    Jonah Pouts - God Teaches Series

    Contributed by Michael Luke on May 16, 2008
     | 5,474 views

    Because of Jonah’s rebellion and disobedience to God’s will, Jonah couldn’t see what God was asking him to see. Are you looking for what God wants you to look for or is your vision blurred by selfish disobedience?

    (adapted from a message by Stuart Jones) TEXT: JONAH 4:1-11 TITLE: “JONAH POUTS – GOD TEACHES” OPEN: A. A five-year-old boy was having a difficult time being good. He didn’t want to do anything his mother asked him to do, he was defiant toward her authority, and he ...read more

    John said, "He must increase, I must decrease." If the church would discover that lesson and live by it, there’s no limit to where God can take his church.

    God Gives the Increase Sunday, June 01, 2008 – AM By Pastor Jim May Since 1999, when Victory Temple was first formed as a church, God began to let me have dreams and visions of the church that seemed so impossible to me at that time.

    Like He did with Israel, God is in the business of afflicting the comfortable. When we are at ease in Zion, He sometimes has to shake us up with righteous affliction.

    Three Strikes, You're Out! Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Aug 27, 2007
    based on 19 ratings
     | 12,918 views

    Israel missed each opportunity God gave them. Each time Amos interceded, God held off on afflicting them. Finally, He had enough—He afflicted them with almost complete destruction. God is faithful to respond to the intercessory prayers of His people.

    1. The first pitch was a fastball of grace. 2. The second pitch was a fastball of mercy. 3. The third pitch was a changeup of affliction.

    25th in a series from Ephesians. How to allow God to fill us with all His fulness so we can be all that He wants us to be.

    I’m convinced that too many people have way too much time on their hands.

    How can these things be? That was the question Nicodemus asked Jesus in our passage today. Do you ever find yourself asking that question?

    A few weeks ago, when we looked at 2:23-25, I titled the sermon, “Belief That Isn’t.” This morning, I’m using the title, “Belief That Is.” Before John introduced us to the person of Nicodemus in chapter 3, he took just a few verses to describe the vast majority of people who were around Jesus at ...read more
