Sermon Summary: Pastor Dale Tunnell’s sermon centers on the dramatic confrontation between Elijah and King Ahab in 1 Kings 18. After three and a half years of drought and famine, Ahab accuses Elijah of being the “troubler of Israel.” Elijah refuses to accept the accusation and boldly tells the king that the real problem is Ahab and his family, because they have forsaken God’s commandments and followed Baal. Elijah’s courage becomes an important theme of the sermon: he stands before Ahab “unashamed and unterrified,” more concerned with defending the character and truth of God than with whether
Sermon Summary: Pastor Dale Tunnell’s sermon explores the experience of feeling “forgotten or abandoned”, using Elijah’s time at the Brook Cherith in 1 Kings 17 as its central story. After Elijah courageously confronted King Ahab and announced that there would be no rain, God unexpectedly told him to withdraw into isolation at the brook, where ravens supplied his food. Eventually, however, the brook dried up. Pastor Tunnell compares this experience to those moments in our own lives when something God seemed to provide—a job, relationship, opportunity, or source of security—suddenly disappears.
Sermon Summary: The sermon focuses on the promise of Jesus’ second coming and the importance of being spiritually awake and ready for His return. Using the memorable illustration of a woman who asked to be buried holding a fork—because “the best is yet to come”—the message reminds believers that death, sorrow, and pain will not have the final word. The sermon encourages Christians to develop a close, personal relationship with Jesus through daily Bible study, prayer, worship, and fellowship. It also challenges believers not merely to know about Jesus, but to share what He has done in their liv
Sermon Summary: The speaker will be discussing the prophet Elijah for the next several weeks. Elijah was a great prophet, but his time was a time of great wickedness. Israel had three good kings, Saul, David, and Solomon. Solomon's reign was a time of great prosperity, but after Solomon, Israel went to war and became a divided kingdom, with Israel in the north and Judah in the south. The speaker talked about the 19 kings of Israel, 17 of which were bad, and 2 were good. Jeroboam, the first king of Israel, did evil and made Israel sin. The speaker talked about the 10 kings of Israel, 9 of which

Sermon Summary: The sermon centered on the Biblical command to “encourage one another” and emphasized that encouragement is essential for a healthy church community. Using Memorial Day reflections and the story of a soldier honoring fallen comrades, Pastor Dale illustrated how even simple acts of respect and encouragement can profoundly impact others. He stressed that many people leave churches not because they lose faith in God or disagree with doctrine, but because of negative interactions and a lack of loving support from fellow believers. Christians are called to intentionally build one an
Sermon Summary: This sermon focused on the Biblical theme of “one anothering,” specifically the call to practice kindness as a foundational Christian trait. Using Holy Bible Ephesians 4:32 — “Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you” — the speaker challenged listeners to think honestly about whether they are truly kind people, rather than simply assuming they are. The message emphasized that kindness is more than occasional good behavior; it is a deliberate way of living that reflects Christ. Christians may practice many religious habits,
Sermon Summary: This sermon continues the church’s “One Anothering” series by focusing on the Biblical call to “Honor one another above yourselves” from Romans 12:10. Moving beyond the common idea of honor as simply praise, awards, or special recognition, the message explains that Biblical honor is a lifestyle—an intentional way of valuing and uplifting others. Through Scripture and real-life examples, the sermon challenges believers to place the interests and well-being of others above personal pride and self-interest. The message explores how Jesus modeled true honor through His own life and
Sermon Summary: This sermon focuses on the Biblical idea of “one anothering,” emphasizing how Christians are called to relate to each other in loving, supportive ways. Drawing from passages like Galatians 5, the speaker contrasts the sinful nature—marked by jealousy, conflict, and division—with the fruit of the Spirit, which produces love, kindness, patience, and unity. The New Testament repeatedly commands believers to care for, encourage, serve, and uplift one another, showing that these are not optional behaviors but essential to a healthy Christian community. The sermon also stresses that
Sermon Summary: The sermon emphasizes peace, using John 20 as a starting point to contrast the disciples’ fear with Jesus’ peace. It encourages practicing Jesus’ presence through meditation and prayer. The speaker highlights the significance of Jesus’ resurrection and the need to understand and share this doctrine, especially for Seventh-day Adventists. They discuss Jesus’ teachings, the importance of faith, and the role of the Holy Spirit in witnessing. The sermon calls for believers to overcome fears, trust in God’s Word, and fulfill their mission with the Holy Spirit’s guidance. --- Welcome
Sermon Summary: A renowned theologian, reflecting on his life, shares his journey to faith. Despite a religious upbringing, he didn’t truly know Jesus until a near-death experience led him to seek God. After attending various churches, he found a God-fearing church where the Bible was explained, ultimately leading him to faith. The narrator recounts his high school romance with Chris, a girl he pursued despite her initial rejections. They eventually dated, maintained a long-distance relationship through college, and Chris excelled as a cheerleader, even being voted the most outstanding cheerle
Sermon Summary: The sermon from February 28, 2026, discusses the theme of losing peace and emphasizes that maintaining inner peace is ultimately in our control. It asserts that no one can take away your peace unless you allow it. The sermon identifies seven categories of thoughts that can steal this peace, including sinful thoughts, negative self-perceptions, erroneous beliefs about God's love, unrealistic expectations, rebellious attitudes, obsessive fixations, and enslaved habits. Each of these can create turmoil and disrupt emotional and spiritual well-being. To regain and maintain peace, t
Sermon Summary: The pastor shares a story about a woman who attended a depression recovery seminar at an Adventist church. Despite having no Christian background, she was drawn to the church’s loving atmosphere and decided to become a Seventh-day Adventist. The pastor emphasizes the importance of using spiritual gifts with love, citing Ephesians 4:15-16 and 1 Corinthians 12:26, which highlight the interconnectedness of the church body and the need for love in spiritual growth. 1 Corinthians 13, the “love chapter,” is often used in weddings and marriage counseling but is actually placed in the
