    One of the greatest blessings is for God to send to man His word. The prophet Amos warned the people of his day the dangers when he said, “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirs

    It seems today people will disobey with both hands before they would be obedient with one hand.

    The disobedience of Jonah. Jonah 1:3 08/31/05 When we think of Bible heroes, we think of Jonah. But we find as disappointing as we may find, we do find that our heroes failed at times. Maybe not as noticeable as did Jonah, but they do fail. But his failures should not discourage us but teach us ...read more

    The misconduct of one statesman can lay waste a nation. It only takes one drunk driver on the highway to leave a scar and an empty chair in a family.

    Disturbance Jonah 1:4-6 This is our third lesson in the book of Jonah. If we could take one word and maybe describe the first two verses, we would have to say duty. And if we used one word to describe what we read in verse 3 we would have to say disobedience. Duty and disobedience should not be ...read more

    The sailors had been in many storms no doubt, but there was something different about this one.

    You know I believe we ought to look seriously at the scene on the ship. I know we have already talked about Jonah on the ship but there are some other lessons we can learn from this picture. Actually, what we can learn is something about the detection of Jonah’s sin. What we have here is something ...read more

    Christians are called to sail into the unknown, making disciples, like Jonah...but sometimes we try to go our own way and create all kinds of problems.

    Can anybody finish this sentence… “In 1492, Columbus sailed the _______ “? • That’s how I’ve always remembered the story of Columbus… now here’s a great adventurer! In a day when nobody believed that the Earth was round, Columbus had this crazy idea that to get to India he would sail off in the ...read more

    Jonah depended on family and nationality as the basis of his Spirituality. His relationship does not go to the heart.

    Last week we talked about free will. How Jonah was exercising his free will when he went and caught a boat going the opposite direction from where God send him. We looked over the scripture to determine Jonah’s qualifications. If he was being called for the first time as a Prophet. From the ...read more

    Sermon #2 in a series of 4 on the book of Jonah

    Introduction: 1. In some ways you might say that this week’s sermon is the exact opposite of what we studied in the first sermon on Jonah. Last week’s title was, "Jonah Running from God," as you have probably noticed, this week’s is, "Jonah Running to God." 2. Before we go farther in our study I ...read more
