    In his anger Jonah seeks to extinguish the grace and compassion which God has shown to Nineveh. As we go through life we need to be aware of those times when we have also extinguished the grace of God and found ourselves in a place where God is asking, “Do you have a right to be angry?”

    Message Jonah 4:1-4 A Grace Extinguisher And A Merciful God Let’s get a summary of Jonah’s evangelism crusade to Nineveh. Jonah proclaimed, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” The Ninevites believed God. The king proclaimed, “ Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up ...read more

    The Scriptures reveal that God spoke to Abraham only 7 or 8 times. Even though many people are constantly talking about how God is speaking to them every day, most of us do not hear from God that frequently. What do you do when God is silent?

    As he followed Prophet Elijah, Elisha had every cause to be distracted. But he kept going. Elisha maintained an unbroken focus and he received the supernatural.

The first hint that God would defeat evil one day comes - according to many scholars - right there in the beginning, in the third chapter of Genesis. I’m a little dubious about that interpretation, myself, but certainly by ...read more

The one that she shared from May 11, 2018 fits very well with the message for today. It reads… “God’s purpose is greater ...read more
