John 13:1–17What drew people to Jesus? How was He different from others? Why would twelve busy and fairly successful men quit their jobs and follow Him? The same reason you were drawn to your mentor. It's time for us to see the value in this virtue, especially in this narcissistic age when everybody, it seems, is ready to be the top dog. Well, hopefully, not everybody.Copyright © 2019, 2020 by Charles R.

While the marvelous repentance of the Ninevites unfolded before the eyes of the prophet Jonah, how did Jonah respond? With complaining and grumbling!The rebellious prophet still held a tinge, probably more, of racism leaving him crestfallen over the Ninevites' positive response to God's message.While it's natural to live resentful and selfish because we're sinful, fallen beings, Chuck Swindoll teaches us a better way so we can avoid the way of Jonah and, instead, walk in the way of Jesus.

Jonah: The Reluctant Prophet

Jonah obeyed when God came to him a second time. Jonah journeyed east to Nineveh and delivered what just might be the shortest sermon ever preached.As God's message of truth spread through Nineveh, God ensured that a seed of just a few words sprouted a full harvest of spiritual fruit. Every Ninevite, perhaps as many as 600,000, turned away from their brutal and wicked ways toward the living God.What did God do? He averted His judgment. Chuck Swindoll walks us through the remainder of Jonah chapter three to teach us the power of God's Word and the grace in God's heart; He'd much rather replace destruction with compassion.

Psalm 139:23–24; Galatians 1:11–17; 1 Timothy 4:7–8In our hurry-up, noisy world, we rarely hit the pause button. But there's much to learn when we are quiet . . . when we allow solitude to open our eyes, our ears, our minds. Maybe it's time for you to tap the brakes. As you hear this message you'll realize why.Copyright © 2019, 2020 by Charles R.

Summary: In this episode, Dr. Michael Easley interviews Dr. S Jonathan Murphy—professor at Dallas Theological Seminary and new lead pastor at Stonebriar Community Church—about his remarkable upbringing and ministry journey. Dr. Murphy shares how he grew up immersed in a culturally Spanish world while rooted in a Northern Irish evangelical home. His early faith was shaped by the tight-knit church his father pastored and the missionary stories he heard as a child. By age seven, Jonathan had come to a personal faith in Christ, a decision that would shape his life's calling. After studying in Scotland, Dr. Murphy was unexpectedly led to Dallas Theological Seminary, where mentors like Dr. Howard Hendricks and Dr. Dwight Pentecost guided him toward pastoral ministry and eventually into academic training. He served faithfully as a local pastor in Northern Ireland before God called him back to Dallas to teach and eventually join the team at Stonebriar. Takeaways: Dr. S Jonathan Murphy grew up in a missionary household in Spain, learning faith through everyday family and church life. He transitioned from pastoring in Belfast to teaching and leading at Dallas Seminary, following God's unexpected direction. Chuck Swindoll personally mentored Dr. Murphy, preparing him over years to step into leadership at Stonebriar Community Church. Dr. Murphy believes discipleship should flow naturally from genuine community—not be limited to structured programs. Fidelity in ministry matters more than church size or reputation—quiet, steady faithfulness is the real success. The church should function as a spiritual family where people truly belong, support one another, and grow together.
