    Sermon # 45 - Give God The Rightful Place Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 28, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 549 views

    Jonah as a prophet of God did not give God the rightful place. When we obey God, serve Him alone, and set aside all that displeases Him, we will truly honor God and give Him the rightful place in our lives.

    We read in Jonah 4:7, “But God appointed a worm at the rising of the dawn of the next day, and it struck the plant, and it withered.” (LITV) As Jonah enjoyed the shade of the plant that God had prepared for him, the Lord appointed a worm that obeyed God’s bidding, and ate up the plant, so that it ...read more

    Sermon # 48 - No Room For Rebellion Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 12, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 443 views

    Jonah’s heart was hard and right to the end he was not willing to accept God’s forgiveness and compassion that was extended to the people of Nineveh. Rebellion against God is sin and if there is such a sin in our lives, may we set it aside and walk in obedience to the Holy Spirit.

    Today’s meditation is taken from Jonah 4:9, “But God said to him, "What right do you have to be angry about the plant?" Jonah replied, "I have every right to be angry—angry enough to die!"” (GNB) God spoke to Jonah who was annoyed and angry, and asked him if it was right on his ...read more

    3 of 4. Habakkuk faced the disconcerting/unsettling dilemma of Divine 'inaction' towards His people, Judah. What makes, or How is Divine inaction unsettling? 4 fabrications that either: accentuate the dilemma—OR—that muddy/confuse/obscure the answer of God’s inaction.

    We Do Not Know What We Should Pray For As We Ought Series

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 23, 2024

     | 784 views

    Like all Christians, St. Paul was left wondering how to pray in many challenging situations and trials during his ministry as an Apostle of the Lord. Then, he found how to pray best.

    The words of St Paul, “We do not know what we should pray for as we ought,” I know, ring a bell with all of us Christians. When we are faced with situations that are beyond our grasp and capacity to control, we find ourselves without knowing what we should pray for as we ought. I remember my ...read more

    Sometimes God's blessing creates beautiful problems that require faithful responses, while other times success can lead to spiritual complacency that demands honest restoration.

    The Place Is Too Small 2 Kings 6:1-6 Introduction There comes a moment in every believer's life, in every ministry, and in every congregation when we must honestly assess where we are and where God is calling us to go. Sometimes we find ourselves in seasons of growth that demand expansion, and ...read more

    In this sermon I want you to dwell on the words of the Psalmist, and think about what it means to have an "unfailing love." How does that affect your faith and make you respond to trial in life? What do you trust?

    April 24, 2005 Psalm 33:12-22 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.

    Just as Jesus did the impossible in feeding the multitude with five barley loaves and two small fish, He can do the impossible in our lives when we rely completely upon Him.

    When Jesus Did The Impossible John 6:1-14 In the Sixth Chapter of his gospel, John records a unique incident in the ministry of our Saviour. This event not only confirms the deity of Christ, but also gives us a thrilling insight into the power of Jesus to do the impossible. This miracle is ...read more

    We often make New Year’s resolutions that just "fine-tune" what we already are, but what if God wants to make us completely different, completely new?

    If you look up the word “resolution” in the dictionary, it says “1. A state or quality of being resolute, 2. Firm determination. 3. A course of action determined or decided on. And 4. Resolving to do something. Now, this is the time of year when many of us will make those famous New Year’s ...read more
