Genesis 28:10-22
As Jacob, the son of Isaac, was traveling alone from Beersheba to Haran, God gave him a vision during the night. Through an image of angels going up and down a staircase reaching to heaven, God revealed the good work He would do in that barren land through Jacob and his descendants. God often uses us to do His work in strange places , as well.

Aug 4, 2024Motivational ForcesBy: Phil PeacockSeries: (All)2 Corinthians 4:1-18 Even the most dedicated Christians can go through times of discouragement as they do their best to serve the Lord on a daily basis. The best laid plans sometimes fail, and ministries bathed in prayer can face stiff opposition. Staying the course can be difficult, but the Apostle Paul shares insights about the motivational forces that can help us not lose heart while doing good.
- Feel good about who you are. Nurture your Christ-like character.
- Feel good about what you are doing. Know that your ministry matters.
- Feel good about why you are doing it. Let the love of Christ compel you.
- Feel good about how you are doing it. Do God’s work God’s way.
- Know that God is in control. His purposes are right and His plans cannot be derailed. Live today in light of eternity.

Jun 9, 2024Too Good a Secret to KeepBy: Phil PeacockSeries: (All)Mark 1:40-45 It doesn’t seem unusual that Jesus healed a man with leprosy. What’s surprising to us is his instruction to the man following the miracle. He told him not to tell anyone! Jesus certainly had his reasons for such an unusual command, but for the newly healed fellow it was too good a secret to keep. Why did he immediately share the news with others?
- The secret involved a change too obvious.
- The secret involved a change too important.
- The secret involved a change too amazing!

May 19, 2024Three Cheers!By: Phil PeacockSeries: (All)“The Three Cheers of Jesus” Many people live their lives full of despair and hopelessness. They are missing out on the joy of the Lord. This is probably true for most of us at some time or another. But Jesus provides what we need to live life abundantly. This morning, let’s consider three times when Jesus told people to “Be of good cheer!”
- The Cheer of Christ’s Forgiveness (Matthew 9:1-8)
- The Cheer of Christ’s Presence (Mark 6:47-51)
- The Cheer of Christ’s Victory (John 16:33)

May 12, 2024Abigail: A Portrait of WisdomBy: Phil PeacockSeries: (All)1 Samuel 25 On this Mother’s Day, we take a look at a woman whose extraordinary courage and wisdom benefitted two very important, but hot-headed, men—her husband Nabal and the soon-to-be king of Israel, David. Wisdom means keeping your head when others are losing theirs. Wisdom means keeping your commitments even when it’s not easy. Wisdom means keeping your faith even when things look hopeless.

Mar 31, 2024Discovering Easter While Behind Locked DoorsBy: Phil PeacockSeries: (All)John 20:19-22 On Resurrection Sunday morning, angels rolled back the stone from the door of Jesus’ tomb to reveal that it was empty! They shared with the faithful women that He was alive, and Jesus proved it by appearing to Mary Magdalene and others during the day. But in the evening, most of Jesus’ disciples were still so afraid of the Jewish authorities that they gathered together behind locked doors. Jesus appeared in their midst and gave to them peace, joy, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
- The living Lord comes to those who are locked behind doors of fear.
- The living Lord comes to those who are locked behind doors of sorrow.
- The living Lord comes to those who are locked behind doors of doubt.
