Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Aug 4, 2019

This sermon is on trusting God to get your sermon back on track. After 6 years, our church had bypassed the Great Commission and we needed to admit where we were, where we failed, and cast a new vision for the future of our church as we sought to relaunch in 5 weeks.

Sermon # 37 - Excuses People Give Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 27, 2024

Jonah has some lame excuses for why he did not want to obey God and preach to the city of Nineveh.

That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.” ...read more
