The Simple Gospel Church

We continue with the book of Esther; we see God's divine providence and outworking, and we understand the consequences of pride, hatred, ambition, and impatience in the life of Haman. We see how patience and humility (fruits of the spirit) were at work in Esther and Mordecai's lives. It teaches us to be patient in times of trouble, in our walk with God, and in times of reward.

Today, we examine the book of Esther, chapters 4 and 5. We learn about the courage and faith of Mordecai in the face of adversity and how he knew and trusted God alone to save His people. We see how Esther received revelation and instruction through prayer and fasting in the place of fellowship and obedience. We also learn about our place in all of this in how we treat others and how Christ sees u...

We learn how the disobedience of a single man affects the destiny of a man and a nation, and we also see how much God detests sin. We should be quick to repentance as believers; we should not have to be told before we fall in His presence and ask for His forgiveness because His mercy is available for those who genuinely want to repent.

Part 9 of out Midweek Series (A Journey Through Jonah). Target Scripture: 1st John 4:1-6 In the final episode of this series, we look at a review of all we’ve leant over the past 2 months.

Today, we examine who our neighbor includes—our enemies who have hurt us, inflicted pain, and so on—emphasizing our enemies and reminding ourselves of how humanity reached the point of hating our enemies. It was not stated at any point in the law that we should hate our enemies. God has called us to show love to all, as He has also shown us love. Christ came to correct the corruption of God's...

Part 8 of out Midweek Series (A Journey Through Jonah). Target Scripture: Jonah 4: 4-11 In this episode, we look at who God is. God is patient, God is compassionate in His love and God is kind.

Part 7 of out Midweek Series (A Journey Through Jonah). Target Scripture: Jonah 4:1-4 In this episode, we look at the heart of Jonah and his understanding of God. For example, Jonah had an issue reconciling the fact that God was both a judge and a merciful God. It’s difficult for Christians to understand these “contradictions” with Christ. Jonah also saw God as a means to an end. A story we’ve all...

Part 6 of out Midweek Series (A Journey Through Jonah). Target Scripture: Jonah 3:1-10 In this episode, we discuss how Nineveh’s corruption mattered and one of the things we see is that oppression between individuals occurs and this matters to God.

Part 5 of out Midweek Series (A Journey Through Jonah). Target Scripture: Jonah 2:1-10 In this episode, we discuss how God shows humiliation as an act of divine mercy.

Today's teaching speaks about the relationship between thanksgiving and a repentant heart. A repentant heart uses possessions, positions, and power wisely. A heart of thanksgiving sees itself as nothing before God and does not care about other people.

Part 4 of out Midweek Series (A Journey Through Jonah). Target Scripture: Jonah 1: 11-17 In this episode, we discuss that a selfishheart is a heart of sin. We also look at God’s feelings about sin. There are parallels between Jonah and Jesus. But most importantly, we learn about how easy it is to do what God wants. Unlike Jonah who disobeyed first.

Today, we explore the book of Luke 7:36-50, and we take a look at the story of the woman (sinner) who washed and wiped Jesus's feet with her hair, kissed it, and anointed it, and how Jesus forgave her of her sins. She is a reflection of man as a sinner and our inability to atone for our sins by ourselves. Our response to God's forgiveness should be service, worship, sacrifice, and love.

Target Scripture: Jonah 1: 7-10 In this message we study the parallels between Jonah's experience in the boat during the storm and the Christian life.

In today's teaching, we learn that Jesus is always ready to meet with us; he never hides or keeps away from us. We learn that Jesus meets us at the point of our faith, what we have decided to hold on to about him by our measure of faith at a particular moment; that is what He does for us. We also learn to recognize our need, resign to our life in Christ, and remain in Him.

In the teaching for today, Rev Billy teaches on the miracle of the lame man in Jerusalem. There is a lesson on evangelism here. God doesn't do things just because. He does things for us so that the glory can return to Him and we can tell others of His wondrous works.
