    Stories abound of folks who began well in the Christian faith, and in ministry, but failed to finish well. What does the Word of God say about how we can be motivated to follow Jesus faithfully to the end?

    I was listening to one of our secular news and talk radio stations one morning this past week. And there was an innocent joke, of all things, about our subject this morning.

    There is a great deal of talk about destiny, yet you may miss your true destiny by failing to be content and seeking for a great position when God wants to make you great in your current position.

    Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

     | 462 views

    Jonah failed to understand the compassionate and merciful nature of God. We as a church must know the heart of God and be actively involved in sharing the good news of the gospel and inviting those outside to be part of God’s Kingdom.

    We read in Jonah 4:8, “And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.” (KJV) As we observe the works of God they astound ...read more

    Jesus never fails. A persons faith is only as good as the object they place it in. We must make sure that our faith in Jesus as He is revealed in Scripture. Not a "Jesus" of our own imagination.

    All He Does is Win! Text: John 18:12-27 Before we get into our text this morning, I’m just going to tell you that what we’re going to be looking at sounds like something that could be pulled from our modern-day news cycle.

    Here we discover, once again, the two central elements in the way God deals with his people. Here we find God’s justice and mercy going hand in hand as he deals with a failed leader.

    Understand the nature of the temptations Satan throws before you, fight them with God’s word and seek forgiveness from Jesus when you fail, knowing that he understands what it’s like to be tempted.

    Do you ever wonder whether these temptations of Jesus were a fair test. After all, he was the Son of God, so Satan was out of his league really, wasn’t he? It wasn’t like you or me being tempted. I mean Satan hardly has to lift a finger and we give in. But then we’re a lot weaker than Jesus. But ...read more
