Partial Obedience (2 Kings 14)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 25, 2025

What happens to those who start obediently, but turn back? Let's look at 2 Kings 14.

What is the result of partial obedience? Will we remain faithful or slide backwards? Let’s look at Amaziah the 9th king of Judah in 2 Kings 14. Was Amaziah a somewhat good king?

Sermon # 26 - Faith Coupled With Obedience Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 11, 2025

The beliefs we must commit ourselves to when facing suffering are: 1. God is good, even when life is bad. 2. God can redeem the evil that comes into our lives. 3. We must do the right thing, even when it does not seem to pay off.

Those of you who have seen the classic movie Fiddler on the Roof remember the scene where Tevye, the main character, is walking on a dusty road, pulling both a milk cart and a lame horse.

Like Joseph, the foster father of our Lord Jesus, may we trust in God’s protecting care...with a faith like Joseph’s that listens...with a faith like Joseph’s that obeys.

Sermon # 17 - Stop Striving - Start Trusting Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 16, 2024

While Jonah the prophet of God thought of no one but himself, the mariners who were unbelievers were so concerned about him. The church needs to be filled with those who have compassion for the lost, who depend on entirely on the Lord and lead many into His Kingdom.

We read in Jonah 1:11-14, The storm was getting worse all the time, so the sailors asked him, “What should we do to you to stop the storm?” Jonah answered, “Throw me into the sea, and it will calm down. I know it is my fault that you are caught in this violent storm.” Instead, the sailors tried to ...read more

What you focus on when the issue is impossible is very telling of where your trust is. Our responsibility in life is to trust Jesus, to desire more of Him. We are to learn from the lessons being played out before us, and still lean on Him always.

Contributed by David Owens on Oct 30, 2023

What should Christians think and do about the conflict in the Middle East. Does God still have a plan for the nation of Israel? These are important questions. Trusting God and praying for peace are the most important things we can do.

Who Do You Trust?

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 25, 2025

God is in control, even when the world seems out of control. Kings, Presidents, and Prime Ministers can’t fix everything. Legislation can’t make people ethical. Psalm 146 makes that clear: “Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save.”

We live in a broken world. What can we do about it? We could anxiously obsess over all the turmoil and moral decay, or rest in God. Worry is fretting over things we can’t control. Prayer is taking our concerns to the One who can change things. God is in control, even when the world seems out ...read more
