    This is the 14th of 31 Devotions on the book of Jonah, where I make a comparison between the story of Jonah and The Church-at-large, in the light of the present global pandemic.

    # 14 – The Decisive Question Jonah 1:11: “Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us?”—for the sea was growing more tempestuous.” “What shall we do to you…” In our last devotion, we looked at the first question the sailors asked Jonah – “What have you done?” ...read more

    We all face major life decisions, and making those decisions are never easy. So how do we go about making them?

    2nd Week of Lent Genesis 15:1-18 It seems that the older I get the more life decisions I am faced with making. When I was younger my life decisions included what was I going to be when I grew up? Or, what college would I attend in order to pursue my chosen career path. At that time those decisions ...read more

    Our failures are not final. Jesus looked at Peter and saw his future, not his failures.

    “Commitment Issues” John 18:15-18; 25-27 All of us have at least one. All of us have at least one sound; one noise that really annoys us. For some it is the sound of the dentist drilling in your mouth, for others it may be the sound of screeching tires on pavement or perhaps when kids used to ...read more

    Are you unstable about your relationship to Christ? Do you waver in your relationship to Christ? Take right decision today just like Joshua did, but as for me and house, we will serve the Lord.

    “It is our decisions, not our conditions that determine our quality of life”

    Among all the wonders we are blessed with, one of the most powerful things that we have got is the power of “free will” or Choice. God has created humans with Free Will. We, therefore, are living our lives exercising the power of freedom over our personal choices and decisions. Life is full of ...read more

    "Everything Happens For A Reason" seems Biblical... but it's not. Do you know why it's not true? And do you know what God actually teaches about His purpose and promises in our lives?

    OPEN: Over the past couple of weeks we've been talking about stupid things that even Christians believe. Of course, these things that people believe don’t seem “stupid” to them at the time. In fact many of these things people believe seem perfectly reasonable… almost ...read more

    Today in our passage of Scripture we’re going to see the Israelite people make a bad decision. And at the beginning it didn’t seem like they were that far off. But b/c they weren’t hitting life in the CENTER of the club, so to speak, they ended up in a

    This sermon is a first-person narrative from the perspective of the innkeeper. We have all too often made the innkeeper into a bad guy. What if he did everything for the family that he could do?

    Well, it would seem I was between a rock and a hard place. I was in a situation, where there were no easy answers. I looked hard for the simple answers because, you know, they say the simplest is always the best. But, it wasn’t a simple lesson I faced. Later in his life Jesus faced several of those ...read more

    The Scriptures reveal that God spoke to Abraham only 7 or 8 times. Even though many people are constantly talking about how God is speaking to them every day, most of us do not hear from God that frequently. What do you do when God is silent?

    In this scripture passage, I want to show you a family that lived among God’s people, and then due to some hard times, they packed up and moved.

    You might be saying, “So what!” People move from one city to another all the time because of HARD TIMES! That is correct, but anytime we find something in the Word of God, it is there for a reason. WHAT IS THE REASON GOD PUT THIS FAMILY IN THE SCRIPTURES FOR MOVING? Because it was a ...read more

    Three weeks ago, we started a series entitled "Stand in the Gap", based upon Ezekiel 22:30 above. In short, God looked at Israel and found a very corrupt nation with no man that would "stand in the gap" and stand for what was holy and right. Today, we see the same thing in our country; there are ...read more
