    A Disturbing Call From A Merciful God Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 17, 2020
     | 4,813 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.

Ask anybody who Jonah ...read more

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Sep 30, 2025
     | 778 views

    This passage of scripture presents us with three things, faith, rewards and duty. If we forget about the sin warning that Jesus gives to us in this scripture, then our ingredients for true discipleship will be incomplete.

    When things get rough and disorienting, the predictability of the past starts looking pretty good. The story of the Exodus, with its powerful imagery of liberation from Egyptian slavery, holds a significant place in African American culture and history.
