    Character Study Of Jonah Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 23, 2025
     | 418 views

    Jonah’s story is a powerful example of God’s mercy, human weakness, and the necessity of obedience. His journey from rebellion to reluctant obedience and his struggle with God’s grace teach us that God’s will must be done, and His mercy extends to all who repent.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF JONAH – PROPHET SENT TO NINEVEH By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Jonah 1:1-2 "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." Supporting ...read more

    Sermon # 42 - Time To Rise Up Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 17, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 764 views

    Jonah was seated in the wrong place waiting for God to pour out His wrath on the city of Nineveh. There were many others in the Bible who were in the wrong place like Jonah. If we are in such a place, God reminds us to rise up and go, to fulfill His purposes for our lives.

    We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) God sent the prophet Jonah to the city of Nineveh with a message. When Jonah preached, the people of Nineveh received the ...read more

    Sermon # 43- No Room For Self-Righteousness Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 22, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 430 views

    Self-righteous Jonah rejoiced over a plant that gave him shade, but had not compassion on the people of Nineveh who genuinely repented of their sins. There’s no room for self-righteousness, as all of us are sinners saved by God's grace alone.

    We read in Jonah 4:6, “Then the LORD God made a plant grow up over Jonah to give him some shade, so that he would be more comfortable. Jonah was extremely pleased with the plant.” (GNB) As we studied the life of Jonah there are numerous lessons that we have picked up, both for our personal lives, ...read more

    Sermon # 44 - God Is Mindful Of Us Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 24, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 559 views

    Jonah sat outside the city of Nineveh in the blazing heat fuming against God, but God graciously appointed a plant to grow and give shade to Jonah. No matter what our situation is, let’s remember that God is mindful of us and He will never leave us nor forsake us.

    For our meditation let us look at Jonah 4:6, “Now the LORD God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant.” (ESV) God gave Jonah a task to go and preach against ...read more

    Sermon # 45 - Give God The Rightful Place Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 28, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 512 views

    Jonah as a prophet of God did not give God the rightful place. When we obey God, serve Him alone, and set aside all that displeases Him, we will truly honor God and give Him the rightful place in our lives.

    We read in Jonah 4:7, “But God appointed a worm at the rising of the dawn of the next day, and it struck the plant, and it withered.” (LITV) As Jonah enjoyed the shade of the plant that God had prepared for him, the Lord appointed a worm that obeyed God’s bidding, and ate up the plant, so that it ...read more

    Sermon # 47 - Avoid The Hot East Wind Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 10, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 356 views

    God sent the hot east wind to rebuke the prophet Jonah. If we want to avoid the hot east wind from blowing over our lives we must set aside pride and disobedience and live in humility and obedience to the sovereign Lord.

    Our meditation is based on Jonah 4:8, “After the sun had risen, God sent a hot east wind, and Jonah was about to faint from the heat of the sun beating down on his head. So he wished he were dead. "I am better off dead than alive," he said.” (GNB) Jonah was a prophet of God who preached ...read more

    Sermon # 48 - No Room For Rebellion Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 12, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 408 views

    Jonah’s heart was hard and right to the end he was not willing to accept God’s forgiveness and compassion that was extended to the people of Nineveh. Rebellion against God is sin and if there is such a sin in our lives, may we set it aside and walk in obedience to the Holy Spirit.

    Today’s meditation is taken from Jonah 4:9, “But God said to him, "What right do you have to be angry about the plant?" Jonah replied, "I have every right to be angry—angry enough to die!"” (GNB) God spoke to Jonah who was annoyed and angry, and asked him if it was right on his ...read more

    Sermon # 49 - Value What God Values Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 14, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 457 views

    Jonah had more pity for the plant that gave him a little shade than for the people of Nineveh who had repented and thereby were saved from God’s wrath and judgement. May we learn to value people over things and traditions and love them like Jesus did.

    We read in Jonah 4:10, “The LORD said to him, "This plant grew up in one night and disappeared the next; you didn't do anything for it and you didn't make it grow—yet you feel sorry for it!” (GNB) Jonah sat outside the city of Nineveh and eagerly watched to see what would become of ...read more

    Sermon # 50 - Which Side Are You On? Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 19, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 453 views

    As Jonah fretted and fumed that God withheld His judgement on the people of Nineveh, God saw a people who were ignorant and could not decipher between right and wrong. God calls the church to disciple their members, and grow them in maturity so all will be found in God’s eternal Kingdom.

    Let us thank the Lord for the many lessons we learnt from the life of Jonah. We have come to the final part of this study. When I began this series, I did not expect that it would be such a long one, and I am grateful to the Lord for all that we have learned in this process, and all glory to God ...read more

    Here is a sermon centered on the question: "Can God Change His Mind or Repent?" This message explores the mystery of God’s immutability versus His relational interaction with humankind. It draws from Scripture to examine instances where God appeared to change His mind.

    Sermon Title: Can God Change His Mind or Repent? Scripture Foundation: Numbers 23:19 (KJV) "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent..." Introduction Here is a sermon centered on the question: "Can God Change His Mind or Repent?" This ...read more

    Sermon # 24 - God Gives Many Chances Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 6, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 768 views

    Though Jonah disobeyed and ran from God, the Lord gave him a second chance. No one is too bad or too far gone to return back to the loving Lord who alone can change and transform a sinner into a saint, and use such a one to fulfill His mighty purposes.

    We read in Jonah 3:1, “Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,” (ESV) God had called Jonah to accomplish a huge task. Jonah chose to disobey, and undertook a voyage which the Lord disrupted by sending a mighty tempest. As the ship was tossed about in the midst of the ...read more

    Sermon # 26 - Be Grateful - Don't Grumble Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 15, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 897 views

    Jonah’s disobedience and rebellion stemmed from an ungrateful heart. The Israelites too had to wander in the wilderness because of their constant grumbling and lack of thankfulness. Let’s learn to set aside all grumbling and replace it with a thankful heart.

    We read in Jonah 3:1-3, “Then the LORD spoke his word to Jonah a second time. He said, "Leave at once for the important city, Nineveh. Announce to the people the message I have given you." Jonah immediately went to Nineveh as the LORD told him. Nineveh was a very large city. It took three ...read more

    Sermon # 27 - Heed God's Warnings Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 20, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 561 views

    God’s message through the Prophet Jonah was one of warning to the people of Nineveh to repent of their sinful ways. The call of God all through the bible is for people to repent and turn back to Him. Genuine repentance alone can bring genuine change that will please God and bless others.

    We read in Jonah 3:3-4, “So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be ...read more

    Sermon # 28 - Discerning Prophecies Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 22, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 567 views

    Jonah was a prophet of God sent with a prophetic word for the people of Nineveh. In today’s context, ‘How can we discern who is a true prophet of God and who are false?’ God’s word gives us clear instructions on how to test and treat prophecies.

    We read in Jonah 3:3-4, “So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be ...read more
