    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 1, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 971 views

    When the men on the ship realized that Jonah was the cause for their serious predicament they asked him, ‘Why have you done this?’ May we as children of God not do anything that will dishonor God and be a hindrance to those outside the church.

    We read in Jonah 1:10, Then the men were terrified. They knew that he was running away from the LORD, because he had told them. They asked Jonah, "Why have you done this?" (GW) The prophet Jonah who received the word of God to go to Nineveh, disobeyed God, and undertook a voyage on a ...read more

    Why Does God Speak In A Still Small Voice?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 2, 2024
     | 916 views

    How often do we, as Christians, take time to listen to the voice of God? Does He have to talk to us with a raised voice or a quiet one?

    Before we attempt to provide an answer to our question, let us take a moment, look at the Scripture, and gather a history of the situation. In preceding chapter, Elijah has rebuked the evil king Ahab and has had a contest with the evil prophets, wins the contest, and has the evil prophets slain. ...read more

    Why do we Pray? Why do we read our Bibles daily? Why do we Give? Why are we at the Church when the doors are open? Do we think that by doing these things that we are earning "points" with God? Are we trying to obligate God to bless us? Duty or Desire?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 31, 2017
     | 4,341 views

    This sermon answers two big questions: 1. Why do I need the Law to make me aware of my sin? 2. Why would I want the Law to make me aware of my sin?

    A Question: “If it can’t save us, why did God give the Law?” - Romans 3:19-20. - To clarify as we begin: when Paul here speaks of the Law, he has in mind the Mosaic Law given to Israel by God. - By extension, we could make similar point about the truth of God generally. - The Law does not save ...read more
