    Attitudes In The Life Of Jonah

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022
     | 2,092 views

    Some people describe others by saying, “They have an attitude problem.” Listen, on any given day that could be said of any of us.

    Illus: There used to be a song that some churches in the South liked to sing called, “I woke up this morning feeling fine! I woke up with heaven on my mind.” But I have a confession, sometimes I wake up and I am not feeling fine, and I certainly do not have heaven on my mind. Generally, when we ...read more

    Chicken Of The Sea

    Contributed by Richard Stevens on Mar 23, 2022
     | 1,226 views

    Jonah didn't follow God's clear direction for his life. Jonah didn't take a Bible Principle (Bible Truth) and make it a Conviction (belief based on Bible Truth), then take that Conviction and make it a Standard in his life.

    Introduction SLIDE Jonah 1:1-3 “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. But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; ...read more

    Running From God

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022
     | 2,926 views

    David Jansen made a big hit on the television series called, “The fugitive.”

    What made this program so exciting was that every week the character he played was staying just one step ahead of the law. He was running from the law because he had been falsely accused of killing his wife. He had been convicted and sentenced to prison, but somehow he escaped. After he ...read more

    The God Of Jonah

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 18, 2022
     | 2,585 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

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 27, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,726 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

    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

    A Disturbing Call From A Merciful God Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 17, 2020
     | 4,753 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

     | 3,623 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
