    Sermon # 25- Arise And Go Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 14, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 867 views

    Once the fish had vomited Jonah out, God’s call came to the prophet to arise and go to Nineveh and preach to the people. God’s call to the church is to take the good news of the gospel to those outside. May we too arise and go to fulfill the great commission of Jesus.

    We read in Jonah 3:1-2, Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.”(ESV) These are the words of God to Jonah after the fish vomited him out onto the shore. We are not sure in what ...read more

    Elijah And The Contest At Mt Carmel Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Sep 25, 2024
     | 4,648 views

    Elijah had requested King Ahab to have the prophets of Baal, plus a group of Israelites, meet on Mount Carmel to see whether Baal should be worshiped, or the True God of Israel. How did this contest turn out?

    Introduction: The story of Elijah’s contest with the prophets of Baal on the top of Mount Carmel is one of the most fascinating in the Bible! One lone prophet of the True God stood against 450 prophets of the idol-god Baal, with a group of Israelites gathered together to witness this event. The ...read more

    Sermon # 13 - Why Have You Done This? Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 1, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,077 views

    When the men on the ship realized that Jonah was the cause for their serious predicament they asked him, ‘Why have you done this?’ May we as children of God not do anything that will dishonor God and be a hindrance to those outside the church.

    We read in Jonah 1:10, Then the men were terrified. They knew that he was running away from the LORD, because he had told them. They asked Jonah, "Why have you done this?" (GW) The prophet Jonah who received the word of God to go to Nineveh, disobeyed God, and undertook a voyage on a ...read more

    Sermon # 15 - The Gradual Steps Of Backsliding Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 9, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 823 views

    Jonah walked away from God and landed everyone aboard the ship he travelled in big trouble. Backsliding is a gradual process, but if we repent and turn back to the Lord we can be reconciled and restored to our first love.

    We read in Jonah 1:10-12, Then the men were terrified. They knew that he was running away from the LORD, because he had told them. They asked Jonah, "Why have you done this?" The storm was getting worse. So they asked Jonah, "What should we do with you to calm the sea?" He told ...read more

    Sermon # 19 - God Gives Us Hope Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,109 views

    As Jonah was thrown into the sea it seemed all was over, but God had prepared a big fish to keep Jonah safe. In all those seemingly hopeless times, God is in control and let’s keep in mind that God’s grace and His justice always go hand in hand.

    We read in Jonah 1:15, “And they lifted Jonah up and threw him out into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.” (AFV) As we continue our studies on the life of Jonah and its relevance to the church, many have been blessed and we thank God for these good testimonies. God instructed Jonah to ...read more

    Sermon # 24 - God Gives Many Chances Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 6, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 887 views

    Though Jonah disobeyed and ran from God, the Lord gave him a second chance. No one is too bad or too far gone to return back to the loving Lord who alone can change and transform a sinner into a saint, and use such a one to fulfill His mighty purposes.

    We read in Jonah 3:1, “Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,” (ESV) God had called Jonah to accomplish a huge task. Jonah chose to disobey, and undertook a voyage which the Lord disrupted by sending a mighty tempest. As the ship was tossed about in the midst of the ...read more

    The Three Places

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 1, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 439 views

    In this journey of faith there are three places that we can find ourselves in – a place of bondage, a place of wandering or a place of promise. Each of us can introspect to see where we are and move forward in faith to reach the place of promise, to fulfill God’s purposes

    Today’s meditation is based on Joshua 21:43, “So the LORD gave all of the land to Israel that he had promised to give their ancestors, and they took possession and settled there in it.” (ERV) The Lord gave the people of Israel the land that he had promised to their ancestors, and they duly took ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 44 – Elders Have Been Vanquished By Babylon. We Look At Joy And Music Ceasing. Then We Consider The Great Jewish Contribution In Music - Lamentations 5:14-15 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 11, 2025
     | 143 views

    Further to all the troubles, the elders no longer function with determining justice when they sat in the gate. Young men no longer play and enjoy music. The nation lost its joy. Israel has a rich legacy with Composers and Conductors and Performers. Joyful change at the Second Coming.

    Brewing Resentments- Throwing Stones.

     | 10 views

    There is a growing spirit of offense and resentment with the family and the church. Hurt, anger and unforgiveness can be a hidden danger in our hearts. Unforgiveness hinders ministers, leaders and layity. We must not accept resentment in the dark rooms of our hearts.

    The Message Of The Cross

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jan 27, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 861 views

    The cross is the central fact of the Gospel. But not all people are aware or accept that fact. And this has been true from the beginning. Our text in I Corinthians 1:18-25 describes the message of the cross, and two words stand out: Foolishness and Power.
