     | 5,101 views

    A look at the dangers that come with presuming on God giving a second chances. Thankfully, He is a God who loves giving second chances, but sometimes we get in trouble by expecting they'll always be available.

    DOES GOD ALWAYS GIVE A SECOND CHANCE? Second chances are a gift, not a right. - Jonah 3:1. - We should not presume on God’s mercy. - There are times when a window of opportunity on a second chance closes: a. Timing issue with the opportunity. - Example: my church plant getting ...read more

     | 6,500 views

    The LORD is merciful to those who repent.

    NINEVEH. Jonah 3. The LORD has a case against cities and nations which are full of wickedness (Jonah 1:2) It was not God who brought evil upon mankind, but man himself.

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 6, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,076 views

    A look at how we frequently judge the inward readiness by the outward appearance and why that doesn't work.

    HOW CAN YOU TELL WHO IS READY TO RECEIVE GOD?

    Swallowed Up

     | 4,946 views

    Any time you run from God, you never go “up"; you always go “down.” God sometimes allows us to face frightening circumstances so that we will learn to trust and obey Him. It’s always best to obey the Lord right away - then we won’t be “swallowed up.”

    Opening illustration: Being shocked by electricity can be very dangerous. Just ask professional golf legend Lee Trevino. He was struck by lightning while sitting under a tree during a tournament several years ago. He said, “It bolted my arms and legs out stiff, jerked me off the ...read more

God loves repentance. - Here God has every ...read more

     | 3,419 views

    We want God's grace given to us but we're not as happy when God's grace is extended to the person who hurt us. This message looks at Jonah's anger and what God expects of us toward those who've hurt us.

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 25, 2017
     | 9,569 views

    Desperation is often the harbinger to breakthrough. Although this message was preached prior to the presidential election, the principles taught still apply nationally and individually. How does God use desperation to ultimately bless us?

    Fleeing From God Series

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Mar 6, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,975 views

    To escape the presence of God is not rational thinking, certainly for a prophet of God. But how many of us are rational when we reject God’s commands and escape his attention? And that leads us to consider how much Jonah is like us.

    Jonah 1:1-4 Fleeing from God 10/19/14 D. Marion Clark Introduction Responding to the call of God is a mixed bag among biblical characters. There is Abraham, the model of obedience. God calls him to leave his homeland and he leaves. God calls him to sacrifice his son, and he rises early the next ...read more

    “Do you know what God wants?” He wants to be believed. I could have learned that lesson earlier if I had paid attention to the response of the Ninevites to Jonah’s preaching.

    Jonah 3:1-9 Believing God 11/9/14 D. Marion Clark Introduction I can remember the moment when I learned one of my most significant spiritual lessons.
