     | 1,872 views

    The father and son (Tug McGraw and Tim McGraw—- withheld till the end like Paul Harvey’s style) that I speak of this morning are both famous. Though they were separated for many years, it is more than obvious that God’s “purpose” was at work in bringing them together.

    GOD’S PURPOSE Text: Romans 8:28 Our church secretary Paula (at Indian Field UMC) often shares insightful thoughts for the day that come from a daily calendar she has. 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

    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
