The Heart Series

Part of a three part series telling the role of the heart in conjunction with your spiritual growth.

My focus this evening will be the Heart. It was once stated by an anonymous author that: "Thy speech betrayeth thee." Speech is the index of the soul. Utterance is the open door through which the character is known. Words are the fruit of the lips, and by their fruits we know them. Scripture: ...read more

Heart Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Sep 16, 2008

Jesus reminded the disciples that the very thing that they should be doing when He comes back is serving. He wants to find servants who have given their hearts to live out God’s purpose and to serve the needs of others.

Sermon # 48 - No Room For Rebellion Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 12, 2025

Jonah’s heart was hard and right to the end he was not willing to accept God’s forgiveness and compassion that was extended to the people of Nineveh. Rebellion against God is sin and if there is such a sin in our lives, may we set it aside and walk in obedience to the Holy Spirit.

Today’s meditation is taken from Jonah 4:9, “But God said to him, "What right do you have to be angry about the plant?" Jonah replied, "I have every right to be angry—angry enough to die!"” (GNB) God spoke to Jonah who was annoyed and angry, and asked him if it was right on his ...read more

Open Your Heart To The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 27, 2012

It is more than education we need, we need the illumination of the Spirit. It is more than planning we need, but the leading of the Spirit. It is more than praying we need, but listening to the Holy Spirit.

Christianity is hopeless without the Holy Spirit. He is God’s agent on earth today. • Without Him, there is a disconnection with God; the line is cut off. We won’t fully understand God’s will. • The Holy Spirit reveals the will of God. He reminds us of the words of Jesus; he guides us into all ...read more
