    Paul exposes the guilty hypocrite, examines the kindness of God, then speaks of the wrath of God against sin stored up on account. In these last days, men’s hearts are like concrete reinforced with tungsten steel. They do not want to repent.

    Sermon # 44 - God Is Mindful Of Us Series

    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.

    For our meditation let us look at Jonah 4:6, “Now the LORD God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant.” (ESV) God gave Jonah a task to go and preach against ...read more

    Many Christians believe they are "faith people" when in reality they are living in more unbelief than they are faith. This message looks at the one thing causes us to be "faith people" or people who are living in unbelief.

    You are the blessed of the Lord and I want to say something on the frontend for you to remember as we go through the message. You often hear “God does extraordinary things through ordinary people.” How many of you have heard that? It’s not true. You see, we are born ordinary. We are born with a ...read more

    Do you know the word "trying" appears once in the Bible and it's not about attempting to do something and failing? Trying has become "the" excuse as to why we fail to do what God has called, empowered and commanded us to do.

    The last time we were together, we began looking at ways of thinking that the Apostle Paul describes as “strong holds.” Found only in 2 Corinthians 10:4, “strongholds” are wrong thoughts and beliefs about God that have been emotionally hardwired into our minds that hinder, what 2 Timothy 2:4 ...read more

    Only in and through Jesus can we be saved, and our sins be forgiven. There is power and authority in the name of Jesus, and only if we comprehend this in its fullest can we actualize it in our lives.

    We read in Exodus 20:7,"Never use the name of the LORD your God carelessly. The LORD will make sure that anyone who carelessly uses his name will be punished.” (GW) We have been studying in details as to how the moral laws of God as given in the Old Testament, are still applicable to ...read more

    We excuse everything with "I don’t care", but when we see the eyes of those we have offended and hear them speak, we know that we have hurt them. When we see Christ and hear Him at the cross, we can no longer pretend that we don’t care.

    I “I don’t care.” That was the mechanism I used as a boy to fend off whatever punishment my parents gave. “You’re grounded.” “I don’t care”. “No allowance this week.” I don’t care.” And, to tell the truth, I didn’t care. I would just go to some quiet corner and get a book and read. I was ...read more
