    #3 of 4 on Jonah. This message contrasts the heartless obedience of Jonah with the heartfelt repentance of the people of Nineveh. I am endebted to Dan Baumgartner of Bethany Presbyterian for many thoughts.

    Four questions God asks Every Believer Where Are You Going? Where Do You Come From? What Are You Doing? What Do You Care About? This morning we return again to the Old Testament story of Jonah… Jonah and the big fish. And again this morning, I would encourage you not to get bogged down by ...read more

    When the Almighty, Omnipotent Creator God asks, "What do you want Me to do for you?", the wise thing would be to give it careful thought before responding.

    “James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesus, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.” 36 And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?” 37 They said to Him, “Grant that we may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory.” 38 But ...read more

    Many times we end up doing things for the wrong reasons I thought it would be a good time to explain why we take communion every week

    A church had an unusual ritual every Sunday morning. • Before the church sang the Doxology, they would stand up, • everyone would turn to the right and face a blank white wall, • and they would sang. • Every Sunday they did this • Finally a visitor to the church was confused and asked, • “Why ...read more

    In fact, David writes it once at the beginning of the Psalm and once at the end. His thought is, "O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!"

    In the movie, Facing the Giants, the team thought the playoffs were impossible, but Coach Taylor challenged them to believe God. What causes us to give up on the seemingly impossible?

    Sherwood Baptist Church has one of the most dynamic media ministries of any church in America. They have produced Facing the Giants, arguably the best feature-length movie ever made by a local church. It’s a God-glorifying, excellently created sports film in the tradition of Hoosiers, Remember ...read more

     | 5,127 views

    Each of us gets to choose the thoughts on which our minds dwell. Paul suggests dwelling on whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, admirable, and worthy of praise.

    Where does you mind dwell? What kind of thoughts occupy your thinking most to the day? It’s an interesting question to which most of us would probably reply, “I haven’t really thought about it.” The Apostle Paul encouraged the people who were the church in Phillipi and the people who are the ...read more

    This lesson talks about how Jesus was laid in a manger because there was no room for him in the inn. Then compares that thought with our hearts as an inn and if we have room for Jesus in us.

    A god is a person/thing occupying the place of preeminence. It is anything/one that dominates your thoughts and emotions (accepting worship) or anything/one that controls your actions (demanding service).

    Love is not simply a component of life but love is an intent, a purpose, that causes thoughts, words & acts of everyday life. This intent to love was the need of the Corinthians, & this is still our need today.
