MARRIAGES THAT LAST Ephesians 5.21–33 Gordon Dabbs, PhD The biggest challenge in marriage is that two imperfect people show up expecting the other person to change. Scripture says the strongest marriages happen not when we focus on changing our spouse… but when we focus on surrendering ourselves. Ephesians 5.21-22, 25 (NLT) Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. For wives, this means s...

LOVE LIVES HERE Ephesians 5.1–6.4 Gordon Dabbs, PhD Love isn’t built in the big moments. It’s built in a thousand small ones. A healthy home isn’t built on rules, roles, and routines. It’s built on Christ-shaped love. We are introduced to 6 foundations of this kind of love in Ephesians 5 & 6: Foundation 1: Love Begins with God Ephesians 5.1-2 (NLT) Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, bec...

Why does life feel so busy… but still a little hollow? In this message from John 15, Jesus’ final “I AM” statement—“I am the vine; you are the branches”—speaks straight to one of our deepest needs: connection. We chase identity through success, schedules, and self-improvement, but Jesus says real life is found only when we stay connected to Him. In this sermon by Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, P...

I Am the Good Shepherd | John 10:1–18 Shepherds feel like an ancient image—until Jesus chooses that metaphor to explain who He is and how He loves us. In this message by Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph. D. from John 10, we explore why Jesus calls Himself the Good Shepherd, why sheep actually need one (yes, that includes us), and why His voice—not volume, fear, or self-reliance—is what truly le...

I AM THE DOOR John 10.1-12 Gordon Dabbs, PhD John 10.1-9 (ESV) “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out al...

LIGHT OF THE WORLD John 8.1-12 Gordon Dabbs, PhD Through the Gospel, Christ shows us who we are: full, free, unfettered. Jesus came to help us recover what was lost. To restore us to who we truly are—God’s beloved children. In John 8, Jesus makes this staggering declaration: “I am the light of the world.” John 8: Jesus teaches early one morning in the temple courts. Pharisees burst in, dragging a...

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 Jesu...

What happens when life puts pressure on your faith? Jesus says the difference isn’t the storm—it’s the foundation. In this message from Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph. D., we explore what it means to build a life that actually lasts. Through a very real (and slightly humiliating) story involving a flimsy chair, we’re reminded that collapse is rarely caused by a single moment—it reveals what w...

Mary: The Lord’s Servant | Luke 1:26–56 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 throug...
