It's just not easy to keep from getting rained on and buffeted around when the storm is coming, no matter what means you use to take shelter.

The Stubborn Evangelist Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Note: The entire book of Jonah is read before I preach. Today we launch a new four part series entitled Jonah: The Stubborn Evangelist. And it is coming at just the right time for our church (more on the timing in just a moment). Most only know it as an amusing story about a prophet and a “whale.” ...read more
