    Sermon # 36 - Learning To Forgive Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 20, 2024
     | 520 views

    Jonah was happy to receive God’s forgiveness for his disobedience, but was unhappy when God did the same for the people of Nineveh who repented of their sins. Jesus paid with his life for our forgiveness, and God expects us to extend this same forgiveness to those who wrong us in any way.

    For our meditation we will study Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) When the prophet Jonah preached to the people in the city of Nineveh, they took his words seriously, repented, and had a change of heart. God relented from punishing the people of Nineveh, and ...read more

    If we have trouble expressing love, maybe it’s because we haven’t experienced forgiveness. We can learn much from Jesus and a woman with no name.

    Two of the ‘women of faith’ in the new Testament have no names…One is a woman who, after twelve years of living with an ailment, touched the garment of Jesus as he was on his way to resurrect a girl from death. Yearning to touch Jesus and out of desperation, Jesus says to the woman, “Your faith ...read more

    "he Is Risen!" Now What?

    Contributed by Robert Walderman on Mar 18, 2024

     | 2,053 views

    He is Risen, but we ask, “What now?” What does it mean for us and how does it impact our lives today? Is it just to be an awesome historical event and left there? The answer is no.

    HE IS RISEN! (He is Risen indeed!) That is the shouted declaration of triumph and its reaffirming response. The fact that Christ is risen is the pinnacle of our Christian faith. Christianity stands or falls on the resurrection. The Apostle Paul stated; “For what I received I passed on to you ...read more

    Simple outline of the Lord's prayer. I used this to share notes and then pray on each topic. We called this our Look Up! service.

    Begin with Praise – This is where true prayer begins. Mat 6:9-13 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Too many times we begin our prayers with selfish request. Focusing too much on self. Surrender – This is where we surrender to God’s will and ...read more
