Sermon # 50 - Which Side Are You On? Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 18, 2025

As Jonah fretted and fumed that God withheld His judgement on the people of Nineveh, God saw a people who were ignorant and could not decipher between right and wrong. God calls the church to disciple their members, and grow them in maturity so all will be found in God’s eternal Kingdom.

Let us thank the Lord for the many lessons we learnt from the life of Jonah. We have come to the final part of this study. When I began this series, I did not expect that it would be such a long one, and I am grateful to the Lord for all that we have learned in this process, and all glory to God ...read more

Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Jun 17, 2022

Before we display our reaction of anger, what should we think first?

The Priority Of Persons Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The lesson that Jonah needed to learn to bring him to his senses, and the lesson all of us must be conscious of is that persons are ends in them selves and not means. The state and the church exist for the welfare of persons.

A little boy who had shown a fit of temper was scolded by his mother and sent to his room. He was told to pray that his temper might be reformed. His mother followed him and listened at the door to see if he would. This is what she heard: "O, Lord, please take away my bad temper, and while ...read more

Are All Who Die In Infancy Saved? Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The Biblical basis for the belief that all infants who die are saved is the atonement of Christ which releases all from the penalty of original sin so that none parish for Adam's sin, but only for their own personal transgressions.

While visiting in the hospital I met a woman who was anxious to talk about the salvation of infants who die without baptism. She had good reason to be searching for information to give her hope. 18 years ago she lost a baby girl who had not been baptized. Her pastor came to call on her, and she ...read more

Who Cares About Cattle? Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

Henry Bergh was the founder of the American Humane Movement, which about one hundred and thirty years ago brought about the first child protective laws in this country. He drew attention to the case of Mary Ellen who was beaten, and the chained by her parents. This led to laws being passed. Very ...read more

Are You Angry With God? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 30, 2021

When we want to yell curses at God, perhaps we first should ask if our peril has somehow been brought on by our own stupid decision somewhere.

Wednesday of the 27th Week in Course Have you ever been angry with God? I don’t mean you feel inconvenienced by something that happens–a fender-bender, a sudden rain shower that leaves you without an umbrella, an extra-long work day–no, I mean really upsetting things.
