    Explore how the story of Jonah teaches us that God prepares us for suffering, salvation, and complete dependence on Him, and that our deepest hurts can often lead to God's greatest blessings.

    Good morning, church family. Today, we're diving deep into the heart of the Book of Jonah. This isn't just a story about a man being swallowed by a big fish, although that's the part we tend to remember. No, Jonah's story is about so much more. It's about how God prepares us for suffering, for ...read more

    This sermon explores God's perfect timing, the power of gratitude in distress, and the promise of salvation even in dire circumstances, through Jonah's story.

    Good morning, family! I'm so glad to see all of you here today, ready to dive into the word of God. A.W. Tozer said, "God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves." Isn't that just something? In our fast-paced ...read more

    Six Truths for Unanticipated Storms

    Jonah was a prophet of God from the northern kingdom of Israel. God called him to go to wicked and cruel people and preach judgment and repentance.

    Cast, get a bite, and try to hook it; loose it; say something emotional, sit and cry. And repeat.

    How to catch a fish. Cast, get a bite, and try to hook it; loose it; say something emotional, sit and cry. And repeat. James Merritt has come to the conclusion that there are basically four reasons why people do not catch fish: (1) Some people are using the wrong bait. (2) Some people are ...read more

    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

    Take the shot. You might score a goal, but do the good whether you succeed or not.

    On this third Sunday in “ordinary time,” we read (and many parishes sing) the Introit from Ps 96, “sing a new song to the Lord; sing to the Lord all the earth. In his presence are majesty and splendor, strength and honor in his holy place.” Wow! An unchurched American, reading that, might ask ...read more

    “The God of Us and Them” Jonah 3:1-5, 10 (inspired by a sermon by Chris Mathis) Our lesson for this morning starts in Chapter 1 with God saying to Jonah: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it because its wickedness has come up before me.” But Jonah was a prophet from the ...read more

    What Was The Sin That Caused The Boat To Rock? Series

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 28, 2024
     | 962 views

    Evil was rampant through the area. God called a man to preach repentance. But instead of doing as he was instructed, he ran. How many Christians today are like that?

    When an evil empire displayed its power before God and the world through various demonstrations of inhumane mercilessness, that is when Jonah heard God instruct him to proceed to call the people to repent for their sins. However, Jonah ran away from God. In verses one - three: God called Jonah to ...read more

    Sermon # 4 - Seek To Please God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 29, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,178 views

    Often we miss out on God’s call for our lives when we disobey the Lord or choose to please people over God. As a church may we not shun our responsibility to proclaim Christ, but stand up boldly to proclaim Christ and the good news of the Gospel.

    We read in Jonah 1:4, “Then the LORD sent a great wind over the sea, and a severe storm broke out. It seemed as if the ship were about to break up.” (ISV) As we continue these studies on the life of Jonah, we will be pleasantly surprised to know that there is a lot that we as a church can learn ...read more

    Sermon # 5 - No Fear In Obedience Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 4, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 974 views

    Jonah chose to disobey God and ended up in a tumultuous storm. Are we walking in obedience to God and His word or are we trying to compromise and please people? Here’s a word of caution from the life of Jonah that if God is against us, there is no one who can save us.

    We read in Jonah 1:5, “Then the mariners were afraid,” (ESV) The mariners were filled with dread when they saw that the sea was so tumultuous and beyond their control. They therefore, feared that the ship would be wrecked, their goods destroyed and they would lose their lives in the process. I am ...read more

    Sermon # 6 - No Need To Fear Death Series

     | 1,090 views

    Man’s greatest fear is the fear of death, and that’s what gripped everyone aboard the ship that Jonah travelled. Learn how Jesus gives us hope beyond the grave. Also we as individuals and the church we must wake up to fulfill God's purposes in our life time.

    We read in Jonah 1:5, Then the seamen were afraid, and each man cried to his god. (AFV) As we continue this series on how the life of Jonah can be related to the church today, I believe that many of you are blessed through these meditations. The seamen on the ship were filled with dread when the ...read more

    Sermon # 7 - Throw-Off, Rebuild, Unite Series

     | 1,026 views

    The call of God to the church today is to cast off everything that hinders us from reaching our destination, to rebuild the broken altars, and to work towards the unity of the body of Christ. The coming of the Lord is near and the church must be ready to receive the bridegroom.

    We read in Jonah 1:5, Then the mariners were afraid, and each cried out to his god. And they hurled the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. (ESV) As we continue our study on the life of Jonah and the church, I believe that God is declaring His word to the church of ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,263 views

    In the midst of a serious storm, Jonah was blissfully asleep unaware of the predicament of his fellow passengers caused by his disobedience. Is it possible that the church too is asleep at a time when we have to wake up to fulfill the Great Commission that Jesus gave us?

    We read in Jonah 1:5, “And the mariners were afraid, and cried every one unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah had gone down into the lower part of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.” (Darby) This is the ...read more

     | 1,956 views

    Just as Jonah slept through the raging storm there were others in the Bible who also slept for various reasons. Today if the church does not wake up and continues to be in slumber of any sort, we will become easy targets of the evil one.

    We read in Jonah 1:5-6, And the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it unto them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. So the shipmaster came to ...read more
