    The beginning of the story of Jonah

    The day turned out bright and clear. The captain turned an admiring eye to the trim of his ship following the single main mast up toward the azure sky. His eyes turned downward and he surveyed the dock and saw his crew scurrying to load on cargo, bales of grain from Egypt, spices from Arabia and ...read more

    To focus on Biblical examples of some souls who were “so close, yet so far from Him”…even while gleaning lessons which are very much applicable to God’s people of the 21st century!!!

    We often think of heroes as those who run to the fight... but often heroes are those who engage in "organized retreats".

    OPEN: One of my favorite stories from Revolutionary war involves the "Battle of the Cowpens". Toward the end of the Revolutionary war, the British General Cornwallis had captured Savannah, Charleston and Camden in South Carolina - and in the process he had defeated and imprisoned much of the ...read more

    Explores Abram's journey of faith and obedience, encouraging us to heed God's call, harness our faith, and harvest His promises in our lives.

    Who Would Have Thought...?

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 25, 2000
    based on 128 ratings
     | 5,393 views

    We need to trust God because He knows what He is doing: Though our lives may seem very confusing at times, though it may often seem that God is far away and has forgotten about us, we still need to trust.

    Who would have thought it? The St. Louis Rams were the best football team in the NFL this past season. They compiled a 13-3 record, then beat the Vikings and Bucs in the playoffs, and finally edged out the Titans to win the Super Bowl. But, six months ago, if you would have said the Rams would ...read more

    t’s a small word, only 3 letters, however when I looked up its definition in Collins English Dictionary, I found not one, but eight different ways the word could be used.

    A message about the forgiveness of God and how we need to apply that forgiveness in our dealings with others.

    As Far As the East Is From the West – The Issue of Forgiveness Various Scriptures Introduction Today we look at a topic that doesn’t get much press in the pulpit nowadays, but we can’t neglect it.

    Road Maps For A Far Country

    For Father’s Day: Fathers who say "yes" to everything provide a road map to disaster; who keep their children at arm’s length point to alienation; but who may also go home themselves to lead their children home. (Maps were displayed)

    I have always liked maps. Any kind of map fascinates me. You can learn so much from a map. If it is a road map, you can find out how to get from here to there and back again. When I was in elementary school and the classroom got boring, like most kids, I would doodle. But while some kids ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,478 views

    Faith is tested when we must wait and continue to trust God even when the answer seems far away, or when our problems seem too great. Abraham's lack of an heir, and God's promise to work a miracle for Abraham provide a powerful example for us of waiting

    Sermon Notes April 22, 2012 FBCam Will You Wait on God? Genesis 17 We often equate FAITH with DECISIONS. Sometimes FAITH is about WAITING. Romans 4:9-12 describes Abraham as the “Father of our Faith.” When we consider Abraham’s faith, we normally consider his faith in ...read more

    Jesus has a way of always challenging us to go forward. Just when we think we know Him, He reveals something new that forces us into faith.

    Just when you think you know who Jesus is – He reveals something else that throws you completely off. Just when you have a handle on your life, something happens to upset everything you’ve come to rely on. We think that describes someone who is young in the Lord or who should know better. But in ...read more

    NOT FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD? Mark 12:28-34. Long before the invention of the printing press, men called Scribes would work together to copy out the Scriptures for future generations.
