Continuing the sermon series on Choosing a Mate, this sermon adds two more principles to the ones already presented in Part One. The first is to seek someone with Godly character and the last principle is to seek God and His kingdom then let God seek your mate.

Christ cares deeply for us, has our best interest at heart in all things and longs for us to be free to live the victorious Christian life. The question is how can we be set free from the power of sin in our lives? This sermon continues to look into Colossians 3 for answers to that question.

The Bible teaches the ‘person I was’ is gone and that I am a new person in Christ. But often it doesn’t feel new because we are still struggling with sin and seem to be living far from a life of victory. Colossians 3 shows how it is possible to live a victorious Christian life.

Is it possible to be a Christian and continue to maintain a habitually sinful lifestyle? If we are dead to sin, then why do we still struggle with sin? How can we possibly live a holy life? This sermon on Colossians 3 seeks to answer those question.

Paul articulates, beginning in Colossians 3, how the lordship of Jesus will impact our values, attitudes and behaviors going forward. Many people embrace Jesus for what He can do for them but if they are really honest, they really have no intention to follow Him or to live for Him. The sermon begins to describes how a surrendered life would be lived.

This is the first sermon in the series on Choosing a Mate. Two principles are presented. The first principle is to be content as a single before you seek your mate. The second principle is to seek someone who is spiritually compatible with you.

Jonah was more concerned with his own comfort than for the lives of the people of Nineveh. He did not want them to receive grace. Though he called their city "wicked," throughout this book God calls the city "great." God has great concern and compassion for the people. In this message Pastor Ashwin Ramani challenges us, "do you understand and reflect God's heart for our city?"

Have you ever found that you want grace for yourself, but justice for others? In this message Pastor Ashwin Ramani preaches on Jonah's response to God forgiving the Ninevites. Though it may seem strange to us that Jonah would be angry at God for extending grace and forgiveness, Ashwin points out that all of us are capable of similar "Jonah moments." Jesus instructed us to love our enemies; to pray for them and wish the best for them. Today you are invited to open your heart to the transforming power of Jesus so that he may help you love those you hate, can't forgive, and hold prejudices against.

Have you ever felt that you were beyond the reach of God's grace? In this message pastor Kent Priebe speaks from Jonah 3. God uses Jonah to bring repentance and grace the the entire city of Ninavah - a miracle that is more amazing than Jonah surviving in the belly of a fish! Not only does God give Jonah a second chance, he gives the people of Ninavah a second chance. In the same way, God is extending a second chance to you, and to those around you, through you. God's capacity to forgive is limitless. How will you respond to this grace?

Alone and surrounded by utter darkness in the belly of a whale, Jonah restores his relationship with God. Have you ever felt that you have run so far that not even God could reach you where you were? Pastor Ashwin addresses this in the next installment of the Jonah series. God has the power to raise you from your deepest darkness!
