Podcasts about jonah week

Ryan sits down with Jeff and Arlen to discuss Jonah 4 and the powerful conclusion of Jonah: Deep & Wide Mercy.Together they explore why the book ends with a question instead of an answer, how Jonah's anger reveals the condition of his heart, and why God's final words are meant to challenge readers as much as they challenged Jonah.The conversation looks at God's compassion for Nineveh, the repeated question “Is it right for you to be angry?”, and the ways prayer, worship, and Scripture help align our hearts with God's.Jonah's story ends without revealing his response, inviting each of us to answer God's question for ourselves.Main Passage: Jonah 4Series: Jonah: Deep & Wide MercyWeek: 4Host: RyanGuests: Jeff and Arlen

Bill sits down with Adam Jackson and Jack Guerra to talk through Jonah 2–3 in week 2 of Jonah: Deep & Wide Mercy.They discuss Jonah's messy path back to obedience, the surprising response of Nineveh, and the strange mercy of God in the fish. What looks like punishment in the Sunday school version may actually be rescue: the sea is the disaster, and the fish is God's saving grace.The conversation also gets into Jonah's second call, his five-word sermon, and the reminder that God can work through our weak and even half-hearted obedience. His mercy is bigger than Jonah's heart, Nineveh's sin, and our first failed attempt to obey.Main Passage: Jonah 2–3Series: Jonah: Deep & Wide MercyWeek: 2Host: Bill Van KirkGuests: Adam Jackson and Jack Guerra

Jonah | Week 4 Neil Rogers Lesson Handout

Ryan Groshek sits down with Jeff Pittman and Adam Jackson to dig deeper into Jonah 1 and the message "You Can Run, but You Can't Hide." Together, they talk about how to read Jonah faithfully, why the story is about much more than a big fish, and how the book reveals God's grace toward people Jonah would rather avoid.The conversation explores Jonah's resistance, the surprising faith of the sailors, God's compassion for enemies, and the way sin can send us running even when we know what God has said. The episode closes with a practical invitation: when you recognize you have been running from God, it is never too late to repent and take the next step of obedience.Main Passage: Jonah 1Series: The Follow Up - JonahWeek: 1

Welcome Home!Today is part two of our series "Judge Jonah," where we talk about how what happened before he got pitched overboard is more interesting than what happened with the fish.Make it a great week!

Welcome Home!This week, we begin a new series called Judge Jonah.You remember Jonah, right? The guy that got swallowed by a whale, or a big fish - something like that. A little Sunday School story with an easy image to reduce one of the prophets to a cartoon. What if there was more to the story? What if the whole big fish thing was the least interesting part of the story of Jonah?Make it a great week!

What if the problem isn't your circumstances but your need for control? As we reach the conclusion of Jonah, we see a God who is beyond our control yet full of mercy. Join us as we wrap up Jonah: A Rescue Story and discover how, even in discomfort and difficulty, God is working for good and calling us to align with His heart. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

God relentlessly pursues us, not to condemn us, but to transform us. Join us as we explore how God's pursuit, compassion, and limitless rescue shape our character and call us to be doers of His Word. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Have you ever said something you regret, avoided what you knew you should do, or made a decision you wish you could take back? Jonah's story shows us what to do when we realize we've made a bad choice: take responsibility, turn back to God, and embrace His grace. If you need a fresh start, join us as we're reminded that God's grace is always greater and a second chance is always possible. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Pressure. Pain. Purpose. What are you running from?Our March series, Jonah: A Rescue Story, begins with a bold look at why we avoid what we're called to, how that avoidance creates storms in our lives, and what happens when we choose courage over compromise. Join us, and discover how to stop running. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jonah obeyed God… and still ended up angry. Why? In this message from Jonah 4, we unpack how emotions, comfort, and misplaced priorities can keep us from fully following Jesus and what it looks like to choose compassion over convenience.

In Jonah 3:1, we read that “the Lord spoke to Jonah a second time”. That one sentence changes everything. This message is about a God who doesn't give up when we run, a grace that meets us after failure, and a mercy that invites us to start again. If you've ever felt like you missed your moment, messed up too badly, or waited too long, this message is for you.

Jonah chapter 2 reminds us that waiting seasons are never wasted seasons. In this message, we explore how God uses uncomfortable, unexpected moments to shape our character, deepen our prayer life, and draw us closer to Him. While Jonah waits in the belly of the fish, we see that God is working not to punish him, but to prepare him. If you're in a season of waiting, this message will remind you that God is still present, still working, and still shaping you, even when nothing seems to be changing.

What do you do when God speaks and you don't like what He says?Jonah hears God clearly and runs the opposite direction. Jonah's story reveals the danger of choosing comfort over calling. Through a storm at sea, God shows that you can run from His call, but you can't outrun His care.

