    It's In Your Language

    Contributed by Katherine Gilstrap on Sep 30, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 325 views

    The greatest weapon we have in our fight against the enemy is to maintain an honest heart before God & speak a language that confuses the enemy while we wait to receive & recover all that God has promised us.

    Sermon # 12 - What Is Our Identity? Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 26, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 627 views

    When Jonah revealed his true identity, the other seafarers must have been astounded. We as a church are called to let the world know that the God we believe and worship is the true and living God, creator of heaven and earth and let’s not miss the opportunity to do so.

    We read in Jonah 1:8, Then the men said to Jonah, "It is your fault that this terrible thing is happening to us. Tell us, what have you done? What is your job? Where do you come from? What is your country? Who are your people?" (ERV) The word of God came to Jonah to go to Nineveh, but ...read more

    Sermon # 11 - Chosen For A Purpose Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 25, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 983 views

    The life of Jonah teaches us that there is nothing we do is hidden from God. Also, we learn that as a church we must be certain of our identity and our purpose so we can glorify God through all we are and all we do.

    We read in Jonah 1:7-8, Then the men said to each other, "We should throw lots to find out why this is happening to us." So the men threw lots. The lots showed that the troubles came to them because of Jonah. Then the men said to Jonah, "It is your fault that this terrible thing is ...read more

    Sermon # 10 - United To Fulfill God's Will Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 20, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 542 views

    God’s call to the church today is that we be united just like the early church so we can experience the powerful working of the Holy Spirit of God. Our prayer to God must be that those who hinder this unity be removed and that we fulfill God’s will in our lives.

    We read in Jonah 1:7, Then the men said to each other, "We should throw lots to find out why this is happening to us." So the men threw lots. The lots showed that the troubles came to them because of Jonah. (ERV) As we continue this series of studies on the life of Jonah and the church, ...read more

    Sermon # 9 - Arise From Your Slumber Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 18, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,292 views

    Just as Jonah slept through the raging storm there were others in the Bible who also slept for various reasons. Today if the church does not wake up and continues to be in slumber of any sort, we will become easy targets of the evil one.

    We read in Jonah 1:5-6, And the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it unto them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. So the shipmaster came to ...read more

    Obey God Rather Than Man

     | 458 views

    Be subject to authorities but obey God rather than man where there is a conflict.

    Who are you, whom do you serve? I pray you are a Christian, a Christ follower, and a Child of God. Who do you say you are? Children of God obey the laws of this earthly world AND the law that established all earthly rules, God’s Law. Humans are subject to appointed and divine powers. Man is ...read more

    Sermon # 8 - Time To Wake Up Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 13, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,045 views

    In the midst of a serious storm, Jonah was blissfully asleep unaware of the predicament of his fellow passengers caused by his disobedience. Is it possible that the church too is asleep at a time when we have to wake up to fulfill the Great Commission that Jesus gave us?

    We read in Jonah 1:5, “And the mariners were afraid, and cried every one unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah had gone down into the lower part of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.” (Darby) This is the ...read more

    Sermon # 7 - Throw-Off, Rebuild, Unite Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 11, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 783 views

    The call of God to the church today is to cast off everything that hinders us from reaching our destination, to rebuild the broken altars, and to work towards the unity of the body of Christ. The coming of the Lord is near and the church must be ready to receive the bridegroom.

    We read in Jonah 1:5, Then the mariners were afraid, and each cried out to his god. And they hurled the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. (ESV) As we continue our study on the life of Jonah and the church, I believe that God is declaring His word to the church of ...read more

    Playing Favorites Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 9, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 726 views

    Main Idea: Favoritism goes against God's heart for His creation. We are challenged to see people as God sees them and to live out our faith through acts of love and service, especially towards those society often overlooks.

    Hey guys, today we're going to talk about something we all see around us - favoritism. You know, when someone gets special treatment because of how they look, what they wear, or who they know. It's not cool, right? Well, guess what? God thinks so too. Let's dive into James 2:1-17. James, who was ...read more

    AN UNEXPECTED PROBLEM BECOMES A UNEXPECTED BLESSING

    Every day I drive the same highway to and from the office, and every day I see an alarming number of distracted drivers.

    Sermon # 6 - No Need To Fear Death Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 6, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 903 views

    Man’s greatest fear is the fear of death, and that’s what gripped everyone aboard the ship that Jonah travelled. Learn how Jesus gives us hope beyond the grave. Also we as individuals and the church we must wake up to fulfill God's purposes in our life time.

    We read in Jonah 1:5, Then the seamen were afraid, and each man cried to his god. (AFV) As we continue this series on how the life of Jonah can be related to the church today, I believe that many of you are blessed through these meditations. The seamen on the ship were filled with dread when the ...read more

    Sermon # 5 - No Fear In Obedience Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 4, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 733 views

    Jonah chose to disobey God and ended up in a tumultuous storm. Are we walking in obedience to God and His word or are we trying to compromise and please people? Here’s a word of caution from the life of Jonah that if God is against us, there is no one who can save us.

    We read in Jonah 1:5, “Then the mariners were afraid,” (ESV) The mariners were filled with dread when they saw that the sea was so tumultuous and beyond their control. They therefore, feared that the ship would be wrecked, their goods destroyed and they would lose their lives in the process. I am ...read more

    As followers of Christ, we are called to embody humility and service, placing our hope in Jesus above any political party or leader.
