Series: On Mission...Having a Missional Mindset Original: September 15, 2024 Speaker: Miles Bridges

Last week, we saw the power of God’s Word when the Ninevites heard It and turned from their wicked ways. Then, God showed compassion and did not destroy them. We should be willing to share God’s Word with those around us. In Chapter 1, we saw Jonah Going Down as he was thrown over the side of the ship. In Chapter 2, we saw Jonah Coming Up as the great fish vomited him on the shore. In Chapter 3, w...

Last week, we looked at what some people call “unbelievable.” We read about Jonah’s time in the belly of the great fish. There is no doubt that Chapter 2 describes a miracle, but what we see in Chapter 3 may be an even greater miracle. Today, we will see God’s Word turning a group of people from their wicked ways. Today, we will see Jonah as he Goes Into Nineveh and preaches a five-word sermon tha...

Last week, we looked at a selfish man who just happened to be a prophet of God. Jonah got a Word from the Lord to: Jonah 1:2  "Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.” The people of Nineveh were Jonah’s enemies, so he ran from God and God’s calling. We closed the message with: Jonah 1:17  But the Lord provided a great fish to swallo...

Most of us remember the story of Jonah from our childhood Sunday school classes. We may recall the songs, the drawings of Jonah inside of the great fish, and the repentance of Nineveh at the end of this great Old Testament story. The songs were fine, the drawings were precious, but Jonah’s story doesn’t end with the repentance of Nineveh. For the next 4-weeks, I invite you to delve into God’s Word...

Luke 8:40-56 NKJV

Last week we saw God’s reply to Habakkuk’s second complaint. After giving him the answer in the second half of Habakkuk 2:4  but the righteous will live by his faith— , God goes on to pronounce five woes on the Babylonians. We called them the: 1 - Woe of Greed, 2 - Woe of Gluttony, 3 - Woe of Violence, 4 - Woe of Lust, and 5 - Woe of Idolatry These woes weren’t pronounced against people in our day...

Last week we saw Habakkuk’s second complaint. He was still confused after hearing God’s first reply, and he gave the Lord a series of questions once again. As Chapter 1 closes, one may think that Habakkuk had given up hope in God answering him, but listen to the first verse of Chapter 2: Habakkuk 2:1  I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say...

Last week we took a brief look at the entire Book of Habakkuk along with seeing his first complaints. He complained about what he called injustice. Things weren’t going how Habakkuk thought they should, and naturally, he pushed the blame onto God. Much like us, Habakkuk never considered that the decisions and actions of his people may be causing the issues they were experiencing. Today, we will se...

Last week, we finished up our sermon series through the Book of Philippians. May we continue Pressing On Toward the Goal of Christlikeness! Today, we will begin a five-week series through the Book of Habakkuk. The overarching theme of this series is: Why? As we move through life, many of us have questions about problems that arise:Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do innocent people die...

Last week, we talked about “Strife” within the church. We saw Paul sharing that the key to keeping Strife out of the church is to remain focused on: The Main Thing - Jesus Christ Peace - that He gives The Good - that He will do through us Today, we will finish our sermon series through the Book of Philippians. Our overarching theme has been Pressing on Toward the Goal, and that goal is Christliken...

Last week, we were able to finish our two-part message titled: Pressing On Toward the Goal. We talked about this “Goal” being Christlikeness. As we press on, we should Be a Good Example as we seek to live the Christ life. We should Recognize Reality, and that is that in the church, some have an Earthly Mindset and others have a Heavenly Mindset. And finally, we should Stand Firm on the Rock that i...

Three weeks ago, we looked at Part 1 of a message that bears the name of our sermon series through the Book of Philippians: Pressing On Toward the Goal. We talked about the confidence that comes from our faith producing Awareness, Motivation, and Consistency in our lives. The lost and dying world around us needs to see all of these exuding from the church. We should look radically different than s...

Last week, we made it about halfway through our message on where we find our Confidence. Today, we will finish up this message as we see the difference between finding our confidence in works versus faith. May we not forget that works are temporal, and faith in Christ is eternal. We will then move on to the first part of a message called “Pressing On Toward the Goal.” As Christ-followers, we find...
