Setting Our Minds On Divine Things

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 12, 2024

Jesus taught his disciples to set their minds on divine things such as denying themselves and taking up their crosses to follow him. He added to that statements about "losing" our lives and to not be ashamed of the Gospel. What does all this mean?

Sermon # 44 - God Is Mindful Of Us Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 24, 2025

Jonah sat outside the city of Nineveh in the blazing heat fuming against God, but God graciously appointed a plant to grow and give shade to Jonah. No matter what our situation is, let’s remember that God is mindful of us and He will never leave us nor forsake us.

So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant.” (ESV) God gave Jonah a task to go and preach against ...read more
