Are You Angry With God? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 30, 2021

| 1,760 views

When we want to yell curses at God, perhaps we first should ask if our peril has somehow been brought on by our own stupid decision somewhere.

Wednesday of the 27th Week in Course Have you ever been angry with God? I don’t mean you feel inconvenienced by something that happens–a fender-bender, a sudden rain shower that leaves you without an umbrella, an extra-long work day–no, I mean really upsetting things. A sudden death of a good ...read more

Mad At God

Look how patient God is with Jonah's sulking. He's that patient with you, too.

Have you ever been mad at God? I have. I became a Christian in my 30’s, which is a little unusual. Quite a number of people recommit in their middle years, as they start looking around and wondering what it’s all about, but they were usually raised at least nominally Christian, while I was ...read more

Sermon # 35 - The Heart Of A Christian Leader Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 19, 2024

based on 1 rating

| 190 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

| 308 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

Jonah 4:1-4

So last week we saw that the people and king of Nineveh had repented from their rebellion against God.

Sermon # 43- No Room For Self-Righteousness Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 22, 2025

based on 1 rating

| 267 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

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.
