A Community Set Apart
Unity sounds wonderful—until actual people are involved. In a world that constantly sorts, labels, and divides us, Psalm 133 offers a beautiful vision: God’s people living together in harmony. But Christian unity does not mean uniformity. It means different people, with different backgrounds, preferences, personalities, and convictions, learning to belong to one another because Jesus has made us one. In this message, P:reaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., explores what it means for the church to become “A Community Set Apart”—a…
When it Gets Personal
When It Gets Personal | Psalm 73 Why do dishonest people seem to prosper while those who try to honor God struggle? Psalm 73 gives voice to one of the most personal battles of the human heart: envy. In this message from Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we discover that the deepest problem isn’t just the brokenness around us—it’s the disorder within us. Asaph’s honest confession leads us from comparison and resentment to worship and renewed perspective. If you’ve ever…
What Holds When the World Shakes
What holds when the world shakes? We live in a world of constant outrage, uncertainty, and anxiety. News cycles never stop. Social media fuels fear. Politics divide. Financial markets fluctuate. Relationships disappoint. When everything around us feels unstable, where can we find something that truly holds? In this message from Psalm 2, Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., explores one of the most important questions of our time: What holds when the world shakes? Rather than calling us to panic or…
Why the World Is Angry
Why does the world seem so angry—and why is it so easy for that anger to get inside us? In this opening message from our new series, Psalms for a Fractured World: Following God in an Age of Rage, Gordon Dabbs explores Psalm 2 and its surprising diagnosis of human anger. Beneath much of our outrage are deeper struggles with control, fear, and resistance to God’s rule. The good news is that God is not anxious, threatened, or overwhelmed. He…
When No One Is Watching
What kind of person are you when no one is watching? In this message from Proverbs 10:9, Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., explores the quiet power of integrity, diligence, and faithfulness. Character is not built in one dramatic moment. It is formed through thousands of ordinary choices: keeping your word, doing honest work, admitting when you are wrong, and showing up even when no one is there to applaud. Through humor, practical wisdom, and the unforgettable story of a young…
Circle of Trust
Have you ever noticed how you start sounding like the people you spend the most time with? The truth is, nobody becomes wise alone. In this message on Proverbs 13:20 from Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we explore one of the most overlooked influences on our spiritual lives: our closest relationships. Your friends don’t just affect what you do—they shape who you become. In this sermon you’ll discover: • Why wisdom is caught as much as it’s taught • How…
Work on Your Words
In this message from our Street Smarts series, Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., reminds us that words are never “just words.” Proverbs 18:21 says, “The tongue can bring death or life,” and every day our words are shaping our relationships, our homes, our church, and even our own hearts. Words can wound or heal. They can tear down or build up. They can push people away or point them toward Jesus. In a world filled with noise, opinions, arguments, texts,…
Being My Own GPS
What happens when you’re convinced you know the way… but you’re headed in the wrong direction? In Week 2 of our Street Smarts series, we explore one of the most beloved passages in Proverbs: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…” (Proverbs 3:5-6) The biggest decisions in life aren’t simply navigation problems—they’re trust problems. We all want God’s guidance, but often on our terms. We want clarity without surrender, direction without dependence,…
Read the Signs
Read the Signs | Street Smarts, Part 1 We live in a world overflowing with information, opinions, hot takes, notifications, and noise. But more information doesn’t automatically lead to more wisdom. In this first message from our Street Smarts series, Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., opens up the book of Proverbs and reveals that wisdom begins not with intelligence, experience, or self-confidence—but with a reverent relationship with God. Together we’ll explore three warning signs that can lead us away from…
Eyes Up
This Sunday, our entire church family will gather together for one special combined service centered on one life-changing truth: Jesus Christ is Lord. In a world consumed by outrage, politics, headlines, and endless noise, this message from Gordon based on 1 Corinthians 2:2 calls us to lift our eyes above the chaos and refocus on Christ crucified, risen, and reigning. Come worship with us as we remember what matters most.
No Other Name
What is the church really about? In a world full of noise, opinions, politics, personalities, and distractions, the early church had one unmistakable center: Jesus. In this message from Acts 2–4, Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., explores the power, hope, and exclusivity of the name of Jesus—the name that healed the broken, challenged the powerful, transformed ordinary people, and still changes lives today. This sermon walks through: • The healing at the Beautiful Gate • Peter’s bold proclamation before the…
Church on Fire: Life Together (Acts 2:42-47)
In Acts 2, the early church experienced power, miracles, growth, and transformation—but the Holy Spirit didn’t just create passionate individuals. He created a people. A shared life. A community devoted to truth, prayer, generosity, and fellowship. In this message from Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D. based on Acts 2:42–47, we explore what it really means to live life together—and why it’s possible to attend church regularly while still missing God’s bigger agenda. 🔥 Spirit-filled churches are not built on hype.…
