Jonah - Relentless Love of God - Jonah 3-4: If you've ever been on the receiving end of compassion, you know how lifechanging it can be--especially when the alternative would have been very negative. As we conclude our journey through the book of Jonah this week, the story focuses on a revolting people group (the Ninevites) and a resistant prophet (Jonah) who both receive miraculous compassion from God, yet their responses are entirely different. We are meant to see ourselves in Jonah's story, and wrestle with the fact that God sends the resistant and spares the revolting to save the repentant.
Jonah Runs Against God | Jonah 4 by Osterville Baptist Church
Jonah - Relentless Love of God - Jonah 2: How do you respond when you are “caught”? This is a very uncomfortable feeling we are all familiar with. So often when we are caught doing something we should not do, our first impulse is to run and hide but this never leads us to a place of healing and freedom. Join us this week as we look at the life of Jonah, in Jonah chapter 2, and experience through the Scriptures, how after a failed attempt to run and hide, Jonah finally turns to God and receives meaningful help in his time of need. This help is available for us today too! Can't wait for you to join us and bring a friend!
Jonah's lowest point became the turning point. Swallowed by a big fish, he discovered what we all have to: idols fail, but God's grace never quits. Salvation belongs to the Lord—stop your running and return.
Running With God | Jonah 3 by Osterville Baptist Church
Jonah - Relentless Love of God - Jonah 1: Have you ever heard the phrase, "You can run but you can't hide!" It's usually spoken with a bit of a sinister undertone, as in, "Once I find you, you'll face the consequences!" I've done my fair share of running in my life. From other people, from my responsibilities, and of course, from God. But when God says to us, "You can run but you can't hide," the consequences are not what we would expect. God pursues us, not to punish, but to restore. His relentless love seeks to make us stop running, turn around, and come back to the one who offers us forgiveness and salvation. One of the most powerful examples of this is through the life and story of Jonah. Come hear what it means to stop running, and start resting, in the relentless love of God. And bring a friend!

We explore Jonah's earlier prophetic role in 2 Kings, the contradictions between Jonah and Amos, and the troubling question of why Jonah speaks blessing to one evil nation and withholds mercy from another. Along the way, we encounter a God whose covenant faithfulness spans centuries—and whose mercy unsettles even his own prophets.Episode 206 of the Two Texts Podcast | Jonah Beyond the Whale 3If you want to get in touch about something in the podcast you can reach out on podcast@twotexts.com or by liking and following the Two Texts podcast on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

The Story of Jonah reveals God's great mercy to at least three people or groups of people: Jonah, the sailors, and the Ninevites. God's mercy is related to his grace and patience and all three flow out of God's goodness and love. Mercy is not just what God possesses; it is who God is. God has mercy on all in a general way by providing food to eat and air to breathe. But God provides special mercy in Jesus!

Jesus Is the Hero of the Story – Week 7The Unlimited Mercy of God (Jonah 1–4)When we limit who we show mercy to, we limit our experience of God's mercy. In Jonah's story, we see how prejudice can lead us to disobedience, blind us to our need for grace, and keep us from celebrating what God delights in. But through Jesus, we're offered a better way. He obeyed perfectly, saved us knowingly, and gives us a new heart so we can reflect His mercy to a world that desperately needs it.

They speak Dzalakha and follow Tibetan Buddhism, which is deeply woven into their cultural identity. Life among the Dzala is marked by poverty and simplicity, with little access to modern resources or gospel witness. No known Christians or evangelical believers exist among them, and they don't have a Bible or the Jesus Film in their language. Pray for workers to bring the good news to the Dzala, and for their hearts to hunger for the hope only found in Christ.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 07/06 33,686Giving For 07/13 45,749YTD Budget 69,231Giving 79,435 OVER/(UNDER) 10,204 Fellowship Women's Recipe SwapJoin us TONIGHT for a night of tasting great food and exchanging time tested recipes with ladies from Fellowship.

