    This sermon reveals the true power of our words and our responsibility as Christians to choose them wisely.

    Jonah’s experience helps us understand God’s grace again. Hiding and running from God never pays, coming home to his will is the only way.

    When God calls, which way do you run? Jonah is a classic Bible story. Someone has pointed out that in the first chapter Jonah ran away from God. In the second chapter, he ran back to God. In the third chapter he ran with God, but in the fourth chapter he ran ahead of God. Jonah was a ...read more

    The danger of looking to external “signs” to guide you into God’s will. So how do you know if God is leading you?

    I don’t recommend very many movies – and I especially don’t recommend the movie I’m about to mention. But sometimes lines spoken in movies jump off the screen and into the dictionary and become part of the way we think and speak – and inform us about ourselves and our attitudes. In the movie ...read more

    It’s not saying you don’t like the Holy Spirit – learn the real truth about the blaspheme of the Holy Spirit.

    I have a recurring dream – a nightmare, really. It takes three forms – at least one of which I’m sure you are familiar. In the dream I am either going to school, going on stage, or going on the air reporting the news on TV. In each case I arrive at my destination with no idea what I am supposed to ...read more

    describes what this evil generation needs to see and hear

    WHAT DOES THIS EVIL GENERATION NEED? Matthew 12:38-42 As if the scribes and Pharisees had not provoked Jesus enough, they demand a sign from heaven from him.

    When we look upon the goodness and wisdom that Christ offers we should desire to be like Him and not just give Him lip service like the Queen of Sheba.

    We, as Christians, need to guard our tongues.

    There are several ways that people use to decide what kind of individual another person is. A. I am not saying that all of these are valid....indeed, I do believe that a few of these measurements do not......accurately....indicate a person’s worth. 1. Valid, or ...read more

     | 7,096 views

    Why is it that we don’t share our faith in Christ more? Maybe Jonah can shed some light on the subject. Learn 5 attitudes that keep us from reaching others from his life.

    This Ain’t No Fish Story! I want to tell you a story this morning about a fish. But it’s anything but a “fish story”. Most of us can probably remember the story of “Jonah & the Whale” from our Sunday School days, but maybe now that we’re all grown up, we kind of put it in the same category as ...read more
