Rescued By A Merciful God Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 28, 2020

Out of desperation Jonah offers a foxhole prayer; with no repentance, blaming God, self-righteousness and false piety. God's mercy still continues to be shown to Jonah as God rescues Jonah. It is an unanticipated outcome.

Message Jonah 2:1-10 Rescued by a Merciful God The story is told of an emergency meeting of the church council called by the senior pastor. At the end of the meeting with nothing accomplished, the pastor looked around and then said, “There’s nothing left to do but to pray!” One of the overseers ...read more

When God Takes Us Fishing

Last week we heard about The Minor Old Testament Prophet Habakkuk, minor because the book that bears his name is short, only 3 chapters long as opposed to The Major Old Testament Prophet Isaiah whose book is 66 chapters.

Jonah's Song Of Repentance Series

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Sep 29, 2013

We too often believe the lie that things are meant to destroy us. Whether a violent storm or big fish what we think is meant to destroy us is actually designed by God to develop us.

Intro: Think about this as we look at chapter 2 of Jonah. What did Jonah deserve? He deserved to be a man taco for a big fish. What did he get? God’s mercy. Jonah had already received God’s grace. God did not completely destroy Jonah or the Ship in the violent storm. God as a ...read more
