    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,563 views

    This is the 7th of 31 Devotions in a series called 'The Church called Jonah.' These devotions are based on the book of Jonah and are meant to make a comparison between Jonah and The Church of today.

    The Disposing Jonah 1:5 – “every man cried out to his god and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the load.” And threw the cargo… We just saw how the mariners, each cried out to his god to help them out of the terrible situation they were in. Now we see them going one ...read more

    A Disturbing Call From A Merciful God Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 17, 2020
     | 4,815 views

    The call by God for Jonah to go to Nineveh to preach is a call which confronts Jonah with a disturbing dynamic of God’s unanticipated mercy. Jonah finds this call too disturbing so he goes in the opposite direction to run away from the call of God.

    Message Jonah 1:1-3 A Disturbing Call From A Merciful God I don’t have definitive proof but it would be my educated opinion that the story of Jonah … specifically the part where Jonah is swallowed by a large fish or whale … is one of the most well-known stories in the Bible. Ask anybody who Jonah ...read more

    Our Identity Before A Merciful God Series

     | 3,661 views

    Jonah professes to be a Hebrew who worships the Lord. However, because he cannot accept the unanticipated mercy of God Jonah behaves like cargo. We are cargo when we don't speak to God.

    Message Jonah 1:4-17 Our Identity Before A Merciful God Last week we ended with Jonah in the town of Joppa paying the fare to sail for Tarshish. Jonah did this because he found the mercy which God was extending to the town of Nineveh too disturbing. A succinct visual summary of the actions of ...read more

    Ezra the scribe knew his people needed to prepare their hearts for the difficult and dangerous journey ahead. In this sermon we look at why we as the church are called to fast and pray together, especially during the season of Lent.

    A FAMILY ON THE MOVE For our family, there is rarely any experience more stressful than preparing for a trip back to Iowa to visit our parents.

    Rescued By A Merciful God Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 28, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,845 views

    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

    In God’s economy failure is never a defining outcome because God never gives up on anybody – therefore we should always expect the miracle of transformation to take place.

    Message Jonah 3:1-10 Recommissioned By A Merciful God. Do you remember the first time you tried to ride a bike? It’s such a tranquil and joyful occasion isn’t it. But that is only after a lot of other things have happened. Eventually your bike riding efforts look like this. But usually ...read more

    A Grace Extinguisher And A Merciful God Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Mar 14, 2020
     | 4,204 views

    In his anger Jonah seeks to extinguish the grace and compassion which God has shown to Nineveh. As we go through life we need to be aware of those times when we have also extinguished the grace of God and found ourselves in a place where God is asking, “Do you have a right to be angry?”

    Message Jonah 4:1-4 A Grace Extinguisher And A Merciful God Let’s get a summary of Jonah’s evangelism crusade to Nineveh. Jonah proclaimed, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” The Ninevites believed God. The king proclaimed, “ Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up ...read more

    God teaches Jonah a visual lesson by providing, and then removing, the shade of the vine. Through this lesson Jonah is faced with the question of whether he has a right to be angry. That question continues to hang in the air.

    Message The Compassion of A Merciful God Jonah 4:5-11 Summary Jonah preached The Ninevites repented. God relented from sending punishment It made Jonah a “grace extinguisher”. They are the people who say . I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a ...read more

    Who Was God Trying To Catch?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 10, 2019
     | 9,791 views

    Many times when we read the story of Jonah, our focus is on the significance of the great fish. But should that be our focus? This message looks at the message of Jonah that we often miss.

    Tonight, we’re going to have an opportunity to get into a story that’s very familiar to all of us. But I want to look at it from the vantage point of “Who was God trying to catch?” The Holy Spirit speaks to each one of us and He speaks to us individually with words specifically to us. But there ...read more
