    Sermon # 34 - The Unchanging God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 12, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 646 views

    Have you ever wondered if God would change His mind and if so for what reasons? The repentant King and people of Nineveh help us understand God’s true character, and our responsibility as the believers who belong to the body of Christ, the Church.

    We read in Jonah 3:10,“God saw what they did; he saw that they had given up their wicked behavior. So he changed his mind and did not punish them as he had said he would.” (GNB) God sent the prophet Jonah to preach against the city of Nineveh, with the message that in forty days the city would be ...read more

     | 1,519 views

    Many years ago, someone came up with the bright phrase about Christmas. It is: “Jesus is the reason for the season!” And I love that phrase. Jesus is the reason for thanksgiving.

    When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples,?“Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” Matthew 16:13 The story is told of two women who were enjoying an elaborate lunch in a downtown restaurant. When one asked the occasion for the reason of lunch, the other lady ...read more

    Sermon # 40 - Mercy Instead Of Judgement Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 10, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 633 views

    Jonah freely accepted God’s mercy but wanted God’s judgement to be given the people of Nineveh. God’s word reminds us that it is not our prerogative to judge others, but rather to be merciful to them, just as God is merciful to us.

    We read in Jonah 4:4, “Then the LORD said, "Do you think it is right for you to be angry?" (ERV) The God who created heaven and the earth asked Jonah the prophet, if he thought it was right to be angry with Him, very much like a parent would enquire of their child, who is upset with ...read more

    So often we go from the mountaintop to the valley of despair, how does God get us through to the other side? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister, Scott Jewell.

    Begin with clip from Hee Haw TV show. Gloom, despair, and agony on me. I remember many a Saturday night gathered around the TV as a child with my family. We enjoyed a lot of laughs as we watched sketches like the one we just viewed. This was the first thing that came to mind when I knew I was ...read more

    In The Same Way Series

    The first thing that jumps out at many people in this passage is that little phrase ‘be subject to’ or ‘submit’, or ‘be submissive’. People can get hung up in that and lose the intention of what is being said.

    In the Same Way A study through Peter July 16th 2023 A young child was attending their very first wedding. Sitting by his mom, the boy took in all the sights and sounds. Leaning toward her, the child asked ‘Why does the bride wear all-white?’ To which she answered her son, ‘Well dear, white ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,220 views

    What would be wrong with "baptizing" an infant? Is it Biblical and was it a practice of the early Church?

    Raccoon John Smith was one of our brotherhood’s more colorful evangelists in the early 1800s. One day he was passing by a Methodist camp meeting and he watched as a young Methodist preacher sprinkled water (for baptism) on a baby who was kicking & screaming at the top of its lungs. When the ...read more
