    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Sep 8, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 20,937 views

    How is it possible for believers, or even entire congregations to sideline themselves and keep from being part of what God is doing?

Now, let’s look to chapter four. (READ TEXT) We would think the story of Jonah would have ended on the high note ...read more

     | 4,096 views

    A sermon to share with the congregation the need for serious and steady prayer concerning our church’s annual budget and the giving of the church.

    The internet is a wonderful source of information; although some is trivial, some useless, some is motivational, and some mind-numbing. Just for fun I went to a site called "Global Rich List." On this site there is a block where you insert your annual income, click on another button and it will ...read more

We’ve got a baby (Jesus 2:21), parents (Mary and Joseph 2:22), a man of faith (Simeon 2:25), and a very prayerful and faithful widow (Anna 2:36). The whole event is a reminder to us that children are a gift from God. I was ...read more
