     | 4,240 views

    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

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Apr 15, 2019
     | 4,623 views

    As we pray, we recognize sources of temptation: the world, the flesh, and the devil. We commit ourselves to overcoming with God's help: Know what is right, tell the truth, build a life too good to lose, and play to win.

    PRAYING LIKE JESUS: OVERCOMING TEMPTATION—Matthew 6:9-13, 1 Corinthians 10:12-14 Have you ever said something like this? “I don’t know how it happened. I got sucked in, and I couldn’t seem to avoid it.” “Why did I say that? It was stupid and wrong—and I didn’t really mean to.” “I want that so bad! ...read more

    A wise Bible teacher once said, sooner or later, God will bring self-sufficient people to the place where they have no resource, but him- No strength, No answers, nothing but him. Without God’s help, they’re sunk.

    Waiting On The Lord

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 25, 2025
     | 234 views

    God’s delays are deliberate designs, revealing His glory, deepening our trust, and assuring that His perfect plan unfolds exactly when it should.

    Introduction – The Journey Between Two Mountains Two mountains stand across the pages of Scripture like bookends of a single story — Mount Moriah and Mount Calvary. On one, a father walks with his son, wood on his back, heart in his throat, and faith on the line. On the other, another Father ...read more

    Jesus is coming soon. Prepare daily, own your faith, and don’t delay. Midnight is coming, but grace is here now.

    Picture the scene Jesus paints. Night has settled in. A moon is rising lazy and late. Shadows stretch across the village road. Somewhere nearby, a bride waits with trembling excitement. Her friends surround her with music and laughter and nervous energy. They do not know when the moment will ...read more
