Podcasts about jonah god

Throughout the book of Jonah God reveals His character to us. He demonstrates His sovereignty and proves His love is for all people everywhere. He taught us of the greatness of His mercy and the lengths He will go to prove His love to those who don't deserve it. For those of us who know God's mercy and have benefited from it, how can we do any less than treat others the way God treats us! --- God wants all people everywhere to know His great love for them. And long before the Great Commission was given to the church, God chose a prophet named Jonah to tell people in Nineveh about God's amazing grace. Jonah knew God was merciful and initially responded in disobedience by not bringing God's message to a people he saw as his enemy. Throughout this sermon series we will see how God gives second chances, demonstrates His compassion, and proves His love for all people everywhere.

Ever tried running from something God asked you to do? You're not alone. Jonah did more than drag his feet—he bought a one-way ticket in the opposite direction. Yet, through storms, sailors, and even a giant fish, Jonah discovered what we all need to know: you can't outrun God's love. This five-part series from Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., dives into one of the Bible's most surprising stories—a prophet who said “no,” a city no one thought could change, and a God whose mercy refuses to quit. Along the way, we'll wrestle with tough questions: Who are the “Ninevites” in our lives? How do we respond when God calls us to love the unlovable? And what does Jonah's messy, unfinished story reveal about our own? Join us as we explore Jonah's story of rebellion and redemption—and discover the relentless mercy of a God who never stops pursuing His people.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

Dave Brisbin 7.13.25 How many times have you asked God for a sign? Desperately cried out for any toehold you could get on some certainty…imploring, making bargains. Great scene in the movie Bruce Almighty, begging for a sign but too focused on his pain to see all the signs along the road until he's finally stopped in his tracks, forced to admit his loss of control. Art imitating life. When religious authorities ask Jesus for a sign, he refuses, calling them an evil generation—bisha in Aramaic—literally unripe, unready, unprepared. He knows as with almighty Bruce, no sign will be enough to convince them of anything until they are prepared to see. Except for the sign of Jonah. We all know Jonah: God asks him to preach to the people of Nineveh but he hates them so much, wants to see them burn, that he runs away aboard a ship only to be swallowed by a great fish. He camps in the fish for three days, until he can finally admit his loss of control. Ironically, Jonah is the only Old Testament prophet who successfully preaches a people to repentance, but when God spares the city, Jonah is not happy. This is why he ran away. He knew his God, the extent of God's love and compassion. But his own love was still tribal. His God should not be their God. God's love should not extend to those he hated. The descent of his three days in the belly of the beast brought him to the gates of Nineveh, but he'd need another descent before he could extend his love all the way to the enemy. This is the way of it. No sign will ever be enough to overcome our human fears and need for tribal certainty. But the sign of Jonah, descending deep enough, long enough to implode our narrow view of life and love, is the only way to become free enough to see a greater expanse. Whether through external trauma and loss, or internally through intentional spiritual formation, if we're willing to surrender to the beast, we still won't find certainty—that's impossible. But in stripping off illusion, the reality of love extending everywhere, filling every crack, can convince us our borders are artificial, our tribes too small, and our identity defined only in each other.

Once upon a time… what comes next? A great story! The Bible is no fairytale, but full of fascinating, controversial, and inspiring characters. Join us this summer as we read about those you may have met in Sunday School: Esther, Jonah, David, Priscilla and more. Complicated people – just like us.  The truth that we glean from these saints can help us connect with Jesus and give us wisdom for everyday life. Today we talk about how Jonah shows us how God's love and mercy is so much bigger than we can imagine.Support the show

In this message, we explore the story of Jonah—not as a tale of a reluctant prophet and a big fish, but as a revelation of God's heart. God's call for Jonah to preach to Nineveh wasn't just a mission—it was a message: He is a God of compassion, slow to anger, and abounding in love—even for His enemies. Discover how Jonah's story challenges our assumptions about who deserves grace and calls us to reflect that same mercy in our own lives.

Send us a textIt is not uncommon to find ourselves in situations that are beyond our control. But that's okay because God is always in Control.In the story of Jonah, the sailors are in a storm that is threatening their lives. They finally realize that God is bigger and if they do what He says the storm will cease, and it did because they did.Let's apply this principle to our own lives and follow the leading of God when things get beyond our ability to handle them.

Send us a textWe can resist the will of God for our lives but that will never end well. God will use people, circumstances and events to turn us to the way He wants us to go. He used a gret storm ands the sailors to turn Jonah.  And He will do the same with you.We have some good lessons here on how to stay in the good graces of God so things will go well with us.