We continue our study of the book of Jonah.

Let's keep talking about the unique story of Jonah!

Jonah 3:10 NIV 10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.Jonah 4:1-11 NIV 1 But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry. 2 He prayed to the Lord, “Isn't this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. 3 Now, Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.” 4 But the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?” 5 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. 6 Then the Lord God provided a leafy plant and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the plant. 7 But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the plant so that it withered. 8 When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah's head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, and said, “It would be better for me to die than to live.” 9 But God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?” “It is,” he said. “And I'm so angry I wish I were dead.” 10 But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. 11 And 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—and also many animals?”1. GOD'S INTERRUPTIONS ARE DIVINE INVITATIONS.Jonah 4:1a NIV 1a But to Jonah this seemed very wrong…2 Kings 14:25 NIV 25 He was the one who restored the boundaries of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the Dead Sea, in accordance with the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, spoken through his servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath Hepher.1. GOD'S INTERRUPTIONS ARE DIVINE INVITATIONS.2. GOD'S GRACE IS FOR EVERYONE.3. GOD'S PROVIDENCE IS NOT BASED ON MY PREFERENCE.Jonah 4:9-11 NIV 9 But God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?” “It is,” he said. “And I'm so angry I wish I were dead.” 10 But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. 11 And 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—and also many animals?”1.

Jonah // Week 2 // A Whale Of A LessonJonah 1:11-12 NASB 11 So they said to him, “What should we do to you that the sea may become calm for us?”—for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy. 12 He said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will become calm for you, for I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you.”Jonah 1:15-16 NASB 15 So they picked up Jonah, threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped its raging. 16 Then the men feared the Lord greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows.Jonah 1:17 NASB 17 And the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights.1. The SWALLOWING was for SALVATION.2. The RESTRICTION was for RESTORATION.Jonah 2:1-9 NASB1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the stomach of the fish, 2 and he said, “I called out of my distress to the Lord,and He answered me. I cried for help from the depth of Sheol;You heard my voice. 3 “For You had cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current engulfed me. All Your breakers and billows passed over me. 4 “So I said, ‘I have been expelled from Your sight. Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.' 5 “Water encompassed me to the point of death. The great deep engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head. 6 “I descended to the roots of the mountains. The earth with its bars was around me forever,but You have brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God. 7 “While I was fainting away,I remembered the Lord,and my prayer came to You, into Your holy temple. 8 “Those who regard vain idols forsake their faithfulness, 9 but I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving.That which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from the Lord.”1. The SWALLOWING was for SALVATION.2. The RESTRICTION was for RESTORATION.3. The PURGING was for PROVISION.Jonah 2:10 NASB10 Then the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.Jonah 3:1-3a NASB 1 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and proclaim to it the proclamation which I am going to tell you.” 3a So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of the Lord...1. The SWALLOWING was for SALVATION.2. The RESTRICTION was for RESTORATION.3. The PURGING was for PROVISION.

Pastor Kirk sets the scene for our conversations around Jonah. What's your "instead"? Let's talk about it.

Title: Wrestling With GraceText: Jonah 4:1–11Big Idea: It's possible to obey God outwardly but still resist Him inwardly. The real fight is often between our heart and His grace.I. Jonah's Outrage at MercyAfter Nineveh repents and God spares them, Jonah is furious.“Isn't this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home?” (v. 2)Jonah obeyed God—but resented Him for being too gracious.He quotes Exodus 34:6 back to God: “gracious and compassionate, slow to anger…” but says it like it's a bad thing.Key tension: Jonah didn't mind grace when it saved him—he hated it when it saved them.II. The Jonah Inside All of UsThis chapter exposes something in all of us:We want justice for others but mercy for ourselves.We're often more concerned with being right than being righteous.God's question in verse 4 hits home:“Is it right for you to be angry?”Jonah never answers. He sits down and watches the city—hoping for judgment.III. The Object Lesson with the PlantGod causes a plant to grow up and shade Jonah (v. 6)Then God appoints a worm to destroy the plant, and Jonah is angry again (v. 7–9)God uses the plant to reveal Jonah's self-centeredness:He's more upset about a plant than about people.More concerned with comfort than with compassion.IV. The Final ConfrontationGod's last question is the heart of the book:“Should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh…?” (v. 11)The book ends without closure—because the real story is your response.The uncomfortable truth: God's grace often offends our sense of fairness.Final Challenge:Where in your life do you want grace for yourself, but judgment for others?Are you angry about God's compassion toward people you don't like?If the book of Jonah is a mirror—what is it reflecting in you?
