Sermon # 19 - God Gives Us Hope Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 23, 2024

As Jonah was thrown into the sea it seemed all was over, but God had prepared a big fish to keep Jonah safe. In all those seemingly hopeless times, God is in control and let’s keep in mind that God’s grace and His justice always go hand in hand.

Sermon # 20 - A Repentant Heart Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 25, 2024

Jonah was brought to the depths and after being battered in the belly of a big fish, Jonah repented and turned back to God. Rebellion is detrimental to us and only those who repent and get back to God can fulfill His purposes for their lives.

For this study and meditation we will read, Jonah 1:17, “When Jonah fell into the sea, the LORD chose a very big fish to swallow Jonah. He was in the stomach of the fish for three days and three nights.” (ERV) When Jonah disobeyed God, and voyaged in the opposite direction to the place God bid him ...read more

Character Study Of Jonah Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 23, 2025

Jonah’s story is a powerful example of God’s mercy, human weakness, and the necessity of obedience. His journey from rebellion to reluctant obedience and his struggle with God’s grace teach us that God’s will must be done, and His mercy extends to all who repent.

What Was The Sin That Caused The Boat To Rock? Series

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 28, 2024

Evil was rampant through the area. God called a man to preach repentance. But instead of doing as he was instructed, he ran. How many Christians today are like that?

When an evil empire displayed its power before God and the world through various demonstrations of inhumane mercilessness, that is when Jonah heard God instruct him to proceed to call the people to repent for their sins. However, Jonah ran away from God. In verses one - three: God called Jonah to ...read more
