Sermon # 42 - Time To Rise Up Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 17, 2025

Jonah was seated in the wrong place waiting for God to pour out His wrath on the city of Nineveh. There were many others in the Bible who were in the wrong place like Jonah. If we are in such a place, God reminds us to rise up and go, to fulfill His purposes for our lives.

We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) God sent the prophet Jonah to the city of Nineveh with a message. When Jonah preached, the people of Nineveh received the ...read more
