    This sermon lists several lessons to be learned from the life and ministry of the Old Testament prophet, Jonah.

    LESSONS WE CAN LEARN FROM THE PROPHET JONAH Text: Matthew 12:38-41 "Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation ...read more

    Why is it that we don’t share our faith in Christ more? Maybe Jonah can shed some light on the subject. Learn 5 attitudes that keep us from reaching others from his life.

    This Ain’t No Fish Story! I want to tell you a story this morning about a fish. But it’s anything but a “fish story”. Most of us can probably remember the story of “Jonah & the Whale” from our Sunday School days, but maybe now that we’re all grown up, we kind of put it in the same category as ...read more

    Even though He will have face-to-face confrontations with the Pharisees from time to time after this, where we are now is a critical juncture in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, especially as it pertains to His relationship with the spiritual leader

    Jesus And The Forbidding Pharisees – Part 5 Matthew 12:22-45 Sign, Sign, Everywhere A Sign Matthew 12:38-45 As we draw near the end of our study in Matthew 12, I thought it might be a good time for an overview.

    Jesus made it clear that the Bible contains more information than anyone could ever need to recognize Him and be saved.

    Introduction "Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: for as ...read more

    This is a study on the subject of what day of the week was Jesus crucified to fulfill the prophecy He spoke about Himself in Matt. 12:40.

    Three Days and Three Nights: On What Day of the Week Was Jesus Crucified? This morning we are going to have a little Bible Study as opposed to a sermon. A few weeks ago I was approached with a question concerning the timing of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ that I have found many ...read more

    We are more like the Pharisees than we would like to admit - hiding our true selves from others and from God and blaming external things for the consequences of our own behavior. But Jesus offers real hope if we will open up to Him in relationship.

    The act of projection involves blaming things outside of yourself for your problems. The act of denying personal responsibility means it is the fault of your spouse, your boss, the government, the weather, or even that tool you were using. The Pharisees were masters at projection, and as it turns ...read more

    The human mind and spirit cannot endure for very long the chaotic vacillation of such lawlessness before the individual eventually cries out for answers to the extremes of licentiousness and total control. Throughout much of the Modern Era, the Christian apologist could appeal to a shared respect ...read more

    The Embodiment Of God's Unremitting Love Series

    Jesus’s preaching differed from that of Jonah because Jonah prophesied judgement and vengeance, while Jesus embodied God’s unremitting love.

    Monday of 16th Week in Course 20 July 2009 Caritas in Veritate Before continuing a commentary on the papal encyclical Love in Truth, let me spend a moment on this analogy to Jonah. Jesus is saying to these Jewish non-believers, in effect, “Jonah eventually got it, and you guys will never get it.” ...read more

    Jack, a friend of mine, is unable to walk. When I spoke to him about God, he said "If God was real He wouldn’t leave me like this. I don’t deserve this. Where’s the proof that God exists?"

    Part 12 - Matthew 12:22-42 - THE CANVAS OF MY HEART Yesterday I was reading about a man called Han van Meegeren who was a Dutch artist and an extremely talented ART FORGER.

    The Sign of Jonah Matt. 12:38-40 INTRO.: The Jewish leaders confronted Jesus demanding “a sign.” by this they meant some miraculous event attesting to the truth of what He said.
