-We Are Acts.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Feb 24, 2024

Luke and Acts give us a great look at the ascension. How Jesus handled Himself for 40 days before He was taken up! Powerful!

Sermon # 35 - The Heart Of A Christian Leader Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 19, 2024

Jonah was a prophet of God, but he did not understand the loving heart of God towards a repentant people. The heart of Moses as a leader of the Israelites and the forgiving heart of Jesus are the best examples of how a Christian leader should love and care for the people under his or her care.

We read in Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) There are two kinds of emotions that Jonah expressed as mentioned in the verse above, one was sadness, and the other was anger. As we meditate on this portion of scripture, we will try to understand the reasons for ...read more
