Freed For Joyful Obedience (2003)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 23, 2021

Until we are justified in our actions, we are separated by sin away from God. That separation causes us to feel guilty and it denies us the feeling of joy that comes from being reconciled to God in and through Jesus Christ!

FREED FOR JOYFUL OBEDIENCE Text: Hebrews 9:11-14 Charles Colson mentioned that whenever questioned by curious people in the media about which of his Watergate perfidies [sins] (deliberate acts of betrayal of trust) made him feel the most remorseful, he replies honestly and invariably ...read more

Sermon # 23 - The Blessings Of Obedience Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 5, 2024

When disobedient Jonah repented and agreed to obey God, his life was spared to bless an entire city. The blessings of God on those who choose to be obedient to His word is beyond human understanding, and they also become a great blessing to many.

We read in Jonah 2:10, And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land. (ESV) When the fish obeyed If I were to rephrase the above mentioned verse this is how I would say it, ‘An obedient fish vomited a disobedient prophet out on the dry land’.

Sermon # 5 - No Fear In Obedience Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 4, 2024

Jonah chose to disobey God and ended up in a tumultuous storm. Are we walking in obedience to God and His word or are we trying to compromise and please people? Here’s a word of caution from the life of Jonah that if God is against us, there is no one who can save us.

We read in Jonah 1:5, “Then the mariners were afraid,” (ESV) The mariners were filled with dread when they saw that the sea was so tumultuous and beyond their control. They therefore, feared that the ship would be wrecked, their goods destroyed and they would lose their lives in the process. I am ...read more

Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 30, 2022

The story of King Saul’s utter demise unfolds in 1 Samuel 15. The man who stood head and shoulders above all the people is imploding like a skyscraper building with the walls blown out.

The bigger they are the harder they fall. It is dramatic to see a skyscraper building brought to the ground. Dynamite blows out the walls and the building collapses to the ground. What once filled the skyline becomes reduced to a pile of rubble. The story of King Saul’s utter demise unfolds in 1 ...read more
