What Is Prayer About

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Sep 17, 2012

Prayer is not an antidote to worry. Have you ever prayed about a stressful situation just to discover that you’re still worried about it? Faith is the antidote to worry. Prayer is about asking God for the supernatural.

I would like for you to consider for a moment if God appeared to you and said, “The people of Kabul Afghanistan are ready to hear about my Son Jesus and I want you to be the messenger to go speak of His resurrection and offer of grace.” Would you go? Would you go, knowing, that ...read more

When It's Hard To Pray, Pray Harder!" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 20, 2012

It would be my guess that the most powerful prayer that Jonah ever prayed was in the belly of a fish. It’s possible that the most powerful prayer you have ever prayed was when you were in trouble as well. If crisis drives us to pray that's a good thing!

When it’s hard to pray, Pray Harder! Jonah 2:1-10 Sometimes what you think might do you in will be the one thing that saves you. Sometimes the worst possible thing that can happen to you is exactly what you need. Sometimes the thing you fear the most is the very thing that will turn your ...read more

In The Fish's Belly! Series

Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Jun 23, 2013

Jonah's experience in the fish's belly motivates him to acknowledge and plead for God's mercy which Jonah was willing to deny Nineveh from experiencing.

Question: Why was Jonah in the fish's belly? Almost everyone on the planet knows that!...or think they know! Well he was there because the fish swallowed him! The cause of this predicament was Jonah's original response to God's command. He did not like the idea of doing what God wanted, despite the ...read more

Rescued By A Merciful God Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 28, 2020

Out of desperation Jonah offers a foxhole prayer; with no repentance, blaming God, self-righteousness and false piety. God's mercy still continues to be shown to Jonah as God rescues Jonah. It is an unanticipated outcome.

Message Jonah 2:1-10 Rescued by a Merciful God The story is told of an emergency meeting of the church council called by the senior pastor. At the end of the meeting with nothing accomplished, the pastor looked around and then said, “There’s nothing left to do but to pray!” One of the overseers ...read more

Buying Your Own Ticket To Hell

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 15, 2020

Nobody really wants to go to Hell. Its very name conveys the ideas of “dread” and “punishment.” As strange as it sounds, one man in Scripture did buy his own ticket to Hell. Possibly some of you are in the process of buying your own ticket there.

BUYING YOUR OWN TICKET TO HELL Jonah 1:3; 2:1-2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A young boy from down south attended Sunday school for the first time with his grandparents who lived up north. He was so excited he couldn’t wait to tell grandma about the lesson. 2. "My teacher taught us all ...read more

The Praying Prophet Series

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 1, 2022

Jonah prays from inside the great fish. When we realize that God wants us to accomplish something, we ought not to run.

Fear the God – Respect 2:1-9 At the beginning of chapter 1, we see Jonah as The Protesting Prophet. He did not want to go to Nineveh as directed by God. It is noted in verse three that he “rose up to flee…from the Presence of the Lord.” Jonah had sinned by running from God. However, we can see ...read more
