    Swallowed Up

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 11, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,596 views

    Any time you run from God, you never go “up"; you always go “down.” God sometimes allows us to face frightening circumstances so that we will learn to trust and obey Him. It’s always best to obey the Lord right away - then we won’t be “swallowed up.”

    Opening illustration: Being shocked by electricity can be very dangerous. Just ask professional golf legend Lee Trevino. He was struck by lightning while sitting under a tree during a tournament several years ago. He said, “It bolted my arms and legs out stiff, jerked me off the ...read more

    Procrastination is something that many of us struggle with. There’s something in your life you know you need to do, and yet you keep putting it off. That is called procrastination. Procrastination is a spiritual issue. The Bible says that procrastination

    You may have felt you have served God long and faithfully in many areas of church life so why should I consider missions now? Why should I open my heart to people who may have their hearts closed to Gods message?

    Why Missions Work is Fishy Right here at New St. Andrews our WMS reaches men and women, boys and girls in Canada, India, Malawi, Guatemala, Mozambique and Nicaragua as well as Eastern Europe and even Israel and Palestine.

    The world wanted to know – Who Jonah was? Who did he belong to? What was he doing? What was he doing to them? Why was he sleeping at the worst time? Like Jonah, the world watches the believer and wants to know the same thing.

    THE WATCHING WORLD WANTS TO KNOW JONAH 1:1-17 Then they said to him, “Please tell us! For whose cause is this trouble upon us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?” Jonah’s ministry took place in the 8th century B.C. – sometime ...read more
