Responsive Servants: Taking the Message of God to Heart Thank God that He is the God of the second chance! When we mess up and blow it He does not discard us or destroy us!

For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the flesh but in the…

As the 5th of the minor prophets, this book contains: four short chapters, 48 verses total, one each: colossal fish, reluctant prophet, and compassionate God, but lots of undeserving people. That is a lot of material for these few verses to cover. The content style of the book better resembles the narrative…

Jonah

Introduction Well it is thanksgiving and like most pastors around the world, we struggle with the concept of diverting from your sermon plan to deliver a sermon that is date specific or seasonal. I hope this weekend you have or will be taking time to celebrate the many things you are thankful for. For…

Last week we saw a repentant and thankful Jonah calling out to God in the belly of a fish. He would have rather died than go preach to the Ninevites, sworn enemies of Israel. Not long before this story, Israel won a great battle against the Assyrian armies. Their borders were expanded and much prosperity…

Introduction: Israel constantly rebelled against God. Time and time again, a prophet would be sent and the people wouldn’t listen. It would take an enemy warring against them for them to wake up and repent. This consistent theme throughout the Old Testament makes this account that much more intriguing.…

1 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.” 3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord . Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey in…

Jonah’s faith needed some realignment in order to follow God’s heart; how does God align our faith today?

“On New Year’s Day, 1929, Georgia Tech played University of California in the Rose Bowl. In that game a man named Roy Riegels recovered a fumble for California. Somehow, he became confused and started running 65 yards in the wrong direction. One of his teammates, Benny Lom, ran him down and tackled him…

Turn from your evil ways

Verse 17 There have been many attempts over the years to guess as to what type of fish this was, and that attempt is also the reason that so many scholars want to dismiss this as an allegory, but as we saw last week this was not allegory since Jesus Himself quoted this event in reference to His own time…

Introduction Good morning and welcome to FCC where we worship God in spirit and in truth one verse at a time. Praise God for that message of music. You know music has a way of not only ministering to the Lord, but to each one of us in a special way. And I know that that was a sweet smelling aroma unto…

THE SETUP FOR CHAPTER 3 We continue our journey through the upside down story of Jonah. A story where people who aren’t followers of Yahweh call out to Him and offer sacrifices to Him and Jonah, a prophet of Yahweh, who runs from Him. A story where God speaks to a fish. Last week we focused on Jonah’s…

Introduction Last week we heard Jesus disprove a popular theory that people have about neutrality toward God. Jesus said... 23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. That should dispel the idea people get in their heads about being okay with God as long as…

Hearing God’s Call: Jonah The Prophet Who Argues With God With Jonah, we get not just God’s word, but a conversation. Jeremiah also connects with God this way. BOTH were rather reluctant prophets.
