Scandalous grace! God's compassion and care for not only 'good' people, but really not good people is astounding, and can even offend our sensibilities. Jonah is furious that God would act this way toward 'those people!' The surgery God does on his heart begins with a simple question: "Is it right for you to be angry?" God leads Jonah - and us along with him - into a discovery of His heart for both the people of Ninevah and the people wherever He sends us. Jonah leaves us asking another question: "How will we respond to the scandalous grace of God?" His grace will challenge us, even allowing us to feel discomfort and loss when necessary, and will be with us every step of the journey.

In this message, our Lead Pastor, Tim Wolf, looks at chapter 1 of the book of Jonah. The post Jonah – Part 1 appeared first on United Church.

Pastor Scotty continues this series with a message about the God of Second Chances.

Jonah has already run away from God's purpose once, but that isn't the end of his story or of God's calling on his life. Like Jonah, we may not always like the places and people to which God commissions us to go, but Jesus' Great Commission to go to all peoples and nations - even the 'Ninevahs' of our time - is in full effect. Despite Jonah's reluctance, the people of Nineveh listen to God and repent, humbling themselves before Him, wearing sackcloth as an outward sign of their repentance. Jesus, our Greater Jonah, humbled Himself even to a death on a cross, and because of His sacrifice we can now be clothed in the new garments He provides, garments of praise, of salvation, and of righteousness. He knows just how to 'overthrow' our hearts, to lead us through humble repentance His new life.

Just when things couldn't get any worse, God had a surprise in store for Jonah, and he was swallowed - yes, swallowed - by a huge fish! What probably seemed like the end for Jonah was actually God's plan of rescue, and from the belly of the fish Jonah prayed. During his three days and three nights in the darkness and the juices of a fish's stomach, God was doing a work in his heart, and Jonah's prayer can point us to the Lord too, even - and maybe especially - in times of deepest distress.

Pastor Scotty begins a new series on the book of Jonah with a message about running from God and his calling on your life.

The sailors had tried everything to avoid throwing Jonah overboard, but all their collective efforts were not enough to save themselves or the ship. They prayed to Jonah's God and then they listened to Jonah's instruction, throwing him into the raging sea. Jesus, our Greater Jonah, has also been cast into the grave on our behalf, and through faith in Him we'll discover the power and provision of God. Like the sailors in Jonah's story, we'll discover the rescue of the gospel, and this saving faith becomes a shaping faith, transforming our decisions and inspiring grateful sacrifice.

The ship Jonah used in order to run from God's presence ran him straight into a storm, and no matter how hard the sailors tried to row they couldn't break free from it. When we find ourselves in a serious 'headwind' that threatens to sink our ship, it's important to remember that not every storm is because of sin! It's also important to remember that every sin does lead to stormy weather. If we've found ourselves in one of those storms, repentance is always the best course correction we can make. It's the perfect time to heed the voice of God, turning to the One who can wake us up, soften our hearts, and free us from condemnation.

God isn't afraid to ask us to do something we really don't want to do or that doesn't feel at all natural to us. This was certainly the case when He asked Jonah to go to "them," the people of the wicked city of Nineveh. Jonah's response? He's so offended that he runs away, not only from God's call but also from His presence. So, Jonah finds a ship going as far from God's instruction as possible. There will always be a "ship" - a hobby, a business venture, even a new church! - ready to take us away from God's purpose, and it's relatively easy for us to find ways to 'run away' from God if we really want to. But God's loving purpose for "them" and for us is not just going to go away. His grace is too good for that! Today is a good day to evaluate if we've been trying to shut out God's voice by running, by staying busy, or by 'doing church' from a safe distance.

The ending of Jonah is very abrupt. It teaches us something about ourselves. Pastor Clinton from St. Andrew is here to explain.

Did Jonah really get swallowed by a fish and stay alive for 3 days? Pastor Clinton Kreuziger from St. Andrew answers that question and helps us understand the whole story.

Jonah’s anger after God forgave Nineveh highlights Jonah’s selfishness and failure to understand God’s ways. How would you and I have reacted if we were in his sandals?

Jonah miraculously arrives alive in the wicked city of Nineveh, preaching God’s judgment. Will they repent, or will they perish?

Cale looks at how Jonah’s psalm-prayer from the belly of the whale is really a death liturgy. Plus: Jesus and the “sign of Jonah”.

Jonah & the whale? Iconic. But what is the rest of the Book of Jonah all about? Continue your Lenten journey with Jonah today!

Jonah ran from God. And then he experienced three days and nights of death-like stasis in a great fish. Now he is out and commanded by God to go to one of Israel's greatest enemies, the Assyrian Empire. Chapters 3 and 4 reveal the heart of Jonah and the heart of God. Once again, we hold this book up like a mirror and ask how we might be like Jonah. Do we care more for material goods than souls? God's rhetorical question, "Should I not pity?" may sting us as much as it did Jonah. Links: (1) Help make PSB better: become a Patron at www.patreon.com/PureandSimpleBible.
