     | 23,762 views

    The amazing story of Jonah reminds us: 1) Don't run from God, 2) When life gets you down, look up, 3) Respond to God's second chance, and 4) Get God's heart for people. Like Jonah, we need to give up the "reluctant prophet" role and stay in God's will.

    Jonah 3:1-10 Aligning My Will with God’s Prophets with a Purpose – Week 2 Do you ever feel like some people are beyond hope, that they are incapable of change?

    In the opening of his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus talks about eight ways we can experience God's blessing, God's assurance that all will be well despite our feelings in the moment. Some blessings are for now; others for the life ahead. Jesus fulfills all!

    Matthew 5:1-12 Bless You! What if you could be content no matter how tough life got? What if you could know for certain that things would turn out ok? Jesus says you can, without a doubt. Today I have a sermon on a sermon, in fact the most famous sermon ever preached! Matthew 5-7 contains Jesus’ ...read more

    When we become a Christian, not only does Christ take away our sin, we identify with him, in death to our old ways, resurrection power to affect change, and life in a whole new way.
