    Who Was God Trying To Catch?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 10, 2019
     | 9,757 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.

But there ...read more

    God's Great Compassion

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 19, 2021
     | 2,493 views

    Jesus calls us to be merciful as God is merciful, and in the way God acted towards the people of Nineveh, he set the bar very high. The Assyrians were among the cruellest people in history.

    INTRODUCTION Jonah is one of the shortest books in the Bible. It’s just 48 verses long. That’s shorter than a lot of chapters in the New Testament. Because it’s such a short book, when Bible translators begin work translating the Bible into other languages they’ll often start with Jonah. They ...read more

    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

     | 2,817 views

    This devotion is about the 2nd call of God to Jonah to go and preach to the people of Nineveh. This is the 22nd 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 3:1 – “Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you.” “Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time…” When we read the above words of the Lord to Jonah in Jonah 1:2, “Arise, go ...read more

    The pandemic situation right now in the world points squarely to disobedience to God, don’t you dare think you can disobey and get away with it, the ‘corona virus’ has been released on the world from the storehouse of God.

    When you leave His presence..Part 1 Jonah 1: 3”But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.” When you disobey God, you actually may feel free but you are fleeing from His presence, which is very dangerous.

    Having received the commission from God to go to Nineveh to preach against it, Jonah decided instead to rebel against God and flee to Tarshish instead.
