We conclude our series on the Book of Jonah today, emphasizing Jonah's struggle with God's compassion and his own misplaced anger, presenting an analogy between Jonah's concern for a plant and God's care for Nineveh. Especially important, there are parallels with Jesus's ministry, highlighting the necessity of genuine repentance for forgiveness, which underscores the challenge that the church faces today in balancing God's acceptance and the need for repentance. God's forgiveness is expansive but not indiscriminate, requiring true remorse, a willingness to change, and a transformative shift in direction towards alignment with God's will. Join us today as we praise God for His Forgiveness! Scriptures Today: Jonah 3:1-10 // Genesis 32:22-32 // Isaiah 46:9-10 // Proverbs 19:21 // Ephesians 5: 15-17 // Psalms 33:10 // Job 12:12 We're so glad you joined us for this powerful message!

We've arrived at Jonah chapter 3 where God again tells Jonah to go and preach to Nineveh. But this time Jonah has a contrite heart, and willingly carries out God's instructions. In so doing his message captures the heart of the king of Nineveh, he repents, and in turn influences the rest of the city to do likewise, and there is a great revival in the city! Like in times of old, God can use us in powerful ways today when we are willing to obey Him!

As we continue this series of messages on Jonah, we turn our attention to the most popular chapter of the book, but unfortunately the most often misquoted. Jonah's attempt to run from God got him tossed overboard by sailors on the boat he was on, who became imperiled because of Jonah's defiance of God. Although Jonah deserved his apparent fate, we see God's mercy as He provided Jonah with a great fish that saved his life. Jonah was thankful, repentant, and obedient, and as a result, God was able to use him in a mighty way, providing a powerful picture of what God is willing to do in your life today!

Ever read the Bible and feel like you don't fit? Like your story doesn't connect with the ancient stories found in the pages of Scripture? As we head into 2024, we want to put ourselves back in touch with the real people of the Bible who faced real situations and real struggles. Jonah is the perfect candidate. This less-than-perfect prophet reveals critical lessons (and mistakes) for following God into a new year. His story is complex like ours (except the whale part!) but God reveals his love for Jonah and the world in an unmistakable way
We begin 2024 with a series of messages from the book of Jonah, most well known for the incredible account of how God used a great fish to get His prophet's attention. God had instructed Jonah to go and preach repentance to the great city of Nineveh, but Jonah rebelled, got on a ship going in the opposite direction, and ran from God with no intention of doing what He asked him to do. Doesn't this sound familiar? The book is by no means allegorical. Jonah was a real person, a prophet no less, who ignored what God had asked of him. Whether in times of old, or in modern times we can all identify and see ourselves in the text for today!

A Deeper Storm Still Scripture: Jonah 3:10–4:11 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor of Oak Pointe Church Throughout human history, millions have taken comfort in the notion of karma. At its simplest, karma says, “Do good, get good. Do bad, get bad.” But how do we make sense of it when an embezzler buys a Ferrari with your hard-earned pension – or a human trafficker lives in the lap of luxury? When good things come to bad people, doesn't it tie your stomach in knots? Over the last three weeks, we've watched a biblical episode of “karma gone wrong” through the eyes of God's prophet, Jonah. Join us tomorrow as we conclude our series with “A Deeper Storm Still,” by taking a hard look at our own opinion of who deserves what.
Turning to God Scripture: Jonah 3:1-10 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor of Oak Pointe Church The nerds. The jocks. The cheerleaders. Perhaps nowhere is the human tendency toward “us vs. them” more obvious than a high school cafeteria. Whether teenagers finding their clique or adults drawing battle lines over political views, theological stances, or football teams, we've all found a reason to think, “They're not one of us.” This Sunday, we'll see how even a prophet of God thought he'd decide who was in and who was out. Join us for our newest message, “Turning to God,” as we test whether there isn't a bit of Jonah in us today.

Journey to the Bottom Scripture: Jonah 1:17–2:10 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor of Oak Pointe Church Who doesn't love an underdog? When someone at rock bottom makes it to the top, we can't help but feel inspired. Whether overcoming poverty, addiction, or physical debilitation, many have said that coming to the end of their rope is the very thing that made them who they are today. At some point in our lives, we all experience our own “Journey to the Bottom.” We can't avoid the storms, so what do we do when we find ourselves sinking? It was in his lowest place that the prophet Jonah found the answer. Join us tomorrow as we continue our series by discovering that answer for ourselves!

Running from God Scripture: Jonah 1:1-16 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor of Oak Pointe Church “Run, Forrest, run!” Since the 1994 debut of Forrest Gump, millions of viewers have watched the famed Forrest literally run from his problems. Whether outpacing childhood bullies, dodging bullets in Vietnam, or nursing a broken heart, time and again the film's protagonist flees the scene. Confronted with a challenge, Forrest did just what he knew to do: run. Can you relate? Join us tomorrow for our latest message, “Running from God,” as we encounter the man who puts even Forrest's flights to shame: the prophet Jonah. Together, we'll discover what Jonah was really running from and what it reveals about our own hearts today.
