    The mercy of God towards the people of Nineveh makes Jonah angry.

    The mercy of God towards the people of Nineveh makes Jonah angry. Jonah delivered the message, but Scripture does not state if he gave assistance or encouragement. In verses 1-4: For what reason did Jonah turn out to be so furious when God saved Nineveh? The Jews would have rather not shared ...read more

    When the will of God encounters reluctance, God goes to work for the sake of all involved.

    THE JONAH DILEMNA Are you really willing to do whatever God calls you to do? Personal Illustration: I was raised in northern Missouri in the 1960s and 70s. I never met or knew a hispanic person in my adolescence. After going to bible college and moving to Texas, things were quite different. I ...read more

    Before we display our reaction of anger, what should we think first?

    “But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry. He prayed to the LORD, ‘Isn’t this what I said, LORD, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who ...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

    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

    Sermon # 39 - Right Kind Of Prayers Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 8, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 237 views

    Jonah prayed wrong and selfishly because he did not understand the heart of God. Jesus set the example and taught His disciples how to pray. If we align our lives to God’s will and pray accordingly there will be great transformation in our lives and in that of those around us.

    We read in Jonah 4:3, “Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.” (ESV) As we continue to study about Jonah, there are numerous lessons we have picked up already from the events that transpired in his life. The people of Nineveh repented at ...read more

    Sermon # 40 - Mercy Instead Of Judgement Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 10, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 353 views

    Jonah freely accepted God’s mercy but wanted God’s judgement to be given the people of Nineveh. God’s word reminds us that it is not our prerogative to judge others, but rather to be merciful to them, just as God is merciful to us.

    We read in Jonah 4:4, “Then the LORD said, "Do you think it is right for you to be angry?" (ERV) The God who created heaven and the earth asked Jonah the prophet, if he thought it was right to be angry with Him, very much like a parent would enquire of their child, who is upset with ...read more

    Sermon # 41 - Forgotten Purpose Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 15, 2025

     | 290 views

    Jonah did not perceive God’s heart and thereby failed to rejoice when God’s purposes were accomplished in Nineveh. We as a church must have our hearts beat as one with that of God’s and fulfill His purposes to reach the lost and bring them into God’s Kingdom.

    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) In this series we are studying the life of Jonah and comparing it with the church of today, thereby trying to learn some ...read more

    Sermon # 42 - Time To Rise Up Series

     | 371 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
     | 236 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

     | 313 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

     | 301 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

    God challenges us to examine our hearts. In Jonah 4:9-10 we discover Jonah’s displeasure at the death of a plant compared to his lack of concern for the fate of Nineveh's 120,000 inhabitants.
