How does the Old Testament point directly to Jesus Christ? This week on Catholic Women Now, Julie Nelson and Chris Magruder welcome renowned Catholic speaker and teacher Barbara Heil for a fascinating discussion on “types and shadows” in Sacred Scripture. Barbara explains how the people, symbols, events, and imagery of the Old Testament foreshadow the realities fulfilled in Christ and the Catholic faith. From the Passover lamb and Jonah to the tabernacle, Ark of the Covenant, and the Israelites' journey out of Egypt, listeners will discover how the Bible tells one unified story of salvation. In this episode: What “types and shadows” mean in Scripture How the Old Testament prepares us for Christ Biblical connections to baptism, the Eucharist, and the Mass The spiritual meaning behind the tabernacle and sacred objects Why understanding Scripture strengthens Catholic faith How revelation leads to transformation Barbara Heil brings Scripture alive in a way that helps Catholics encounter the heart of God through His Word.

Dave Maugham, on Pentecost Sunday, encourages us to hear what God is saying to us through the account of Jonah and the Whale.
This Easter, Pastor Karl takes an unconventional approach — rather than turning to a traditional resurrection passage, he stays in the church's ongoing study of Matthew 12, the hinge point of Jesus's ministry and the moment that set the crucifixion in motion.Through Matthew 12, Pastor Karl unpacks what it truly means to reckon with who Jesus claimed to be. He explores the miracle of the possessed, blind, and mute man — and how the religious leaders' refusal to accept what they witnessed reveals the same pattern of avoidance that people default to today. Jesus's response cuts through every excuse: there is no neutral ground. You're either for him or against him.Pastor Karl also addresses one of Scripture's most misunderstood concepts — the unforgivable sin. He sets the record straight on what blasphemy against the Holy Spirit actually means, why it's less about God's refusal to forgive and more about humanity's refusal to repent, and how a hardened heart doesn't happen overnight.The sermon closes with the Sign of Jonah — Jesus's declaration that the resurrection would be the only sign his generation would receive. Pastor Karl's challenge to listeners is direct: you don't need more evidence. The resurrection isn't a suggestion or an invitation. It's a declaration. The question is simply what you'll do with what you already know.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

God would transition me after he stripped everything... I was secure in a way. Each time He would build me to be a NEW person. Humble and totally dependent on Him. I would go from... strength, to broken insecurity, to desperation, to praying in brokenness, to God opening His doors, and me then walking through them in His strength. That's how He likes us... good and humble. A lot of it is like the story of Jonah found in the Old Testament. I like where I am, I am comfortable, and I am secure. I know who I like and who I don't like... it all makes sense. When we are those things for a long period of time, as humans, we stop growing. God is all about growth and preparing us for what He designed us to do. It's possible that there is more to you than you ever imagined! _______________________________ Looking for a new student ministry resource?

This episode begins with the idea that we are living in flood times again as we face overwhelming changes at most levels of life. Deluge and flood stories have been found even in landlocked places, as if to make clear that it is not simply the literal seas that can overflow, but also the psychic waters of the unconscious that can overwhelm an individual or an entire culture. In the old story of Noah, a great ark serves as a life preserving vessel in the midst of great loss and worldwide flooding. In the tale of Jonah, the life enhancing vessel turns out to be a whale which acts as a kind of cosmic womb. In this archetypal vision, the belly of the whale becomes a place of revelation of the mysteries of life and a source of knowledge and wisdom that is missing at the surface of life. In the symbolic womb, what is worth saving in the individual soul becomes saved; while what is misconceived, misguided and riddled with fear becomes dissolved. Emerging from the belly of the whale depicts a passage from the darkness of primordial chaos to the light of creation. This kind of redemption from below becomes the source of a genuine hope that comes from facing darkness and despair and finding a psychological rebirth and spiritual regeneration.

Sunday, Jan. 21, 2024. This morning, Rev. Dr. Lori Walke preaches from the book of Jonah, chapter 3, verses 1 through 5, and verse 10. Livestreamed from the sanctuary of Mayflower Congregational UCC Church in Oklahoma City.
This is the first episode of a 4-part series on Jonah. This series looks at the life and ministry of Jonah in regards to his reluctant obedience as a prophet of God. In this first episode (corresponding with Jonah Chapter 1), we see Jonah's flee from God's call. We see his disobedience causing consequences for Jonah and even the men on the ship (innocent bystanders to what Jonah has done). We also see God's care and compassion for the lost. This first episode is the springboard for where the rest of the book will take us. Encourage you to listen in and please share with someone who you think will be impacted by this message.

