    Repentance needs to lead to future avoidance if we are to live for Christ.

    Have you ever wondered why there are so many tales of failure in God’s Word ... so many indications of how people have failed in life? This suggests two things to me, among many others.

    INTRODUCTION I don’t really like watching television commercials. So when I want to watch a program or a golf match, I’ll usually record it on my TiVo.

    Sermon # 48 - No Room For Rebellion Series

     | 401 views

    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
