Sermon # 15 - The Gradual Steps Of Backsliding Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 9, 2024

Jonah walked away from God and landed everyone aboard the ship he travelled in big trouble. Backsliding is a gradual process, but if we repent and turn back to the Lord we can be reconciled and restored to our first love.

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 11, 2024

Jonah’s disobedience became a hindrance the entire crew of unbelievers aboard that ship. This is a caution to us that as believers we should walk in total obedience to God and not become a stumbling block to those outside the church.

We read in Jonah 1:13, “Instead, the sailors tried to get the ship to shore, rowing with all their might. But the storm was becoming worse and worse, and they got nowhere.” (GNB) As we continue these studies on the life of Jonah, there are many lessons that we can learn from the same.

Sermon # 17 - Stop Striving - Start Trusting Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 16, 2024

While Jonah the prophet of God thought of no one but himself, the mariners who were unbelievers were so concerned about him. The church needs to be filled with those who have compassion for the lost, who depend on entirely on the Lord and lead many into His Kingdom.

We read in Jonah 1:11-14, The storm was getting worse all the time, so the sailors asked him, “What should we do to you to stop the storm?” Jonah answered, “Throw me into the sea, and it will calm down. I know it is my fault that you are caught in this violent storm.” Instead, the sailors tried to ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

Some people describe others by saying, “They have an attitude problem.” Listen, on any given day that could be said of any of us.

The God Of Jonah

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 18, 2022

The story of Jonah is so exciting that some people believe it is no more than a fairy tale filled with exaggerations.

When it comes to exaggeration, we are reminded of the story of the little boy who was known for his problem with exaggeration. He came home from school one day and said, "Mom, I saw a dog as big as an elephant." The mother said, "Johnny, haven't I told you a billion times not ...read more
