    Though Jonah disobeyed and ran from God, the Lord gave him a second chance. No one is too bad or too far gone to return back to the loving Lord who alone can change and transform a sinner into a saint, and use such a one to fulfill His mighty purposes.

    We read in Jonah 3:1, “Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,” (ESV) God had called Jonah to accomplish a huge task. Jonah chose to disobey, and undertook a voyage which the Lord disrupted by sending a mighty tempest. As the ship was tossed about in the midst of the ...read more

    God’s justice ends evil, not people; His love respects freedom yet never stops reaching for hearts that still can turn home.

    The Question Nobody Wants to Ask You’ve heard it before— If God is love, why would He send anyone to hell? That question echoes in classrooms, podcasts, and TikTok comments. Even church kids wonder, “How can a good God allow something so bad?” It’s not rebellion to ask that; it’s ...read more

    Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have. Most people make the mistake of looking too far ahead for things close by. For example Salvation. Let’s take a closer look!

    Introduction "Is it really worth it?" you ask. This thing called Salvation. "I’ve tried it and it doesn’t work for me." so many say. There’s the problem, so many have TRIED it and Salvation isn’t something you TRY it’s in the one you TRUST! O.K. if Salvation is so hard as you say then let me be ...read more

    If you want to find real joy in the face of an uncertain future, renounce your own good and wise deeds; stop devising your own schemes. Instead, fear God and please Him through faith in His Son.

    Some times we only get one shot to do things right. But Christ can work beyond our limitations

    Too Late? Sometimes, you only get one chance. There are opportunities that only happen once. And if you miss it, you never get the chance to do it again.

    How many countless people are merely existing, even in the church? It is often the result of not focusing on God’s agenda and direction for the way we spend our time.

    Text: 10Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it. 11Don’t waste your time on useless work, mere busywork, the barren pursuits of darkness. Expose these things for the sham they are.

    It is easy to want to give up and drop out of the running. God does not want us to become weary and lose heart. Brethren, We have come too far to turn back now. How are we to run the this race of life?

    KEEP ON RUNNING THE RACE Hebrews 12:1-4 The Bible is full of references to Sports. Warren Wiersbe said that if the Apostle Paul were alive today, he would read the sports page. He often talks about running in a race, the victor’s crown, even about boxing. The writer of Hebrews also used ...read more

    While our culture has taken sex too far, the church hasn’t taken it far enough. We need to take sex back and reclaim it for the intended purposes of God. The problem is that we have not thought deeply enough about it, that is from God’s perspective.

    Physical Intimacy Song of Solomon A young pastor was once asked to preach a sermon on sex. Being somewhat reserved, he found himself embarrassed when he came to write the word “sex” while writing his sermon. To remove this discomfort, he decided to simply put the letter “S” ...read more
