    Following Our Call

    Contributed by Christopher Smith on Aug 7, 2003
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,005 views

    We all wait for that call from God, but what do we do when it comes?

    When we hear God’s call, but do not head. The reading this week is a little longer than last, but I decided it was important to read the entire first chapter of Jonah. Everyone is familiar with the story of Jonah being swallowed by the whale, but perhaps not everyone knows why. As we can see ...read more

    That fish gets all the attention, but this book contains a message about the character of God. In these few pages we find a story that reveals to us the power and compassion of God...and along the way, like Jonah, we learn that obedience isn’t optional.

    How Much Is The Fare To Tarshish? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 6, 2003
    based on 35 ratings
     | 20,340 views

    Jonah refused to go to Tarshish because emotionally he felt unwelcome and theologically he thought he could escape God’s oversight. He paid hidden costs, in vain: the loss of a vessel, the loss of joy, human wreckage, reckoning with eternity.

    When I travel, I don’t want to spend too much money on the travel itself. I’d rather spend my money on whatever there is to buy where I’m going. I don’t want to hand much over to the airline or the railroad. I want to travel cheap. But I sometimes miss an important fact – that when I try to ...read more

    We are either fishers of men or fishbait. God has called us for a purpose. We either fulfill that purpose his way or he will have his way with us. God can be convincing whether we like it or not.

    First of five messages on Jonah. God’s directive was clear and Jonah’s defiance was careless resulting in calamity.

The famous lawyer, Clarence Darrow, was making his closing arguments and said of one man’s damaging testimony, “Why, a person could as easily believe this man’s testimony as he could believe that the whale swallowed Jonah.” Well, there were some ...read more

    We can learn some great life lessons from Jonah, this is the first of 4 messages I first preached in 1999. I do not remember who my sources for help were so I cannot give proper credit.

    INTRODUCTION  Over the next four weeks I would like us to take some time to look at the Old Testament book of Jonah.  The Book of Jonah is one of the most ridiculed book by the liberal ‘scholars”.  The story of a fish swallowing a man sounds like a whopper of a fish ...read more
