    Sermon # 35 - The Heart Of A Christian Leader Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 19, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 301 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

    Our salvation gives us a new look, a new perspective, on life so that changes how we deal with things that come into our life.

    Our Salvation in Jesus Christ does not merely give us hope for some point in the future. I don’t want to take away anything from that important aspect of salvation-a salvation that gives us assurance that someday we will be with Jesus for eternity either by our physical death or the rapture of the ...read more

    At a men's retreat I noticed the verse on the back of the shirt of the guy sitting ahead of me. 2 Tim. 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." I pondered that and wondered how power, love and self-discipline counter fear.

    There are times in our lives when we need to speak boldly. The apostle Paul realized that when he asked the Ephesian church to pray for him. He had a specific prayer request. And it was for boldness.

     | 2,046 views

    While the Philippians wanted to know how Paul was doing so that they might further provide aid to help reduce his suffering, Paul wanted his “partner” to know that while he was in chains, the word of God certainly was not being restricted!

    No wonder Paul had such joy. Through his circumstances, Christ was known, preached, and magnified. Joy in perspective. It doesn’t matter if I get my way. It doesn’t matter if my personal ambition is met. What matters is that Christ is magnified
