    Anywhere But Nineveh

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 29, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 20,283 views

    God has a Nineveh for every one of us -- a place we don't want to go; a command we don't want to obey. Going to Nineveh is unpopular, it will cost us, it doesn't make sense and it's hard. But God's purpose in dealing with us is to save many souls.

    ANYWHERE BUT NINEVEH Jon. 1:1-17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A city slicker pulled up to a farmhouse. He saw a farmer's wife on the front porch. 2. He pointed down the road; "Can I get to Quincy that way?" "Yep." "How far is it?" "25,000 miles!" 3. "What?" How far is it the other way?" "3 ...read more

    Jesus And Giving Series

    Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Nov 11, 2020
     | 3,150 views

    Today we will turn to examine what Jesus had to say about giving. And we will ask what giving looked like to Jesus. The passage in Luke 14:15-33 is considered one of the "Hard Sayings of Jesus". And indeed, it takes a bit of explanation to make sense of it.

    Jesus and Giving Text: Luke 14:15-33 Luke 14:25-33 (NIV) 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my ...read more

    What Was Joseph Thinking?

    Contributed by Steve Greene on Nov 29, 2006

     | 4,499 views

    What was Joseph thinking that night outside the stable. Have you ever thought about it? What would have been going through your mind? This message challenges us to do what Joseph did. He obeyed God even when it didn’t make sense.

    What was Joseph Thinking? It may sound a little bit morbid to begin a message like this, but I have always told my wife, when I die, if she believes it can be said with integrity, I want my epitaph to include Genesis 6:22. Genesis 6:22 (NIV) 22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him. My ...read more

     | 5,340 views

    We need God’s light to make sense of life; without light we’re stumbling in the dark without direction…yet people all around seem accustomed to darkness and opposed to the light. They’ve so adapted to the darkness that they forget what true light is. Li

    In the Great Commission in Matthew 28, there are many imperatival participles, but Jesus’ only direct imperative to His disciples was, ’Make Disciples!’ What do we do with this?

    Make DISCIPLES! Sterling C. Franklin February 2008 Text: Matthew 28:16-20 Matthew 28:16-20 16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All ...read more

    The Mathematics Of Grace

     | 5,892 views

    Grace does not add up. It does not make mathematical sense. Maybe that’s why its grace.

    Paul calls on us to 'make the most of' or 'redeem the times." How do we accomplish this? This message offers some thoughts.

    Facing troubles and tests in our daily walk drains our energy. We wonder if we can even make it to Friday. Three things from I Peter show us how to get there.

    The First Adam was given a commandment to create life. The Second Adam has given us the commandment to create eternal life in the hearts of all those around us. So as we go, as we teach, as we baptize, we are making disciples.

    All authority is given to Jesus. This gives Him the right to command whatever He likes. • He could have pronounced final judgment on the earth right then. • He could have called down those 12 legions of angels to enact vengeance on a fallen and rebellious humanity. • ...read more
