    Our Identity Before A Merciful God Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 21, 2020
     | 3,523 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

    The God Of Jonah

     | 2,500 views

    The story of Jonah is so exciting that some people believe it is no more than a fairy tale filled with exaggerations.

    When it comes to exaggeration, we are reminded of the story of the little boy who was known for his problem with exaggeration. He came home from school one day and said, "Mom, I saw a dog as big as an elephant." The mother said, "Johnny, haven't I told you a billion times not ...read more

    A God Of Second Chances

     | 7,515 views

    The account of Jonah provides a picture of the love, forgiveness, and compassion of God. This overview of Jonah reveals the second chance the Lord is longing to extend to all people through His one and only Son, Jesus Christ.

    Our sermon for this morning is entitled “A God of Second Chances.” In “Jonah: A Veggie Tales Movie,” there is a scene where Jonah is sitting in the belly of a whale, and some angels appear out of nowhere and begin explaining to Jonah how God wanted to give him a second chance to be obedient; and ...read more

    The amazing story of Jonah reminds us: 1) Don't run from God, 2) When life gets you down, look up, 3) Respond to God's second chance, and 4) Get God's heart for people. Like Jonah, we need to give up the "reluctant prophet" role and stay in God's will.

Or maybe you’ve felt like God wanted you to do something, but you resisted that urge? If so, you can identify with the prophet Jonah. ...read more

     | 4,004 views

    This devotion is about the prayer of repentance by Jonah from the belly of the great fish. This is the 20th of 31 devotions on the book of Jonah, where a comparison is made between Jonah and The Church-at-large, in the light of the present global pandemic.

    Jonah 2:1-9 - Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish’s belly. 2 And he said: “I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction, and He answered me. “Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and You heard my voice. 3 For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the floods ...read more

    Character Study Of Jonah Series

     | 277 views

    Jonah’s story is a powerful example of God’s mercy, human weakness, and the necessity of obedience. His journey from rebellion to reluctant obedience and his struggle with God’s grace teach us that God’s will must be done, and His mercy extends to all who repent.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF JONAH – PROPHET SENT TO NINEVEH By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Jonah 1:1-2 "Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me." Supporting ...read more

    Just as the biblical figure Jonah was summoned to the city of Nineveh to deliver a message of repentance, today's spiritual Nineveh represents a population that may lack understanding or awareness of moral and ethical principles.

    As Jonah was thrown into the sea it seemed all was over, but God had prepared a big fish to keep Jonah safe. In all those seemingly hopeless times, God is in control and let’s keep in mind that God’s grace and His justice always go hand in hand.

    We read in Jonah 1:15, “And they lifted Jonah up and threw him out into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.” (AFV) As we continue our studies on the life of Jonah and its relevance to the church, many have been blessed and we thank God for these good testimonies. God instructed Jonah to ...read more

    Sermon # 20 - A Repentant Heart Series

     | 757 views

    Jonah was brought to the depths and after being battered in the belly of a big fish, Jonah repented and turned back to God. Rebellion is detrimental to us and only those who repent and get back to God can fulfill His purposes for their lives.

    For this study and meditation we will read, Jonah 1:17, “When Jonah fell into the sea, the LORD chose a very big fish to swallow Jonah. He was in the stomach of the fish for three days and three nights.” (ERV) When Jonah disobeyed God, and voyaged in the opposite direction to the place God bid him ...read more
