Sermon # 44 - God Is Mindful Of Us Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 24, 2025

Jonah sat outside the city of Nineveh in the blazing heat fuming against God, but God graciously appointed a plant to grow and give shade to Jonah. No matter what our situation is, let’s remember that God is mindful of us and He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Moses: From Contentment To Calling

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Let me ask you a simple question, “Are you content?” I saw a self-help based article on the Internet that suggested contentment can be found by catching yourself thinking “life sucks,” and stopping such thinking. It continued that contentment is found by cultivating a thankfulness for “little ...read more
