Sermon # 41 - Forgotten Purpose Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 15, 2025

Jonah did not perceive God’s heart and thereby failed to rejoice when God’s purposes were accomplished in Nineveh. We as a church must have our hearts beat as one with that of God’s and fulfill His purposes to reach the lost and bring them into God’s Kingdom.

We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) In this series we are studying the life of Jonah and comparing it with the church of today, thereby trying to learn some ...read more

Faces: Samson Part 2 Series

I've Got A Secret

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Jul 31, 2007

The Gnostic gospels were never “lost.” But they have been thrown out many times. We throw garbage away because it’s worthless. Theologically, the Gnostic “Gospels” are every bit as worthless as anything else we throw out. So is "The Secret."
