    Sermon # 27 - Heed God's Warnings Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 20, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 556 views

    God’s message through the Prophet Jonah was one of warning to the people of Nineveh to repent of their sinful ways. The call of God all through the bible is for people to repent and turn back to Him. Genuine repentance alone can bring genuine change that will please God and bless others.

    We read in Jonah 3:3-4, “So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be ...read more

    "Woe To You": Avoiding The Pharisees’ Mistakes About Faith Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 4, 2025
     | 164 views

    Jesus' criticism of the religious leaders provides several insights into what genuine faith is supposed to look like.

    WRONG WAY: Jesus rejected the Pharisees’ approach to faith. - Luke 11:37-38. - Jesus gets invited to dine with a Pharisee and He goes. That in itself is interesting: Jesus is engaging with those who are His most vociferous enemies. - Why did He do that? I think there are at least a couple ...read more

    Funeral sermon for Michael Ellis, avid golfer and new believer. God has done definite things in Michael’s life, has provided a definite plan of salvation, and has given the definite gift of eternal life.

    I know almost nothing about the game of golf. I do know that Michael Ellis was an avid golfer. Even there in the hospice it seemed to comfort him to watch golf on television. I’m not sure he appreciated it when I compared looking TV golf to watching the grass grow. He laughed, but I’m not sure ...read more

    If Abel’s sacrifice was simply offering God his best, then Jesus Christ died for nothing except as a good example. Then we must agree with the world in saying that there are many sincere ways to God. Many people are sincere, but are sincerely wrong

    Why must it be only through the Blood that we can be saved? Genesis 4:1-12 We are told today that mankind is naturally good at heart. What we need to fix is the environment; through our social policies, our education, and our laws. The Bible clearly tells us this is not the case. Mankind is ...read more
