    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 18, 2016
     | 17,435 views

    1) Jonah’s Commission (Jonah 3:1–4) 2) Nineveh’s Confession (Jonah 3:5–9) and 3) God’s Compassion (Jonah 3:10)

    If you are a fan of classic comedies, you are probably a fan of the classic: “Ground-hog Day”. In this 1993 comedy, “a weather man (played by Bill Murray) is reluctantly sent to cover a story about a weather forecasting "rat" (as he calls it). This is his fourth year on the story, and he ...read more

    Three simple truths we learn from Jonah

    FRUIT OF FAITHFULNESS John was born in London on July 24, 1725. His father was the captain of a merchant ship and his mother died of tuberculosis when he was young. In 1744 he was forced into military service on a man-of-war, the H. M. S. Harwich. Finding conditions on board intolerable, he ...read more

    Should I Not Be Concerned Series

    Jonah was concerned for God's plan and God's plant when he should have been concerned for God's people.

    SHOULD I NOT BE CONCERNED? Years ago, there was found in an African mine the most magnificent diamond in the world's history. It was presented to the king of England to blaze in his crown. The king sent it to Amsterdam to be cut. It was put into the hands of an expert gem cutter. And do you know ...read more

    Sermon # 50 - Which Side Are You On? Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 19, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 429 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

    Character Study Of Jonah Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 23, 2025
     | 411 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 # 33 - God Is Sovereign Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 11, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 500 views

    The King of Nineveh humbled himself before God because he understood that God is sovereign. There are many others in the bible who recognized God’s sovereignty and submitted to His will. Only those who recognize and acknowledge God’s sovereignty can joyfully accept His dealings in their lives.

    We read in Jonah 3:9, “Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.” (ESV) The one who said these words in the verse mentioned above, was the King of Nineveh, which makes it truly astounding. Let me give you a background which led to this response ...read more

    Sermon # 34 - The Unchanging God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 12, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 553 views

    Have you ever wondered if God would change His mind and if so for what reasons? The repentant King and people of Nineveh help us understand God’s true character, and our responsibility as the believers who belong to the body of Christ, the Church.

    We read in Jonah 3:10,“God saw what they did; he saw that they had given up their wicked behavior. So he changed his mind and did not punish them as he had said he would.” (GNB) God sent the prophet Jonah to preach against the city of Nineveh, with the message that in forty days the city would be ...read more

    Sermon # 35 - The Heart Of A Christian Leader Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 19, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 294 views

    Jonah was a prophet of God, but he did not understand the loving heart of God towards a repentant people. The heart of Moses as a leader of the Israelites and the forgiving heart of Jesus are the best examples of how a Christian leader should love and care for the people under his or her care.

    We read in Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) There are two kinds of emotions that Jonah expressed as mentioned in the verse above, one was sadness, and the other was anger. As we meditate on this portion of scripture, we will try to understand the reasons for ...read more

    Sermon # 36 - Learning To Forgive Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 20, 2024
     | 467 views

    Jonah was happy to receive God’s forgiveness for his disobedience, but was unhappy when God did the same for the people of Nineveh who repented of their sins. Jesus paid with his life for our forgiveness, and God expects us to extend this same forgiveness to those who wrong us in any way.

    For our meditation we will study Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) When the prophet Jonah preached to the people in the city of Nineveh, they took his words seriously, repented, and had a change of heart. God relented from punishing the people of Nineveh, and ...read more

    Sermon # 37 - Excuses People Give Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 27, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 987 views

    Jonah has some lame excuses for why he did not want to obey God and preach to the city of Nineveh. There are many others in the bible who gave excuses and the question is “Are we also giving excuses?” or “Are we fulfilling the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus and leading others into His kingdom?”

    We read in Jonah 4:2, “And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.” ...read more

    Sermon # 38 - The Grace And Justice Of God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 390 views

    Jonah desired that God should punish the people of Nineveh and was angry when God relented. There are two sides of God, His grace and His justice that go hand in hand. A proper understanding will help us set aside our sinful ways and to stay in the will of God.

    For today’s meditation we will look at Jonah 4:2, “And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and ...read more

    Jonah 3:6-10

    Recap ~ 4-5 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” 5 And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them. So we have a ...read more

    Jonah 4:1-4

    So last week we saw that the people and king of Nineveh had repented from their rebellion against God. God had given them an option to either repent and not be destroyed or continue in their rebellion against Him and perish. Malachi 3:6 ~ “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children ...read more

    Jonah 4:5-11 So we finished Jonah 4:1-4 last week with Jonah asking God to take his life because he was displeased with the patience, mercy and grace that God had given to Nineveh. Imagine being mad at that. But Jonah isn't done with his little temper tantrum yet as we will see in these last ...read more