Are you surprised by the love of God? This weekend Pastor Steve wrapped up our JONAH AND THE WHALE series with a message about God's compassion. Jonah 4:11But the Lord said, “Should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left?”Jonah was wrestling with understanding God's love for Nineveh. God was patiently trying to help Jonah understand:1) The PRODIGAL love of God.Prodigal is a word that means wild or lavish. To Jonah, God's compassion for Nineveh seems misdirected, but that just shows Jonah didn't understand how undeserving he was of God's compassion. Surprise is the right response to God's love for us sinners!2) The PATIENT love of God.God has patience with Jonah as he stumbles again and again. He doesn't appreciate how forgiving God has been toward him.2 Peter 3:9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.How patient is the love of God? We might be wrong for a lifetime, and God will still give us an opportunity to get right. 3) The PERSISTENT love of God.Jonah rationalized his anger and resentment. But God sent the storm, the whale, the tree, the worm and the wind to change Jonah's thinking.This kind of love comes only from God, and so it has to be received before it can be shared with others. Have you been surprised by the love of God?
Today, we hear the story of the prophet Jonah, who, unlike Amos, does not want the people to repent. The readings are 2 Kings 15, Jonah 1-4, and Psalm 138.

How do you react to disappointments? Jonah preaches to Nineveh, and the whole city repents. But then, in a twist of the story, Jonah is angry and complains to God.Jonah 4:3-5Now, Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.” But the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?” Jonah had gone out and sat down at a place east of the city. There he made himself a shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city.Jonah should have been grateful to see change in the city, but his motives are mixed, and his heart is divided. James 1 says, “A double-minded person is unstable in all they do.” What does Jonah teach us about our hearts?1) Everyone begins their relationship with God for selfish reasons.When we come to God, it is almost always out of self-interest, but God still accepts us! Once we begin to see God, our hearts change from seeing him as useful, to seeing him as beautiful.2) Everyone needs to tend to their heart regularly.The daily disciplines of scripture reading, prayer and confession are meant to help us lead our hearts toward wholeness and devotion to God.3) Everyone needs to experience the grace of God to have an undivided heart.Every rival god in our hearts demands our utter devotion, but leaves us empty-handed. With God, it's the opposite.The grace of God is shorthand for how Jesus gave everything for us, so we could be free to love God with an undivided heart!
Despite sin, rejection and disobedience, the Word of the Lord still came! This weekend Pastor Joaquin Pardo continued our JONAH AND THE WHALE series with a message about the love of our Father!Jonah 1:1-3 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before me.” But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. John 1:11-12He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.1. Your Father in Heaven isn't afraid of rejection.There is a pattern all throughout the Bible that shows the world and the people of God rejecting God. However, there is also a pattern of God's love and grace towards his people. Despite rejection, God still comes to us.2. You are never disconnected from the Father's love.Although Jonah rejected the Word of the Lord and attempted to run away from him, that never disqualified him from being a child of God. God never stopped loving him. Our sin and disobedience is not strong enough to keep us away from the Father's love.3. Your heavenly Father loves you too much to let you drown in your mess.The Lord sent his word, a storm, and even appointed a whale to rescue Jonah from the mess Jonah created. Over 2,000 years ago, our heavenly Father appointed his son Jesus to rescue us from our sin, rejection and brokenness. The work of salvation has been completed in the person and work of Jesus. All we need to do is receive this free gift!
What is God teaching you through your troubles? After Jonah's experience in the fish, he was a changed man. Jonah 3:1-2Then the Lord spoke to Jonah a second time: “Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh, and deliver the message I have given you.”God uses disappointments, failures and suffering to bring change to our hearts and lives. What did Jonah learn in the school of suffering?1) Suffering teaches us how to be humble.When we deny our brokenness, we delay our healing. Suffering shines a light on our need for God, not just to help our suffering, but to heal our sin.2) Suffering teaches us how to help.Your greatest gift will often come from the place of your deepest wound. In failure and pain we learn to be compassionate and sensitive to others.3) Suffering teaches us how to hope.A rugged hope in God's redemption gives us strength to endure, even when circumstances are unresolved. Don't let the dark nights go to waste! Because Jesus paid the penalty for our sin, God can redeem every failure and every disappointment!
In today's episode, the guys talk about the story of Jonah, one of the stories of the Bible which is most mocked by atheists because it is seen as impossible. However, as Christians we know that with God nothing is impossible. Listeners are reminded that God created heaven and the earth out of nothing, therefore anything is possible. As students of God, we need to allow His Word to say what it says and be what it is. Jonah's story is presented as history, not fiction. God is a miraculous, extravagant God who holds the whole world in His hands. When we begin to explain God's Word away to make it more acceptable to the present culture, we are denouncing God's truth. The most fascinating thing about Jonah's story is just how short the book of Jonah could have been. If he had obeyed God's order to cry out against the wickedness of the city, he never would have endured the belly of the whale. Jonah's sin was not disobeying God, but that he was angry with God for loving his own enemies. However, God loves everyone, enemy or not. As Christians, we must also go out to spread God's Word with love in our hearts for our own enemies. Jonah's story goes to show how blinding hatred can be that it dims our view of Christs' love and compassion. When talking about these figures from the Bible, we should remember that we have something they don't: the cross, which serves as evidence of God's love for us. Thus, we should be forgiving of our enemies and love them just as God does. While Jonah spent three days in the belly of a whale, Jesus spent three days in the tomb. It is the very same power of God which caused the whale to spit Jonah out which also resurrected Jesus from the dead. Jonah's sin was what put him in his predicament, but it was our sin which sent Jesus to the cross. In this way, Jesus is the better Jonah. We should all aim to be men who God may use at all costs.
