Sermon # 23 - Jehovah Shalom - God Of Peace Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 28, 2025

In a world that is in constant turmoil, and fears loom large, we have the assurance that Jehovah Shalom, ‘God of Peace’ is with us. Learn how God met Gideon a man filled with fear and transformed him into a mighty warrior who delivered God’s people from fear and bondage.

We read in Judges 6:11, “Then the LORD's angel came to the village of Ophrah and sat under the oak tree that belonged to Joash, a man of the clan of Abiezer. His son Gideon was threshing some wheat secretly in a wine press, so that the Midianites would not see him.” (GNB) Observe the kind of ...read more

Sermon # 40 - Mercy Instead Of Judgement Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 10, 2025

Jonah freely accepted God’s mercy but wanted God’s judgement to be given the people of Nineveh. God’s word reminds us that it is not our prerogative to judge others, but rather to be merciful to them, just as God is merciful to us.

Sermon # 42 - Time To Rise Up Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 17, 2025

Jonah was seated in the wrong place waiting for God to pour out His wrath on the city of Nineveh. There were many others in the Bible who were in the wrong place like Jonah. If we are in such a place, God reminds us to rise up and go, to fulfill His purposes for our lives.

We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) God sent the prophet Jonah to the city of Nineveh with a message. When Jonah preached, the people of Nineveh received the ...read more
