    A Disturbing Call From A Merciful God Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 17, 2020
     | 4,865 views

    The call by God for Jonah to go to Nineveh to preach is a call which confronts Jonah with a disturbing dynamic of God’s unanticipated mercy. Jonah finds this call too disturbing so he goes in the opposite direction to run away from the call of God.

    Message Jonah 1:1-3 A Disturbing Call From A Merciful God I don’t have definitive proof but it would be my educated opinion that the story of Jonah … specifically the part where Jonah is swallowed by a large fish or whale … is one of the most well-known stories in the Bible. Ask anybody who Jonah ...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.

    Sometimes God allows storms in our lives because He is trying to get our attention! We need to recognize these storms, and then we need to recognize what we need to throw overboard!!

    Part 2 this is not about you. This book is about God and His call and pursuit of man. Especially the pouting prophet, Jonah.

    Intro: I want to remind you that this whale of a tale called the book of Jonah is not about a great big fish, a great big city or a grumpy old prophet. This book is about a Great big God that is willing to graciously deal with a disobedient, disgruntled, disgusted prophet. In this story of a ...read more

    Jonah Paid The Price Series

    God had instructed Jonah, God had spoken to Jonah, I believe to go to a certain place to preach the gospel, but the bible say’s that Jonah turned to a different direction in order to disobey or runaway from God.

    I believe he hadn’t read the scripture written by David, it says: even if I make my bed in Hell, thou are there “AMEN”. I have come to realize in life that no one can hide from God, if God doesn’t speak to you now, it doesn’t mean that you have succeeded in hiding ...read more

But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to ...read more

    This book is about God's great love for everyone and about man's stubborn refusal to participate with God in loving others.

    Well, we have been looking at children's stories. Stories we've just kind of always known. In fact, what we do with our 0- to 4-year-olds here is we have a curriculum called Bible Biggies where we tell them all the big stories of the Scripture so they can be aware of those stories.
