"Let It Go" Series

Contributed by Brad Henry on Oct 20, 2011

The last part of the book of Jonah is all about attitude. God used Jonah to help save the Ninevites. Now Jonah is mad because he disliked the Ninevites. No matter how bad we may feel about our enemies we need to see them saved as WE ALL were once enemies

Rehoboam Series

Contributed by Mark Eberly on Feb 19, 2009