Jonah: God's Heart for the Nations  2 Kings 14:25 Truth to Power (1 and 2 Kings) pt. 10 Glenkirk Church August 4, 2024 Pastor Tim Peck

In this week's sermon, Pastor Jordan explores how to navigate seasons of hardship and despair, drawing lessons from Jonah's prayer in his darkest hour. Discover essential insights on how prayer can be a powerful response when we feel trapped in adversity, emphasizing practical ways to seek God's guidance and provision amidst life's challenges.

This week's service featured quite a bit of special music, so that has been included in this episode of the podcast for all the enjoy!   We started with a special Opening Voluntary, with Marian Steed, soprano, singing “O Gracious Light” in an arrangement by Dorothy Papadakos that features a Whale Recording by Dr. Roger Payne. The unpublished music setting by Dorothy Papadakos offers us the opportunity hear the voice of the whale in the vastness of the ocean. The text (Phos Hilaron) from Ancient Greek praises the light that shines on all creation. Biologist and environmentalist Dr. Roger Payne (1935-2023) is famous for his discovery of whale songs while researching and recording humpback whales. The Phos Hilaron, Gladdening Light, is a Greek song of devotion and prayer. Dorothy Papadakos, Juilliard trained, has served as organist of St. John the Divine in New York City and also worked with Paul Winter. “O Gracious Light” was commissioned for the 60th Anniversary of the Alston Memorial Organ at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Atlanta, GA, and dedicated to Paul Winter. Papadakos has graciously allowed Dawn McCord to adapt “O Gracious Light (With Whales)” for our worship today. Marian Steed collaborated on the adaptation of the choral score; Jim Leake and Jeff Williams contributed significant time to sound production.   The scripture reading came from Jonah 3:1-10, followed by the rest of the song "Jonah and the Whale" as a scripture response. This week's response was lead by Kathy Roberts, Joanna Sherer, and Henry Roberts, who also sang an anthem earlier in the service.   Verse 3 In the cold and briny deep Tears of grief did Jonah weep, And prayed a prayer that God his skin might save; Three long days and three long nights Jonah bargained for his life. God delivered him to shore from a watery grave!   Chorus Over there, In that land both bright and fair, Oh, he'll tell me all about it over there. On the hallelujah strand God will take me by the hand, And he'll tell me all about it over there!   Verse 4 Toward the Ninevites he still felt mean– Didn't want God's grace to intervene– So he preached the shortest sermon ever spoke. But wouldn't you know it, the Word took hold; Like a fire can't be controlled! Away from evil turned the king and all his folk!

Preacher: Conner Faucher Date: 5/19/24 Series: Rediscovering Jonah Key Scriptures: Jonah 3:1–10 (CSB) 1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: 2 “Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach the message that I tell you.” 3 Jonah got up and went to Nineveh according to the Lord's command. Now Nineveh was an extremely great city, a three-day walk. 4 Jonah set out on the first day of his walk in the city and proclaimed, “In forty days Nineveh will be demolished!” 5 Then the people of Nineveh believed God. They proclaimed a fast and dressed in sackcloth—from the greatest of them to the least. 6 When word reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 Then he issued a decree in Nineveh: By order of the king and his nobles: No person or animal, herd or flock, is to taste anything at all. They must not eat or drink water. 8 Furthermore, both people and animals must be covered with sackcloth, and everyone must call out earnestly to God. Each must turn from his evil ways and from his wrongdoing. 9 Who knows? God may turn and relent; he may turn from his burning anger so that we will not perish. 10 God saw their actions—that they had turned from their evil ways—so God relented from the disaster he had threatened them with. And he did not do it.

Preacher: Andy Bauer Date: 5/12/24 Series: Rediscovering Jonah Key Scriptures: Jonah 2 (CSB) 1 Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish: 2 I called to the Lord in my distress, and he answered me. I cried out for help from deep inside Sheol; you heard my voice. 3 When you threw me into the depths, into the heart of the seas, and the current overcame me. All your breakers and your billows swept over me. 4 And I said, “I have been banished from your sight, yet I will look once more toward your holy temple. 5 The water engulfed me up to the neck; the watery depths overcame me; seaweed was wrapped around my head. 6 I sank to the foundations of the mountains, the earth's gates shut behind me forever! Then you raised my life from the Pit, Lord my God! 7 As my life was fading away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, to your holy temple. 8 Those who cherish worthless idols abandon their faithful love, 9 but as for me, I will sacrifice to you with a voice of thanksgiving. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the Lord. 10 Then the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
