    This morning, we are going to see a prophet try to run away from God. And we will see God pursue Jonah with a storm. At the end of this section, the story gets a bit fishy.

    Jesus wants to baptize His people with the Holy Spirit and fire. It’s time to get ignited, and allow the refiner’s fire to burn away anything in us that’s not of the Lord!

    THE SCHOOL OF PRAYER #3: FIRE FROM HEAVEN OPENING TEXT: This summer, we are going to Jesus and saying, “Lord, teach us to pray!” “Now it came to pass, as Jesus was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray.” ...read more

    Laughing Away The Burdens

     | 17,418 views

    Abraham laughed in the cynicism of old age; Sarah laughed in the denial that defends against what is inevitable; but beyond both of them God laughed in joy at the triumph of His purposes, fulfilled in two aged followers.

    You have heard it said, “He who laughs last, laughs best.” Let me expand on that: I may laugh, you may laugh, but God will have the last and best laugh, for God’s purposes will be served. Laughter. There are all sorts of reasons to laugh. Some will laugh out of frustration; unable to do what ...read more

    We cannot play around with temptation because we are not strong enough to resist it for long, and when temptation is taken, it will always lead us into sin - away from God.

    Have you ever noticed how opportunity only knocks once, but temptation seems to keep banging away until you answer the door? It’s always there waiting to entice us, and unless we are constantly on guard against it, we will slip and succumb to it. It might be the temptation of fear; the temptation ...read more

    In Genesis 15 vultures come and try to steal Abram's sacrifice. Vultures are always trying to steal the basis of our covenant relationship with God. Some vultures include: lethargy, distractions, human fraility. Shocking end to sermon.

    Our need to be part of a community of believers.

    Falling Away April 23, 2023 I really believe God has a sense of humor. I also believe God can be really sarcastic!

    Pride comes before the fall the Bible tells us. Then why is this such a big problem in the lives of many Christians. Let’s look at a view from God’s word.

    Let’s Put away our Pride Pali, this bull has killed me." So said Jose Cubero, one of Spain’s most brilliant matadors, before he lost consciousness and died.

    The pattern is all over Scripture: we cannot separate our vertical relationship to God from our horizontal relationship to others; the vertical always influences the horizontal. This is true in the realm of comfort.

    Receiving God’s Comfort to Give It Away (2 Corinthians 1:3-7) 1. Yesterday Marylu and I went to the Ko-ko-mah encampment as we do every year. We love the smell of campfires cooking food, crafts and arts done in an 1800’s style, the music, the costumes, the re-enactments. 2. When ...read more
