  • The Life of Jonah Part 2 -Agitated and Angry Jonah

    The Life of Jonah Part 2 -Agitated and Angry Jonah
    Jun 23 2021
    Jonah becomes agitated and angry when God forgives the people of Nineveh. The life of Jonah part 2 will discuss why Jonah was wrong in his thinking towards the people. of Nineveh. We begin this podcast by reading Jonah 4:1-2. In these two verses, we see that Jonah becomes mad after he had visited the people of Nineveh. This great revival is taking place, and we learn the preacher hates the congregation. Jonah did not like his congregation. Jonah then states that he knew God was slow to anger when he did not do what he was supposed to. Jonah wanted to see destruction come to the people of Nineveh. The Syrians were very cruel people, and Jonah knew this. If they had repented, God is true to forgive them. This leads to Jonah becoming angry and agitated. Jonah makes this clear in chapter four.

    The Life of Jonah Part 3 -The Attributes of God
    Jun 30 2021
    Jonah list the absolute attributes of God. Those include merciful, slow to anger, of great kindness, and just. The life of Jonah part 3 will discuss why Jonah learns of God's forgiveness. We begin this podcast by reading Jonah 4:2. In this verse, we learn of the attributes that Jonah knows of God. Micah 7:19 states, "He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities, and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea." If you have ever heard the phrase, He cast your sin into the sea of forgetfulness, this is the origins of that verse. The Bible is clear that we all have sinned, except one person. That person is Jesus Christ. Listen to the full episode to hear the attributes of God that Jonah lists, and our cross-reference for these attributies.

    The Life of Jonah Part 4 -God is at Work in the Storm
    Jul 7 2021
    God is at work in the storm, even though we may not think so from time to time. Jesus reminds us all of this in John 5:17. Jesus reminds us of his Fathers and his work in our lives in John 5:17. If you are facing the storms of life, and you wonder where God is, don’t fret. He may be right there working in your life, as he did in Jonah’s life. Just watch out for a great fish! We as people will sometime think of storms as being something bad that takes place in the world. While we look at storms as being bad, and sometimes they are, God may be at work in you during the storm. This may be his way of changing our course. It can also be God’s way of waking us up to what we have taking place in our life. God is at work in Jonah’s life with a storm, and as Thurston would say, “this is gonna be good.” Be sure to listen to the full series on The life of Jonah.
