return of Jesus. We grieve, but not without hope. We watch, but we don’t panic. And we prepare, not with charts and timelines, but with faith, love, obedience, and encouragement…
Ready and Waiting
We enjoy all kinds of things in life without fully understanding them — a gourmet meal, a symphony, a 200-ton airplane somehow staying in the sky. And honestly? The Second Coming of Jesus works a lot like that. We don’t have every detail, every timeline, or every chart… but we do have the promises that matter. In this message from Luke 12:35–38, Gordon Dabbs explores why Christians can live with confidence, joy, and anticipation even when end-times debates get confusing.…
Ready or Not
When Jesus returns, will you be ready—or scrambling to get your spiritual life in order? In this message, Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., continues the Coming Soon series with a powerful look at Matthew 25:1–13, the parable of the ten bridesmaids. Jesus’ story reminds us that His return will be sudden, surprising, and glorious—and that preparation isn’t about fear or perfection, but faith, joy, and readiness. From a crazy wedding story to lessons about “borrowed oil” and cell-phone batteries, Gordon…
He’s Coming Back
From the first sunrise in Eden to the promise of a new creation, God’s story has always been moving toward one final chapter — the return of Jesus Christ. In this message, Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., walks through the grand story of redemption — from creation, to the cross, to the second coming — reminding us that every sunrise, every heartbeat, and every act of faith brings us one day closer to the moment when the King comes again.…
