You Did It, Good! But, Why Did You Do It?

Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Jul 22, 2003

This sermon looks at how many have selfish reasons for following Jesus. The premise is that many say that they love Jesus, when in reality they don’t love Him per say but really only for what He gives them.

Maybe you were one of the millions who were glued a few months back to their television sets to watch the final episode of the Fox reality show, “Joe Millionaire”? The premise of the show was that they would take an ordinary guy making a working man’s salary, clean him up, put him up in a castle ...read more

The Stubborn Evangelist Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

This short story is one where Jonah is in flight; it’s also one where God is in pursuit. Jonah’s life is really one of a boomerang for he ends up in the place that ran from in the beginning. For four chapters we’ll witness Jonah’s futile flight as well as God’s persistent pursuit.

Note: The entire book of Jonah is read before I preach. Today we launch a new four part series entitled Jonah: The Stubborn Evangelist. And it is coming at just the right time for our church (more on the timing in just a moment). Most only know it as an amusing story about a prophet and a “whale.” ...read more
