    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 16, 2013
     | 5,493 views

    A look at the dangers that come with presuming on God giving a second chances. Thankfully, He is a God who loves giving second chances, but sometimes we get in trouble by expecting they'll always be available.

    DOES GOD ALWAYS GIVE A SECOND CHANCE? Second chances are a gift, not a right. - Jonah 3:1. - We should not presume on God’s mercy. - There are times when a window of opportunity on a second chance closes: a. Timing issue with the opportunity. - Example: my church plant getting ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 19, 2013
     | 7,100 views

    THE NEXT STEPS (LITERALLY): Even after surviving the whale ordeal and getting a second chance, Jonah’s repentance begins with a lot of walking. - Jonah 3:3. - This is a fact that at one level seems rather obvious but that hit me hard a while back. As I considered the story of Jonah, I had ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,472 views

Outward appearance is a poor indicator of inward readiness. - Jonah 3:5-10. - Focusing on outward appearance hurts our witnessing because we don’t want to be mocked. - There are many who appear to be far away from God because they are in fact very ...read more

     | 7,585 views

    Some reflections on Nehemiah's opponents, Sanballat and Tobiah; sermon for a church about to vote on a building program.

    Last week as we spoke about Nehemiah and God’s vision for the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s wall, I hope one theme came through loud and clear: When God wants something, He’s going to get what He wants. The only question for us is, “Who is on the Lord’s side?” In ...read more

    Why Does The Government Do More Than The Church To Help The Poor? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 26, 2015
     | 5,435 views

    This passage on the care of widows opens up a larger question: what's the place the church should have in the care of the poor (versus the place the government should have)?

    THE POINT OF THE PASSAGE: Taking care of the needy widows was a big deal in the early church. - There was a different societal structure and a lack of social safety net back then. The church stepped in to help. - Unpack some of the passage. - The passage raises a more general question: why ...read more

    I want to address three matters in this message with regard to the Supreme Court’s supremely satanic decision in Obergefell v. Hodges: What has changed, what hasn’t changed, and what must change. First of all, what has changed? For one thing, this nation. Obergefell v. Hodges is new ...read more

     | 10,962 views

    A look at two of the sections in 1 Timothy that deal with the pastoral role.

    - First, let me say up front that this is not going to be an exciting sermon. I say that because the subject is one that is not particularly pressing. It is important, but most prefer sermons that focus on your personal walk with the Lord. This message deals with a corporate concern. - ...read more

    Will What A Christian Has Done Be Judged Publicly Before Everyone?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 17, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,449 views

    For the Christian, will our sins "be shown on a big screen for everyone to see"? I argue that while we are forgiven and saved by grace, our sins will be brought up at the Bema Judgment because they impact our fruitfulness.

    The Big Screen Question: Will what a Christian has done (including their sins) be judged publicly on a big screen? - John MacArthur says no. He says that our sins will not be mentioned at all. I disagree. - The issue, of course, is not the big screen, but rather whether in the process of being ...read more
