     | 950 views

    Jonah’s disobedience and rebellion stemmed from an ungrateful heart. The Israelites too had to wander in the wilderness because of their constant grumbling and lack of thankfulness. Let’s learn to set aside all grumbling and replace it with a thankful heart.

    We read in Jonah 3:1-3, “Then the LORD spoke his word to Jonah a second time. He said, "Leave at once for the important city, Nineveh. Announce to the people the message I have given you." Jonah immediately went to Nineveh as the LORD told him. Nineveh was a very large city. It took three ...read more

    The world's current population is somewhere between 7 and 8 billion. Some think that's too many and have openly advocated for depopulation measures. All they need to do is wait for the Great Tribulation and they'll come close to getting their wish!

    Introduction: A number of people, mostly elites, and increasingly calling out for more people to die! The justification, if I understand it correctly, is that there are too many people on this planet to be kept (the “sustainability” argument) and/or there isn’t enough of the right _kind_ of people. ...read more

    We need perpetual reminders of God's undeserved love (his grace) for us. The Apostle Paul shows us how we as individuals and we as a congregation can then excel in the grace of giving.
