The Last Breakfast Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

The Lord's supper was prepared by others, but the Lord's breakfast is really just that, it is the Lord's breakfast that He prepared Himself. This is the only men's breakfast we read about in the Bible, and the Lord of the universe is both the host and the cook.

The Bible says God's mercies are new every morning, and the result is that many of His blessings have come to His people at breakfast. Hudson Taylor, the founder of the China Inland Mission, tells of this event in his life as he prepared to go to China. When he got to China he knew he would ...read more

Jonah

Contributed by Marc Bertrand on Nov 5, 2004

A first person narrative of the life and ministry of Jonah. Best done with a bit of a sense of humour. Told from the perspective of a Ninevite.
