Standing Strong

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 16, 2022

God is reminding us that trials are a part of the Christian life. Jesus never glossed over the challenges we face as His children. God reminds us that whatever trial we face, He is there waiting for us to turn it over to Him and stand strong.

Sermon # 38 - The Grace And Justice Of God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 3, 2025

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

And then they repented of their sin and were baptized into Christ. Their future was changed because of what Peter said. ...read more
