    Sermon # 35 - The Heart Of A Christian Leader Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 18, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 321 views

    Jonah was a prophet of God, but he did not understand the loving heart of God towards a repentant people. The heart of Moses as a leader of the Israelites and the forgiving heart of Jesus are the best examples of how a Christian leader should love and care for the people under his or her care.

    We read in Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) There are two kinds of emotions that Jonah expressed as mentioned in the verse above, one was sadness, and the other was anger. As we meditate on this portion of scripture, we will try to understand the reasons for ...read more

    Jesus is the greatest Christmas gift ever! John showed how that even though He was rejected, more often than not, some from that day to this still receive Him as Lord and Savior.

    A Christmas Message for December 22, 2024 (based on a sermon preached at New Hope Baptist Church near Fulton, MO on 12-22-2024. This is not an exact transcription.)

     | 1,384 views

    Because Jesus rose from the dead – so will we … but before we go, we are changed into something he wants us to be. He wants us to look forward to dead, and our future life with him.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 9th April 2023 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). “Please join me in my prayer.” Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, ...read more

    Lack of belief is a sin because if you don't understand that reunion with God is the purpose of life, you will wind up lost. Literally.

    I was 8 years old when my family moved to Brazil. Everything changed: language, food, customs, weather. And one of the things that I at least did not expect was the absence of school buses.

    Because of her "ugliness" (weak eyes) Leah was unnoticed, unwanted & unloved… and unmarried. She was literally a rejected woman. How did God help her overcome her rejection?

    A lady was walking down the street on her way to work & saw a parrot in a pet store. She went in to admire the bird, and suddenly the parrot spoke to her, “Hey lady. You’re ugly.” Well, the woman was deeply offended, and she stormed out of the store. But on her way home, she thought she’d ...read more

    So many people are gripped with all kinds of fears, one of the major ones being the fear of death. Learn what Jesus did to set us free from this daunting fear of death, to give us hope for eternity.

    We read in Hebrews 2:14-15, “Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and might deliver all them who through fear of death were all ...read more

    Do we want the favor of God on our lives? As we study the life of Gideon, and others from the bible we will understand what those pre-requisites are for God’s favor to rest on us, and all we do.

    We read in Judges 6:17-19, So Gideon said to Him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, then show me a sign that it is you who speak with me. Please do not depart from here, until I come back to you, and bring out my offering and lay it before you.” And He said, “I will remain until you ...read more

    Not every father models what our Heavenly Father does, so this scripture in Ephesians chapter six is appropriate to help us understand the role of a father in the home.
