  • What Was The Sin That Caused The Boat To Rock? Series

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 28, 2024
     | 1,020 views

    Evil was rampant through the area. God called a man to preach repentance. But instead of doing as he was instructed, he ran. How many Christians today are like that?

    When an evil empire displayed its power before God and the world through various demonstrations of inhumane mercilessness, that is when Jonah heard God instruct him to proceed to call the people to repent for their sins. However, Jonah ran away from God. In verses one - three: God called Jonah to ...read more

    I tell you there comes a time in your life when none and nothing can save you but ONLY GOD. Amen. God meets you personally and His ears are inclined to your pleas when you shut the doors for prayer!

    Get up and call on your god! Jonah 1:6 The captain went to him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god!

    We should not forget that we are called to be God’s servants and instruments in His hands. We are called to sow the seed and water it, only God can give the produce and bring the harvest.

    Opening illustration: Play PRAYER video. Introduction: Often to make further decisions and the move forward, we tend to retrospect on the results of our past endeavors.

  • Route To Great Awakening

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,150 views

    We can go on living as though this world were everything, and there is no eternal world or great God to whom we are accountable. But when Christ returns will each one of us account for your life with joy?

    Opening illustration: God awakened me when I went to work in the Middle East. Till then I was just a lukewarm and laidback Christian. I saw the great need for the Gospel of Christ to be proclaimed to the so many lost souls there. They had no idea that they were perishing and there was only one way ...read more

  • Sermon # 35 - The Heart Of A Christian Leader Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 18, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 393 views

    Jonah was a prophet of God, but he did not understand the loving heart of God towards a repentant people. The heart of Moses as a leader of the Israelites and the forgiving heart of Jesus are the best examples of how a Christian leader should love and care for the people under his or her care.

    We read in Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) There are two kinds of emotions that Jonah expressed as mentioned in the verse above, one was sadness, and the other was anger. As we meditate on this portion of scripture, we will try to understand the reasons for ...read more

  • Sermon # 36 - Learning To Forgive Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 20, 2024
     | 574 views

    Jonah was happy to receive God’s forgiveness for his disobedience, but was unhappy when God did the same for the people of Nineveh who repented of their sins. Jesus paid with his life for our forgiveness, and God expects us to extend this same forgiveness to those who wrong us in any way.

    For our meditation we will study Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) When the prophet Jonah preached to the people in the city of Nineveh, they took his words seriously, repented, and had a change of heart. God relented from punishing the people of Nineveh, and ...read more

  • Sermon # 37 - Excuses People Give Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 26, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,206 views

    Jonah has some lame excuses for why he did not want to obey God and preach to the city of Nineveh. There are many others in the bible who gave excuses and the question is “Are we also giving excuses?” or “Are we fulfilling the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus and leading others into His kingdom?”

    We read in Jonah 4:2, “And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.” ...read more

  • Sermon # 38 - The Grace And Justice Of God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 505 views

    Jonah desired that God should punish the people of Nineveh and was angry when God relented. There are two sides of God, His grace and His justice that go hand in hand. A proper understanding will help us set aside our sinful ways and to stay in the will of God.

    For today’s meditation we will look at Jonah 4:2, “And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and ...read more

    Jonah 1:7-16

    So last week we covered the first six verses in the book of Jonah and I had made mention that we at times are much like Jonah in that when God commands us to do something we often at times run from that which He asks. So this brought about a question, what are you running from? What in scripture ...read more
