The Disturbance Of Jonah

Contributed by Melvin Shelton on Oct 5, 2005

The misconduct of one statesman can lay waste a nation. It only takes one drunk driver on the highway to leave a scar and an empty chair in a family.

Disturbance Jonah 1:4-6 This is our third lesson in the book of Jonah. If we could take one word and maybe describe the first two verses, we would have to say duty.

Contributed by Melvin Shelton on Oct 18, 2005

The sailors had been in many storms no doubt, but there was something different about this one.

The Debarkation Of Jonah

Contributed by Melvin Shelton on Nov 15, 2005

Sin never advertises itself truthfully. It only talks about how nice it is going to be in Tarshish and that you should go there. But it never tells you about the storm you are going to encounter resulting in you being thrown overboard.
