Trusting Through Life’s Turns
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6, ESV) Life does not run in straight lines. It bends through seasons of sunshine and seasons of storm, and in every turn Solomon points us to the same place: the Lord Himself. Damon Morgan opened Proverbs 3:5-6 and called us to a trust that rests not in what we…
The Pride Slide
Big idea: Pride promises to lift you up, but it only sets you up for the fall. God lifts the humble. Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament, and its warning is aimed at a people who trusted in their height, their strength and their security. The weight of the message fell on verse 4: though pride soars like the eagle and nests among the stars, the LORD says, “From there I will bring you down.” Damon walked…
The Logical Life of a Believer
You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts Paul did not need a letter of recommendation for the Corinthians. The Corinthians were the letter, and the Spirit of the living God was writing it…
You’re a Piece of Work
The Greek word behind workmanship is where we get the word “poem.” We are the Potter’s handiwork, and the glory belongs to Him. In this message Damon Morgan walks through three truths from the passage: The work is His, and it is not finished. Let Him work on you.
Glorifying God in Your Grief
In Job 2:1-10, Satan returns to accuse Job before God a second time, and this time the affliction touches Job’s own body — painful sores from head to foot. Even his wife urges him to curse God and die. But Job’s answer cuts through the grief: “Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” Scripture tells us that in all this, Job did not sin with his lips. Damon Morgan walks through this…
Street Preaching
When believers carry Jesus beyond the building, miracles move into the open. That’s what happened at the temple gate called Beautiful, when Peter and John met a suffering man they weren’t looking for, carrying nothing but a name that was enough. The Suffering Man He was lame from birth, carried to the same gate every day to beg — so familiar a sight that the crowd walked past without seeing him. Peter and John did what no one else did:…
Standing on the Promises
“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” — Isaiah 43:19 We are not called to talk ourselves into hope. We are called to behold — to see and trust what God is already doing, confident that the same God who makes the promise will make the way, and provide everything we need to walk it. The Promise of…
The Calf in Our Conscience
While God was on the mountain revealing His glory and inscribing His law in stone, the people below grew tired of waiting on Him — and built a god they could see, touch, and dance around instead. That’s the real tragedy of the golden calf: not just disobedience, but a trade. The living God for a god of their own making. In this week’s message, The Calf in Our Conscience (Exodus 32:19–24), Damon Morgan holds up a spiritual mirror to…
A Few Faithful Followers
Judges 7:1–8 tells the story of Gideon’s army — 32,000 men whittled down to just 300 before God would let them face Midian. It wasn’t about having enough soldiers. It was about trusting the right source of strength. This week Damon Morgan showed us that a community who relies on and glorifies God will be victorious. God shrank Gideon’s army so that when the victory came, no one could say it was their own strength that won it. The size…
The Danger of Disunity
Judges 12:1–6 tells one of Scripture’s most sobering stories: the Ephraimites and Gileadites, both part of God’s own people, turned on each other over a grievance — and it ended in bloodshed at the fords of the Jordan. This week, Damon Morgan showed us how small differences can become deadly divisions when we are not humble. Pride turns disagreements into fights and fights into fractures. The Ephraimites and Gileadites shared a covenant, a history, and a God — and still…
