    1. Living In Rebellion Series

    One of the unfortunate things about the book of Jonah is: most people know only about the great fish, but they know nothing of the great God.

He was the son of a Amittai. 2 Kings 14:25. A prophet who prophesied in the time of Jeroboam II. Our main concern should not be whether a ...read more

    2. The Futility Of Running From God Series

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Nov 29, 2020
     | 3,026 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

     | 2,906 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

    God's will will be done whether we are willing or not.

    The Reluctant Missionary: Jonah Preaches to Nineveh Jonah 3:1-10 The story of Jonah and the whale is a favorite story at Vacation Bible School. Children are drawn with the fascination of the idea of being swallowed alive. It also addresses the natural fear children have of the unknown. A story ...read more

    Jonah

    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. If you watch the bird’s nest , it is so secure, protected, ...read more

     | 3,330 views

    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.

    # 2 - The First Rebellion Jonah 1:3a - “But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord...” 1. BUT In verse 1, God clearly told Jonah to go and preach against Nineveh as it's wickedness had come up before God. Verse 2 begins with the word, ‘But.’ The verse could have begun ...read more

    What’s the BIG IDEA of the book? God is a God of extravagant grace, especially to the ones who seem less deserving of His grace.

    I am Jonah Jonah 1:1-3 Pastor Jefferson M. Williams Chenoa Baptist Church 09-01-19 You Think you Know Jonah? If you have grown up in church at all, you know the story of Jonah.

    This morning, we are going to see a prophet try to run away from God. And we will see God pursue Jonah with a storm. At the end of this section, the story gets a bit fishy.

    This is the 3rd of a series of 31 Devotions on the book of Jonah. In this devotion we look at the Rebellious Voyage Jonah undertook to flee from the presence of the Lord.

    The Church Called Jonah # 3 – The Voyage Jonah 1:3b - “He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.” He went down to Joppa We’ve seen how Jonah made up his mind to ‘flee from the ...read more

    This is the 4th of 31 devotions on the book of Jonah, where I compare Jonah with The Global Church. This devotion is about the great tempest that God sent on the sea and a few learnings from that.

    # 4 - The Mighty Tempest Jonah 1:4 - “But the Lord sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up.” But the Lord sent out a Great Wind on the Sea Jonah had just boarded a ship to Tarshish and was doing a good job of ...read more

    Buying Your Own Ticket To Hell

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 15, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,293 views

    Nobody really wants to go to Hell. Its very name conveys the ideas of “dread” and “punishment.” As strange as it sounds, one man in Scripture did buy his own ticket to Hell. Possibly some of you are in the process of buying your own ticket there.

    BUYING YOUR OWN TICKET TO HELL Jonah 1:3; 2:1-2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A young boy from down south attended Sunday school for the first time with his grandparents who lived up north. He was so excited he couldn’t wait to tell grandma about the lesson. 2. "My teacher taught us all ...read more

    God said to go east, so he goes west. God says to go overland, instead he takes off toward the sea. Sent to the big city, he tries to flee to the end of the world.

    Jonah Chapter 1 – Running from God February 2, 2020 Jonah 1:2-6 NIV “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”3 But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish.

    A Disturbing Call From A Merciful God Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 17, 2020
     | 4,890 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

     | 3,714 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
