    Listen Like A Fish

    Contributed by Rodney Hall on Jan 19, 2017
     | 8,775 views

    Obeying the voice of God the first time you are told

    There is much to be said and much to be learned about a preacher named Jonah. God had a message to send the people of Ninevah and the mouthpiece He chose to use decided to go a different way. How many times in my life I have chose to go the wrong direction when God spoke. In the first chapter and ...read more

     | 1,984 views

    I tell you there comes a time in your life when none and nothing can save you but ONLY GOD. Amen. God meets you personally and His ears are inclined to your pleas when you shut the doors for prayer!

    Get up and call on your god! Jonah 1:6 The captain went to him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us so that we will not perish.” 1) SURROUNDED BY STORM Jonah 1: 4 Then the LORD sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that ...read more

    "Enough Is Enough" - I Am On The Run by Rev. Timothy G. Porter Jonah 1:1-17 Introduction: Have you ever made a lousy decision? As you’re laughing, you’re probably really thinking, “What do you mean?” A bad decision. “I’ve made more than I can ...read more

    Why Would God Stoop To Reveal His Will Through Dice Tossed By Pagan Sailors Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 27, 2013
     | 3,713 views

    God reveals Jonah's guilt through dice tossed by pagan sailors. It's so undignified. Why would God stoop to reveal His will in such a way?

    REALLY, GOD? Why would God stoop to reveal His will through dice tossed by pagan sailors? - Jonah 1:7. - When you think about this situation, it just all seems so undignified. We’ve got these sailors (whom we can safely presume were not having Sunday School on the ship) rolling dice and ...read more

     | 3,866 views

    Everyone believes in prayer in a crisis and that's an opportunity for us to point them to God.

    AN OPEN DOOR: Everyone believes in prayer in a crisis. - Jonah 1:6 – “The captain went to him and said, ‘How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god!’” - In the section, notice two things: a. It’s the captain that asks Jonah to pray. - Now, there’s ...read more

    Jonah's Song Of Repentance Series

     | 6,648 views

    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

    The Parts Of Our Lives That Are Off-Limits To God Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 2, 2013
     | 5,153 views

    A look at how we only let God into certain parts of our lives when He needs to be "Lord of all" in our lives.

    WHY WEREN'T THE SAILORS BOTHERED EARLIER? Because they believed in small, provincial gods. - Jonah 1:7, 10. - One of the unusual things about this verse is that it tells in verse 10 that Jonah had told them previously that he was running away from God. You would think that when the storm arose ...read more

     | 4,278 views

    A look at the dangers of stubbornness.

    WHEN WE DON'T LIKE WHERE GOD IS LEADING: Jonah would rather die than change. - Jonah 1:12. A CROSS PROBLEM: Too many Christians are more defined by crossed arms than by the cross of Christ. - Too many of us confuse stubbornness with conviction. - What’s the difference? Conviction has to ...read more

    Why Was The One Sign Jesus Would Give "the Sign Of Jonah"? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 30, 2013
     | 5,007 views

    A look at whether Jonah died in the whale as well as what the specific significance of the "sign of Jonah" is.

    WHAT IS THE SIGN OF JONAH? Is the point that Jonah was in the whale or that Jonah was dead? - Matthew 12:38-40. - The point of the miracle is less the miracle of being in a whale or the specific time frame (“three days and three nights”) and more the miracle of resurrection. WHAT EXACTLY ...read more

     | 7,194 views

    Serving and ministering those whom we love is easy. What if you were called by God to minister to a nation of murderers, whose part and parcel was to kill wantonly and have no fear of God at all?

    The Reluctant, Rebellious Prophet: Jonah, Chapter 1 Today we will begin the first of a four part series on the book of Jonah. I hope to be in the church building in three Sundays from today, and we will finish this series the Sunday after that. I've decided to take a break from the Achieve New ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,680 views

    God deals with us when we do not do His will. Jonah is a prime example of how we should listen to God, and how God deals with His own when they don't listen and rebel.

    The Chastening of the Reluctant, Rebellious Prophet: Jonah Chapter 2 Today's message is a continuation of a study on the book of Jonah, which we started last week. Please turn to the book of Jonah, which is between Obadiah and Micah, just a few books before Matthew which is the first book of the ...read more

    I believe there our three categories that tell us how people are 1.Those that think they know where their going, 2.Those that say they know where their going, 3. and Those that know where their going.

    Do you know..Where you're Going? Ask most anyone that question..and the response will be, absolutely..and I know how to get there too! Everyone likes to think that they have some sense of direction and almost anyone you would ask, They Would like to think that their going in the right direction, ...read more

    Swallowed Up

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 11, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,597 views

    Any time you run from God, you never go “up"; you always go “down.” God sometimes allows us to face frightening circumstances so that we will learn to trust and obey Him. It’s always best to obey the Lord right away - then we won’t be “swallowed up.”

    Opening illustration: Being shocked by electricity can be very dangerous. Just ask professional golf legend Lee Trevino. He was struck by lightning while sitting under a tree during a tournament several years ago. He said, “It bolted my arms and legs out stiff, jerked me off the ...read more

    Nowhere To Run

    Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Dec 2, 2014
     | 8,360 views

    Running from God is what most people do when they are avoiding God and do not like what He is telling them. Disobedience will cause us to run, but coming clean with God causes us to make wise decisions.

    Nowhere to run Jonah chapter 1:1-1:7 This morning we will look at the familiar passage of the prophet Jonah running from God and what can happen if you choose to run from him. This passage will speak to each of us because all of us have attempted to run from God, hide from God and some are ...read more
