    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.

    For our meditation let us look at Jonah 4:6, “Now the LORD God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant.” (ESV) God gave Jonah a task to go and preach against ...read more

    Sermon # 45 - The Two Sons Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 198 views

    Abraham had two sons, one born according to the flesh and the other according to God’s promise. Both of them were in complete contrast to each other. It is not enough if we are born according to the flesh, because the Lord demands that we are born again through the Holy Spirit.

    For today’s meditation we will look at Galatians 4:22-23, “Scripture says that Abraham had two sons, one by a woman who was a slave and the other by a free woman. Now, the son of the slave woman was conceived in a natural way, but the son of the free woman was conceived through a promise [made to ...read more

    Faithful, courageous proclamation of God’s Word in every season transforms lives and advances God’s kingdom, even when the world prefers easier, softer messages.

    Some words read like a weather report for the soul. You can feel the forecast in them. Sunlight for the weary, a gentle breeze for the anxious, a steady anchor for the tossed-about heart. Paul’s words to Timothy are that kind of forecast. He’s an older pastor whispering courage to a younger one. ...read more
