    This is the conclusion of our series in the Book of Jonah. This was a hard sermon that challenged our congregation to examine how we are like Jonah, and what we should do about it.

    When we walk by faith; we can courageously face the hard realities of this world. It helps us to understand Paul's saying: absent from the body and present with the Lord.

    AT HOME WITH GOD Scripture Text: 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord— for we walk by faith, not by sight— we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the ...read more

    This is a message about Jonah fleeing from the call of God. It is a message about how we should obey God, not only in the things we like, but also in the hard things.

    Thought that might get your attention. The debate about the goodness of man rages, as does the arguments for the existence of God. Paul takes on both in this very hard hitting section.

    How can you know you are dying unless someone tells you ‘you have a terminal disease’? How do you know you need to be set free unless someone tells you ‘you are a captive’? How can you tell something is wrong unless someone tells you what is right? That’s the essence of the rest of Romans 1. Before ...read more

    For example, sometimes our dogs misunderstand some things about us.
