    Those who backslide and rebel against God are in for a rough ride, as depicted by the story of Jonah, God’s stubborn prophet. But repentance will set everything right, and put us on course once again.

    Backslider On A Bumpy Boat Text: Jonah 2: 1-2 Intro: The Book of Jonah is considered to be one of the Minor Prophets. It is a relatively short book, containing only four chapters, 48 verses, and 1,321 words. Yet it holds great truths that can readily be applied to Christians of any age. This ...read more

    What God Is Looking For…

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on May 7, 2009
     | 2,281 views

    After seeing the disciples of Jesus hiding in the upper room it is hard to imagine that they had any vision of their own. That is why it is important to understand how God sees things and what he is watching for.

    Last week we looked at the slowness of Easter’s arrival for the disciples. They were locked away in a room. They were full of fear and doubts. Jesus appears, it would be easy to claim that that fixed everything for the disciples. But it did not; we know that if we read through the different ...read more

    Divine grace cannot be divorced from human responsibility. The bestowing of the riches of covenant grace are for those who are genuinely willing to turn away from sin to follow God alone.

    ZECHARIAH 1:1-6 REPENTANCE PRECEDES RESTORATION [Haggai 1:1-11 / 2 Chronicles 7:14] The visions of God showering His people with the riches of divine treasure must first be prefaced by the message that travels parallel down the track, arm in arm with divine blessings. The eternal truth which ...read more

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jan 19, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,228 views

    Being a dedicated disciple of Christ should not be taken lightly. The life of a disciple demands that one's relationship with Christ be without rival, without refusal, and without retreat.

    Demands For Dedicated Discipleship Text: Luke 9:23; 14:27 & 33 Intro: Quite often, when people think about Christ’s twelve disciples, they do so from sort of a romantic, idealistic frame of mind. They think about how wonderful it must have been to walk and talk with Jesus—to hear ...read more

    A story that telss the big story. A very unusual type sermon but one that my congregation responded to very well

    Easter Preach-Off The message that I will preach today is likely one of the most unusual you will ever hear me preach. I generally am the kind of preacher that uses a title and an outline and I usually try to stay somewhere near a homiletical style of preaching. You know 3 or 4 points and poem, ...read more

     | 2,686 views

    What was it that transformed a semi-defeated Bible study group meeting in an upper room in Jerusalem into this highly energized, Holy Spirit empowered, life-giving local church? The inundation of 3000 new converts on Pentecost Day.

    Building Bigger Hearts for Lost People I would like to start with a multiple-choice question: Which of these would most likely transform the average sleepy, tradition-bound local church into a dynamic, fired-up, community of faith? Which of the following events? A) Burning the hymnbooks, and ...read more
