This is the conclusion of our series in the Book of Jonah. This was a hard sermon that challenged our congregation to examine how we are like Jonah, and what we should do about it.
Jonah Concluded Text: Jonah 4:5 – 11 So we’re finishing up in Jonah today… I thought after last week I’d be done with it, but as I was re-reading it… just going over it one last time to see if the Lord would have me say any more on this book. I realized that I ...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

This is a message about dealing with Jonah’s that have gotten into your boat and are causing much hardship, and what to do with them.
Dealing with Personal Jonah’s, and throwing them overboard Text: Jonah 1:4-14 Last week we talked about Jonah fleeing from the presence of God and what it cost Jonah to do that, and God’s counterattack to his rebellion. We said Jonah’s rebellion: Cost Jonah the smile on God’s face, the peace in ...read more

This is a sermon I wrote for my nephew’s funeral. Rate it if you want to but I am sharing it in part to offer an example of a funeral for a 10 year old. Also it is a tribute to my nephew. Hope you are blessed by it.
FUNERAL FOR JONAH DUECK No one can imagine what it feels like for Richard and Connie to have watched Jonah pass away. None of us here, even if you have lost someone in a similar way, can empathize with their pain. I believe it is a personal pain that is unique to them. That does not stop us from ...read more

Jonah is now ready to do the will of God. Are we ready?
INTRODUCTION Last week we left Jonah on the beach, probably dazed and confused from his taxi ride on the great fish. God got Jonah’s attention, now he was ready to listen to God. God had a plan to use Jonah, the reluctant prophet, in a mighty way. I believe that ...read more
Scripture: Jonah 3:1-10
Jonah’s heart is revealed as not right and God is concerned with the conversion of people more than we are.
Jonah 4 What makes you angry? Do you get angry very easily? Anger is such an important emotion but it is also a very revealing emotion. It tells us something is wrong – the problem is it does not tell us if the thing which is wrong is outside or inside us. We get angry because something is not ...read more

God wanted to spare the people of Nineveh. He didn't want them to face his judgement. But first, he had to save his servant Jonah. Being inside a big fish in the depths of the sea wasn't Jonah's real problem.
Today we’re continuing our series in Jonah. My first talk was titled ‘God of compassion’. Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, was wicked. God described it as wicked and historians tell us that Assyria was wicked. It wasn’t just a little bit wicked. One historian of the Middle East wrote that ...read more
This sermon illustrates the importance of all individuals being willing to share Christ.

Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20
God relentlessly pursues us with grace, even when we run or resist, inviting us to trust His presence and respond to His call.
Some of us know the sound of God’s whisper as well as we know our own name. It comes in the quiet of a morning commute, in the nudge you can’t shake, in the Scripture that lands like a letter with your address on it. And some of us know the sound of our feet when they’re running in the opposite ...read more

We can go on living as though this world were everything, and there is no eternal world or great God to whom we are accountable. But when Christ returns will each one of us account for your life with joy?
Opening illustration: God awakened me when I went to work in the Middle East. Till then I was just a lukewarm and laidback Christian. I saw the great need for the Gospel of Christ to be proclaimed to the so many lost souls there. They had no idea that they were perishing and there was only one way ...read more
