Sermon # 6 - United With A Purpose Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 13, 2023

Only when we are united in heart, mind and purpose will the people around us know and believe in Jesus. This sermon will teach us what we should do to make this a possibility.

We read in Acts 4:32, “The whole congregation of believers was united as one — one heart, one mind!” (MSG) The testimony about the early church was that though they were numerous, they were all with one heart and one mind.

Sermon # 41 - Forgotten Purpose Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 15, 2025

Jonah did not perceive God’s heart and thereby failed to rejoice when God’s purposes were accomplished in Nineveh. We as a church must have our hearts beat as one with that of God’s and fulfill His purposes to reach the lost and bring them into God’s Kingdom.

We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) In this series we are studying the life of Jonah and comparing it with the church of today, thereby trying to learn some ...read more

Sermon # 11 - Chosen For A Purpose Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 25, 2024

The life of Jonah teaches us that there is nothing we do is hidden from God. Also, we learn that as a church we must be certain of our identity and our purpose so we can glorify God through all we are and all we do.

We read in Jonah 1:7-8, Then the men said to each other, "We should throw lots to find out why this is happening to us." So the men threw lots. The lots showed that the troubles came to them because of Jonah. Then the men said to Jonah, "It is your fault that this terrible thing is ...read more
