    Guilt is a terrible task master. Based upon the knowledge of our sins, such guilt can cause many to fear God. But God’s grace deals with both our sin and our fear. How does it do that?

    OPEN: Many people are very suspicious. They’ll collect rabbit’s feet. They’ll put horseshoes upside down to collect luck. And they’ll avoid various things like letting black cats cross their path or allowing themselves to walk under ladders. But one of the most famous fears people have is of ...read more

     | 309 views

    Those who seek God with all their heart and put their faith in His Son Jesus will experience an amazing transformation in their lives and will become a blessing to many. Abraham in the Old Testament and Paul in the New Testament are great examples of those who truly sought God.

    We read in Genesis 12:4, “When Abram was seventy-five years old, he started out from Haran, as the LORD had told him to do; and Lot went with him.” (GNB) Abram was seventy five years old, when he ventured out on the journey that God asked him to undertake.

    Sermon # 47 - Avoid The Hot East Wind Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 10, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 209 views

    God sent the hot east wind to rebuke the prophet Jonah. If we want to avoid the hot east wind from blowing over our lives we must set aside pride and disobedience and live in humility and obedience to the sovereign Lord.

    Our meditation is based on Jonah 4:8, “After the sun had risen, God sent a hot east wind, and Jonah was about to faint from the heat of the sun beating down on his head. So he wished he were dead. "I am better off dead than alive," he said.” (GNB) Jonah was a prophet of God who preached ...read more

    The message is a brief look at the transformation of Saul of Tarsus into the Apostle to the Gentiles. The maturation is not an unreachable goal for us as Christians; it is rather a model for our own growth toward maturity in Christ.

    “For some days [Saul] was with the disciples at Damascus. And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, ‘He is the Son of God.’ And all who heard him were amazed and said, ‘Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name?
