    Jonah's Word From The Lord

    Contributed by Richard Stevens on Jul 29, 2025
     | 229 views

    Jonah received a Word from the Lord for the sinful population in Niveneh. Jonah was tasked to warn them and call them to the Lord. We have received a Word from the Lord for the sinful population of Planet Earth. We are tasked to warn them and call them to the Lord. WILL WE REFUSE... or OBEY?

    INTRODUCTION Please turn to Jonah 1 Some consider the book of Jonah to be an allegory or, perhaps, a parable. However, II Kings 14:25 identifies Jonah as a real person, a Jewish prophet from Gath Hepher in Zebulun (near Nazareth), who ministered in the Northern Kingdom of Israel during the ...read more

     | 168 views

    If Christ can make the wolf lie down with the lamb, He can reconcile your broken relationships, tame the predator of sin in your life, and give you the peace that passes all understanding.

    The Wolf and the Lamb Together “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.” (Isa 11:6) “The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 14, 2025
     | 50 views

    The closing message looks at the Reformation along with the incompleteness and deadness. The Reformation was wrought with many problems that stunted the movement. That is considered, and we finish with a look at the promise given to Abraham.

    20. The Kingdom Parables – The Fifth – The Hidden Treasure – Part 4 of 4 This interesting Parable has been examined in regards to meaning, to its matching church, and to Church History as can be done for all these Parables of the Kingdom. This last message is looking at the reasons why the ...read more

    A classic sermon by St. Augustine.

    1. If, Honoratus, a heretic, and a man trusting heretics seemed to me one and the same, I should judge it my duty to remain silent both in tongue and pen in this matter. But now, whereas there is a very great difference between these two: forasmuch as he, in my opinion, is an heretic, who, for the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 621 views

    Most religions teach, along with the Bible, that God hates and despises the iniquity of sin and holds every individual responsible for their sin

    Part 1 INTRODUCTION It is the amazing and profound love of God that is the most powerful force in the Cosmos and the reason people exist. The Bible declares that God is love and is infinitely loving and just (1 John 4:8-10). It is because of His love He must deal with sin, which is the breaking ...read more

    Developing A Life Of Prayer

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Sep 22, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,997 views

    Prayer is at the very core of spiritual life. Despite how many people speak of praying as a part of their lives… I believe that a life that lives out of a center of prayer is challenging for most of us.

    Fires and earthquakes may serve to get our attention, taking our focus off the temporary things of this world… but the voice that we ultimately long for comes in quiet places. So it shouldn’t surprise us what we find the disciples of Jesus coming to him about in Matthew 6. They might have asked ...read more

The author’s introduction to the book begins with these words: Familiarity doesn’t always breed contempt, as the saying puts it, but it often breeds something potentially worse, the glazed ...read more
