    Prayers From The Deep (Part 1)

     | 4,864 views

    As Jonah found himself in the belly of a great fish, within the depths of the sea, he began to realize the sovereignty of God and his great need for Him. In his desperation, he cried out unto the lord.

    Prayers from the Deep (Part 1) Jonah 1:17 – 2:10 We have come to the most familiar portion of the book of Jonah. Most people, even with limited exposure to the Bible, have heard the story of Jonah and the whale. While I will admit that was a miraculous event, it is not the focus of the book. We ...read more

    Prayers From The Deep - Part 2 Series

    Like the prodigal son, Jonah came to himself in his moment of despair. He cried out unto the Lord, desiring renewed fellowship with Him. Seeking to flee the Lord's presence cannot delay the inevitable.

    Prayers from the Deep (Part 2) Jonah 1:17 – 2:10 In our last study we began the most familiar portion within the book of Jonah – his being swallowed by the great fish. Again, I want to emphasize the dominant theme conveyed throughout the book – the absolute sovereignty of God in all His dealings, ...read more

    Buying Your Own Ticket To Hell

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 15, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,020 views

    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

    Have you discovered the calling that God has for your life? Do you know what it is that He wants you to do for Him? If you do know what He has called you to do are you doing it or avoiding it?

    Don't be like Jonah, don't run away, follow your calling. We are continuing in our series Discovering Your Destiny and this week we are considering how ‘God Prepares and Positions us’ Ephesians 2:10 reminds us, God has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for ...read more

    From Psalm 50 message explores basic direction for what to do. For example, we are to be thankful; we are to do what we promise to do; and in times of trouble, call on the Lord.

     | 15,542 views

    Jonah's prayer from the belly of a fish serves to encourage Christians to pray, especially when under water.

    “Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish, saying “‘I called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice. For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; ...read more

    Obeying the voice of God the first time you are told

    There is much to be said and much to be learned about a preacher named Jonah. God had a message to send the people of Ninevah and the mouthpiece He chose to use decided to go a different way. How many times in my life I have chose to go the wrong direction when God spoke. In the first chapter and ...read more

    Jonah's Song Of Repentance Series

     | 6,426 views

    We too often believe the lie that things are meant to destroy us. Whether a violent storm or big fish what we think is meant to destroy us is actually designed by God to develop us.

    Intro: Think about this as we look at chapter 2 of Jonah. What did Jonah deserve? He deserved to be a man taco for a big fish. What did he get? God’s mercy. Jonah had already received God’s grace. God did not completely destroy Jonah or the Ship in the violent storm. God as a ...read more

    The amazing story of Jonah reminds us: 1) Don't run from God, 2) When life gets you down, look up, 3) Respond to God's second chance, and 4) Get God's heart for people. Like Jonah, we need to give up the "reluctant prophet" role and stay in God's will.

    Jonah 3:1-10 Aligning My Will with God’s Prophets with a Purpose – Week 2 Do you ever feel like some people are beyond hope, that they are incapable of change? Or maybe you’ve felt like God wanted you to do something, but you resisted that urge? If so, you can identify with the prophet Jonah. ...read more

    What Is Prayer About

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Sep 17, 2012
     | 3,601 views

    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

    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
