    3 reasons why trying to run from God is a bad idea

    JONAH - RUNNING FROM GOD A drunk husband came home late and snuck up the stairs quietly. He looked in the bathroom mirror and bandaged the bumps and bruises he’d received in a fight earlier that night. He then proceeded to climb into bed, smiling at the thought that he’d pulled one ...read more

    A Big Fish Tale / All Lives Matter

    Contributed by Darian Catron on Jul 21, 2016
    based on 2 ratings
     | 13,721 views

    The story of Jonah is not just a Big Fish Tale. It's a true story with an incredible message relevant to our time. It's a message about a God who cares for all lives, even those of our enemies and those who hate us.

    INTRODUCTION: Today I want to tell you a BIG FISH TALE. How many fishermen do we have here today? Now our fish tales are always the truth, right? I caught a fish this big! But there's a story in the Bible about a Big Fish and about a man who lived to tell the tale. BODY: Let's Turn in your ...read more

    sermon from Jonah chapter 1 that looks at the disobedient intentions of Jonah and compares them to today's Christion

    TO OBEY OR NOT TO OBEY Text: Jonah 1:1 - 17 Jonah’s instructions were crystal clear. There were no excuses that he didn’t get the message or that he didn’t understand what was meant by the instructions or that he was confused by what he was being told to do. God told Jonah to ...read more

    Anywhere But Nineveh

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 29, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 19,966 views

    God has a Nineveh for every one of us -- a place we don't want to go; a command we don't want to obey. Going to Nineveh is unpopular, it will cost us, it doesn't make sense and it's hard. But God's purpose in dealing with us is to save many souls.

    ANYWHERE BUT NINEVEH Jon. 1:1-17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A city slicker pulled up to a farmhouse. He saw a farmer's wife on the front porch. 2. He pointed down the road; "Can I get to Quincy that way?" "Yep." "How far is it?" "25,000 miles!" 3. "What?" How far is it the other way?" "3 ...read more

    This Is No Time To Sleep!

     | 35,526 views

    Today we’re going to look at the danger of sleeping spiritually. The scriptures indicate three reasons THIS IS NO TIME TO SLEEP: we're in a storm, we're in the presence of the enemy, and Jesus needs us now!

    THIS IS NO TIME TO SLEEP! INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. God has a funny sense of humor. He made US didn't he? I heard a story of how God made a young minister’s sermon come alive. 2. While a student at Bucknell University, he was invited to speak at a church in New Columbia, Pennsylvania. The ...read more

    Our Identity Before A Merciful God Series

    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

    A Futile Effort Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 13, 2019
     | 6,381 views

    God spoke to Jonah, calling him to go and cry against Nineveh. Foolishly, Jonah thought he could flee the presence of God. However, God intended for Nineveh to hear a warning, and He intended Jonah to deliver that warning. It is futile to try and flee God's presence!

    A Futile Effort Jonah 1: 1-10 Having considered the introduction for Jonah, I want to remind us of the major theme of the book. Most tend to focus solely on Jonah’s miraculous deliverance from the belly of the great fish, but that is just one scene from this account in Scripture. In fact, that ...read more

    Who Was God Trying To Catch?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 10, 2019
     | 9,574 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

    This is the 12th of 31 Devotions from a series called, 'The Church Called Jonah.' These devotions are based on the book of Jonah where I'm making a comparison between Jonah and The Church of today.

    Jonah 1:9 - So he said to them, “I am a Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.” “So he said to them…” Since Jonah had been both awoken from sleep and had been identified as the man who was behind the tempest they were facing, and since he was asked ...read more

    When God’s Ways Don’t Make Sense, Then What?

    Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Jun 23, 2019
     | 8,302 views

    THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE THINK WE KNOW BETTER THAN GOD WHAT HIS PLAN SHOULD BE. IF A LOVED ONE IS SICK AND IN PAIN, WE WANT TO TREAT THE PAIN RIGHT AWAY, WHEN THE PAIN COULD BE NECESSARY TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM

    WHEN GOD’S WAYS DON’T MAKE SENSE, THEN WHAT? JONAH 1:1-16 WE’VE JUST STARTED A SERIES DEALING WITH THINGS IN LIFE THAT DO NOT GO AS WE WOULD WANT THEM TO. SOMETIMES IT SEEMS AS IF THERE IS TRIAL AFTER TRIAL PUT ON OUR PLATE AND WE WANT TO ASK GOD WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND WHEN IT WILL STOP. ...read more

    2. The Futility Of Running From God Series

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Nov 29, 2020
     | 2,839 views

    We cannot run away from God. We all try sometimes. We all try to make our own choices do our own thing. We never seem to learn the futility of it all.

    I. A Deliberate Choice 1. The Ship 2. Life is made up of choices. Hebrews 11:24-25 3. Jonah made a deliberate choice to rebel against God. a. Tarshish was the farthest point that he could flee. As much as 1,600 – 2,000 miles b. Jonah refused to surrender his will to God’s will. 4. The idea was, “I ...read more

    God was about to ask Jonah to do something he never would have dreamed that God would want him to do. God asked him to actually “care” about these people and to then go and preach the gospel to try and turn the city of Ninevah in the right direction. Bu

    Man on the Run Jonah 1:4-17 I can still see the scene from the movie Titanic where the orchestra is brought out on deck to play music-all of this happening while the sip is sinking.
