That Story Is Hard To Swallow!

Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Sep 8, 2013

Maybe one of the reasons we don’t pray for our enemies or witness to them (The ones who have hurt us, talked about us, lied about us, been mean to us) is, because deep down inside, we are afraid that they will repent and God will forgive them instead of punish them!!

Jonah 4:1-11-But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he became angry. So he prayed to the Lord, and said, “Ah, Lord, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and ...read more

Jonah Experiences God’s Mercy…Again

An election of a prime minister wasn’t the only exciting thing to happen last Tuesday. October 14th was also the day the latest Indiana Jones movie came out on DVD. I admit.

Man's Justice Series

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Mar 6, 2016

One thing evident about the story of Jonah is that his assignment to Nineveh was not so much about what Nineveh needed to learn as what Jonah needed to learn; so it is with us.

"depression (Part 1): Understanding The Symptoms, Effects, Cauising Factors, And Cases In The Bible" Series

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Aug 11, 2021

Depression affects how you feel, the way you think, and how you act. It is affecting more than 264 million people, Christians and non-Christians alike. This sermon talks about symptoms and factors that cause depression and what the Bible says about it.

Last Sunday, we learned about grief. Today and next week, we will learn about depression. Depression is different from sadness or grief. The death of a loved one, loss of a job, or the ending of a relationship are difficult experiences for a person to endure. But being sad is not the same as having ...read more

Are You Angry With God? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 30, 2021

Thinking The Sovereign Act

Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Jun 17, 2022

Before we display our reaction of anger, what should we think first?

“But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry. He prayed to the LORD, ‘Isn’t this what I said, LORD, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who ...read more

Hungering For Righteousness

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 4, 2021

If a person does not hunger for physical food they probably will not take time to eat and will die. If a person does not hunger for spiritual food they probably will not take time for spiritual food and will die spiritually. So, why don't we spend more time feasting on God's Word?

Hungering For Righteousness Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:6-8 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall ...read more

A God Of Second Chances

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 27, 2022

The Priority Of Persons Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The lesson that Jonah needed to learn to bring him to his senses, and the lesson all of us must be conscious of is that persons are ends in them selves and not means. The state and the church exist for the welfare of persons.

A little boy who had shown a fit of temper was scolded by his mother and sent to his room. He was told to pray that his temper might be reformed. His mother followed him and listened at the door to see if he would. This is what she heard: "O, Lord, please take away my bad temper, and while ...read more