Episode Summary: Why do we run from what God clearly calls us to do? In this message, Matthew Balentine explores the story of Jonah and reveals the real reasons we resist the mission of God—fear, discomfort, pride, and inconvenience. You'll learn how God's grace patiently pursues us, how He uses storms to redirect us, and why He always offers a second chance. Whether you're struggling with obedience or afraid to take the next step, this message invites you to stop running and start trusting. Key Takeaways: The 3 reasons we avoid God's call What Jonah's storm teaches us about spiritual wake-up calls Why comfort can be more dangerous than cost The power of second chances How to simply and confidently share God's love Scripture: Jonah 1–3 Speaker: Matthew Balentine Series: The Mission Starts Here
We all run from something—conflict, responsibility, conviction—but Jonah ran from God. Faced with fear, anger, or pride, we can find ourselves headed in the opposite direction of where God is calling us. But even in our rebellion, God pursues us with mercy, not to punish, but to invite back to Him. Teacher - Tom Harrigan
Pastor Adam Haugen closes the Jonah series reminding us: it's easy to do God's work without His heart. Jonah 4 shows how God's grace can offend when we cling to comfort over calling. The story ends unresolved, but God's mercy never stops. Jesus, greater than Jonah (Matthew 12:41), is proof that God chases us down with compassion and second chances.#Jonah #GladTidings #Grace #SecondChances #PastorAdamHaugen
Jun 29, 2025 GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchThe Balance of GodJonah 4:5-111. The direction of disobedience, v. 5 Here are some examples from Genesis of how eastward movement symbolizes departure from God's will… a) Adam & Eve are put out of the Garden on the east side b) Cain settles east of Eden c) The builders of Babel are headed east when they decide to build a tower so as to make a name for themselves d) Lot separated from Abram and traveled east near Sodom and GomorrahHere is how we drift away from God… 1) a fixation on the physical over the spiritual in your priorities 2) a loss of sensitivity“You will say that these are very small sins; and doubtless, like all young tempters, you are anxious to be able to report spectacular wickedness. But do remember, the only thing that matters is the extent to which you separate the man from the God. It does not matter how small the sins are provided that their cumulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and out into the Nothing. Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one — the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.” - C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters 3) the glorification of feelings2. God acts sovereignly to reveal His nature and our need, v. 6-8Three ways God demonstrates His nature… a) His name- v. 6- “YHWH Elohim” ⁃ YHWH- speaking to Israelites (particular) ⁃ Elohim- speaking to non-Israelites (universal) b) His sovereignty- “appointed…” c) His patience- v. 9 Three ways God demonstrates our need… a) provision- v. 5 b) experience- v. 6 ⁃ Matthew 7:1-2 c) isolation- v. 8b3. God is not ashamed of you, v. 10-11 2 Peter 3:9-10Mental worship… 1. What does drifting away from God feel like in your life? 2. Are you biggest priorities physical or spiritual in nature? 3. What is the latest thing you could clearly identify as God's provision? 4. Is there anything you think or feel but you only say to yourself? 5. What are some of your takeaways from the book of Jonah?

What do you do when you've been running from God—and you finally hit rock bottom?In part two of our series through the book of Jonah, Pastor Adam Haugen explores Jonah's turning point in the belly of the fish—a moment of desperation that led to heartfelt prayer and a renewed sense of purpose. Through humor, raw honesty, and powerful biblical truth, we're reminded: it's never too late to pray, and God is always working—sometimes even in the mess.If you've ever felt like you were too far gone or too stuck to hear God's voice, this message will encourage you to stop running from God and start running to Him. Because even in the storm, even in the struggle, God's grace is closer than you think.

Sins (Part 20) - Stop Trying to Run Away from God | Jonah 1:1-3 | 1 June 2025 - Sunday Evening | Dr. Brad Weniger, Pastor
Join us as Pastor Roger continues the 3rd part of the series of Jonah, with the message Running With God.
What do you do when God asks you to do something you don't want to do?In this first message of our new series through the book of Jonah, we see the story of a prophet who hears God clearly—but chooses to run. Jonah's resistance isn't rooted in fear—it's rooted in pride, bitterness, and a clash of values. And if we're honest, many of us can relate.Pastor Adam walks us through Jonah chapter 1 and unpacks what happens when we run from God: life unravels, worship becomes hollow, and others can even get caught in our storm. But the good news? God's grace always runs faster than we do.This message will challenge your comfort, expose hidden compromise, and call you back to full obedience to the voice of God.

Running From God: Jonah 1:1-3, w/Darren Tyler
Join us for College Nights this semester as we dive into the book of Jonah! As we began in chapter 1, we saw that like Jonah, we run from God far more often than we care to admit or than we even realize. However, when we finally admit that rebellion, we'll see that God is far more merciful than we could ever imagine and that He will stop at nothing to pursue us with His love.Support the show

This week we're reading the story Jonah as told in the book of Jonah chapters 1, 3, & 4. The story opens with God sending Jonah to prophesy against Israel's greatest enemy, the Assyrians, in their capital city of Nineveh. Jonah at first runs away from God, preferring to take his chances in the sea, where he is famously saved by spending three days in the belly of a fish. But when Jonah finally does make it to Nineveh, speaking only the minimum words of prophecy, the city undergoes a massive repentance, from the king to the cows, evoking the mercy of God, who decides not to destroy them. What might this story tell us about God's compassion toward our own enemies, we wonder. Are there people that we, like Jonah, wish God would not be merciful to? And what small word might God be asking us to say to our enemies so that they, too, might experience God's compassion?
