Set Us Free: A Character Study of Jonah 1:5

Jonah 1:4-5

This week we focus on the issues of finding security and stability by unbiblical means.

Jonah is often referred to as the “Missionary Prophet” and yet his thought life was so out of sync with God’s will that he rebels at every turn. In his best moments, he is reluctant and in his worst moments he is faithless, consumed by his emotions, obsessed with his circumstances, and full of fear. As a ministry of missions-minded young people, how do we avoid falling prey to a thought life that hinders fellowship with God and stunts fruitfulness in our lives?

The Acts of the Apostles: God's Work of Deliverance

Acts 12:1-11

Many of us have a false narrative in our minds about what it means to be the child of God. Being a Christian does not guarantee us an easy life, in facts it’s a warrant for suffering.

The Acts of the Apostles: A Truer Purpose

Acts 10:1-8

In this sermon we are introduced to the mighty and meek Roman Centurion Cornelius.
