The Call for Church Discipline 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 “...

God Saves Jonah, Nineveh, And Us.

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 29, 2020

The story of Jonah tells the story of God rescuing Jonah, not FROM a whale, but BY a whale. It tells of God reaching out to one of the cruellest people in history, the Assyrians. And it prefigures the story of God reaching out to us, through Christ.

GOD SAVES JONAH, NINEVEH, AND US We’re in a series ‘Bible Stories for Grown-Ups.’ Today, we’re looking at the story of Jonah. I’m going to assume most of us are fairly familiar with the story of Jonah and not spend time revisiting it. I’m going to look at the story under three headings: the ...read more

Worshipping Face To Face

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 6, 2022

This is a topical message related to worship. I want to discuss the worship-related experience of coming face to face with the glorious presence of the Lord, which ultimately leads to the worship response of falling face down before Him.

I have entitled our sermon/Bible study for this evening, “Worshipping Face to Face. I once preached a sermon entitled “Worshipping Face Down,” in which I discussed how people in the Bible often fell face down in worship in response to the glorious presence of both God the Father and the Son.

Building The Lord’s House

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

If the church is going to promote abundant life and begin attracting people, it must become more than just a physical structure. It must be seen as a house, or rather, a home. It must become a place where people feel safe and secure.

At the dedication of the building, the roof collapsed, killing many of the worshipers including the ...read more

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023
