    Sermon # 48 - No Room For Rebellion Series

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

    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

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 14, 2023
     | 1,373 views

    The righteousness of the natural man is sick and putrid and corrupt. All have sinned and not one seeks God or pursues righteousness. What does “good” really mean? The whole body is sick with sin, and evil rapidly spreads.

Paul reveals many unpalatable facts but it is God speaking so we must heed what God says! Always heed what God says ...read more

    "Let brotherly love continue" is the command in Hebrews 13, but "continuing" springs forth from remembering where it came from. It came from Jesus. We live Him because He first loved us. How do we "keep Jesus love flowing and moving in our life? Hebrews 13 tells us.

    Let me ask you a question today: “Was Hitler a believer?” The answer is simple. Yes, but a believer in what? He was a believer in a godless society.
