You Can't Keep A Good Man Down

Contributed by Chris Beam on Aug 20, 2015

Jonah's story serves as proof that you can't keep a good man down.

What Is Prayer About

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Sep 17, 2012

Prayer is not an antidote to worry. Have you ever prayed about a stressful situation just to discover that you’re still worried about it? Faith is the antidote to worry. Prayer is about asking God for the supernatural.

I would like for you to consider for a moment if God appeared to you and said, “The people of Kabul Afghanistan are ready to hear about my Son Jesus and I want you to be the messenger to go speak of His resurrection and offer of grace.” Would you go? Would you go, knowing, that ...read more

When It's Hard To Pray, Pray Harder!" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 20, 2012

It would be my guess that the most powerful prayer that Jonah ever prayed was in the belly of a fish. It’s possible that the most powerful prayer you have ever prayed was when you were in trouble as well. If crisis drives us to pray that's a good thing!

When it’s hard to pray, Pray Harder! Jonah 2:1-10 Sometimes what you think might do you in will be the one thing that saves you. Sometimes the worst possible thing that can happen to you is exactly what you need. Sometimes the thing you fear the most is the very thing that will turn your ...read more

"Are You Going To Tarshish Or Nineveh" Series

Contributed by Brad Henry on Oct 18, 2011

This lesson is about acting on what God desires for us to do. A lot of times we wait, pretend like we don't hear God or just go to Tarshish instead of Nineveh.

Yesterday we left off where the men on the ship threw Jonah overboard. The sea grew calm and a great fish swallowed Jonah. A large fish could have been a huge sperm whale but the Bible doesn’t say what kind of fish. But its insides had to big enough for Jonah to breathe for three days. ...read more

In The Fish's Belly! Series

Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Jun 23, 2013

Jonah's experience in the fish's belly motivates him to acknowledge and plead for God's mercy which Jonah was willing to deny Nineveh from experiencing.

Question: Why was Jonah in the fish's belly? Almost everyone on the planet knows that!...or think they know! Well he was there because the fish swallowed him! The cause of this predicament was Jonah's original response to God's command. He did not like the idea of doing what God wanted, despite the ...read more

God's math when it comes to grace.

8 “Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.” (Jonah 2 – NIV) 15-17 Yet the rescuing gift is not exactly parallel to the death-dealing sin. If one man’s sin put crowds of people at the dead-end abyss of separation from God, just think what ...read more
