    From this unusual text, we are able to learn seven truths about God’s love, and how His love never changes, in spite of our changing conditions.

    VERSE 1: GOD’S LOVE NEVER CHANGES, EVEN WHEN I AM ANGRY WITH HIM. Whenever the name “Job” is mentioned, people often associate him with suffering and patience. We like to see him as a tragic figure who endured his turmoil with grace and candor. Now, it is true that Job “did not sin with his ...read more

    After all that’s happened so far – Jonah’s initial disobedience; God’s humbling of Jonah; Jonah’s going to Nineveh at the second time of asking; the Ninevites’ believing the message and being spared – surely you’d expect there to be a happy ending!

    Jonah was angry because God did not destroy Ninevah. In his protesting prayer, Jonah declared some wonderful truths about the goodness and compassion of God.

Therefore, in order to forestall this I fled to Tarshish, for I knew that Thou art a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in ...read more

    This sermon examines our pre-occupation with things as opposed to the need to focus on God’s work of evangelism and missions.

    Have you ever found yourself getting angry over something that is foolish? These little episodes reveal something about the human personality. I read a story that reveals this truth.

    How is it possible for believers, or even entire congregations to sideline themselves and keep from being part of what God is doing?

    Each chapter of Jonah has a story to tell. In chapter one, we read a story of rebellion. In chapter two, we read a story of repentance. In chapter three, we read a story of revival. Now, let’s look to chapter four. (READ TEXT) We would think the story of Jonah would have ended on the high note ...read more
