The Spirituality Trap

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 24, 2023

We have a tendency to see the shining mountaintop moments or the depths of despair as being the most spiritually significant. But genuine spirituality surfaces - and matures - in the daily decision to forgive, to tell the truth, to resist a temptation or to hold our tongues.

Sermon # 41 - Forgotten Purpose Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 15, 2025

Jonah did not perceive God’s heart and thereby failed to rejoice when God’s purposes were accomplished in Nineveh. We as a church must have our hearts beat as one with that of God’s and fulfill His purposes to reach the lost and bring them into God’s Kingdom.

He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) In this series we are studying the life of Jonah and comparing it with the church of today, thereby trying to learn some ...read more
