Scripture Reading: Jonah
SCRIPTURE READING: Jonah 3:1-5, 10; 1 Corinthians 7:29-31; Mark 1:14-20. Every blacksmith knows the wisdom in the saying, “Strike while the iron is hot.” There are moments when decisive actions must be taken. Some people have missed golden opportunities in life because they allowed their time of glory to slip through their fingers. To do what is right at the right time and in the right place is the secret to prosperity. Those who have learned to listen to the Word of God know when to move and when to stand still. In our Second Reading, Paul writes to the...Article Link

Jonah reaches Nineveh and is convincing. Even the animals fast and are put in sackcloth and ashes.Scripture Reading: Jonah 3

Scripture Reading: Jonah 3 Jonah 3 contains the account of Jonah's preaching to the people of Nineveh and their repentance and the stay of God's judgment. There are multiple lessons on display in this chapter. One lesson is the obedience of Jonah to do a very difficult thing … namely, to go to the capital city of a hostile enemy (both Israel's enemy and God's enemy) and declare a coming destruction for their wickedness. A second lesson is the nature of repentance. The people of Nineveh, from the king to common laborer, repented. This repentance included an emotional response, seen in fasting from food and even water (Jon 3:5,8). It also included a volitional response, seen in a radical change in behavior (Jon 3:8,10). True repentance involves a heartfelt recoiling from sin and a genuine (though not perfect) change in behavior. As it is true in all the Bible, this story reveals the character of God, above all. Specifically, God's mercy is on full display, both with regard to Jonah and with regard to the ancient people of Nineveh. God could have justifiably taken Jonah's life for his deliberate rebellion. Instead, He restored Jonah to his role as a prophet (Jon 3:1). God's withholding of destruction on a very populous Nineveh is a sterling tribute to divine mercy. Even sending Jonah to Nineveh was an act of grace. "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (Jam 4:6). There is the repentance that leads to conversion, but there is an ongoing repentance that Christians should practice. Let us live, daily, in the spirit of repentance, always rejoicing in God's mercy in Christ.

In this Lenten series, we will consider the various major themes and imagery used by the minor prophets who prophesy to God's people in Israel and Judah. These prophets sought to make known the reasons for and our experiences of that coming day (Note: We will not engage Obadiah or Nahum, as each is a prophecy against other nations). Lent, a season of contemplation on sin and forgiveness, leads us to long for the work Jesus accomplished––a work we celebrate on Good Friday and Easter. This series will show how the suffering and injustice in us and around us ought to cause us to long for Jesus, the Lord of that coming day. We take a look at the most famous minor prophet, Jonah. Through his story, we learn of two ways to rebel against God: Disobedience & Obedience.For more information on our next series, please go to https://www.reh.nyc/currentseries.Scripture Reading: Jonah 3:2-5, 10, 4:1-4Can't join us but still need to send in your tithe?

Though a "servant of the Lord", Jonah seems to live in service to his emotions. What we learn with this weeks message is that redemption and renewal are not spiritual ideas, but realities to be applied to every aspect of our lives, as well as, our past, present, and future. (Scripture Reading Jonah 4:5-11)
Through Jonah's ministry to Nineveh, God continues to minister to, and sanctify, Jonah. This week Jonah went to preach to Nineveh but it was Nineveh that ended up “preaching” to Jonah, and he couldn't stand it! A major take away from this chapter is that while it's possible to understand God's grace in your head and in your heart, we can still cling to hopes for vengeance and exile of our enemies. (Scripture Reading: Jonah 4:1-11)

The Book of Jonah is a story about one man's miraculous journey of self-discovery. But as we see Jonah's journey is a painful one, because he doesn't like what he finds. However, today everything changes. Jonah comes to the end of himself, and through prayer finds grace and hope in God. (Scripture Reading: Jonah 1:17-2:10)
Jonah had experienced friendship with God in ways few others have, and yet now, we see that he'd rather be hurled into the sea, than simply re-engage God in order to quiet the storm. Since our relationship with God is not unlike Jonah's we can learn a lot through this passage. (Scripture Reading Jonah 1:1-16)
Everyone from Tim Keller to Ta-Nahesi Coates has written a commentary on the Book of Jonah, and it's not because they're flummoxed by the idea of “ great fish”, but because some of the very same sociological issues that we deal with today, Jonah dealt with, too. Today, we learn that whenever God does something new it's always because he's up to something good. (Scripture Reading: Jonah 1: 1-3)
SCRIPTURE READING: Jonah 4:1-11; Luke 11:1-4 A child's experience of a significant authority figure often shapes his/her image of God. The authority figure could be a parent, guardian, teacher, priest, etc. For example, kids who get punished by their fathers for every mistake they make, even if they plead for pardon, often grow up transposing the image of an unmerciful father unto God. It is often difficult for such persons to accept the truth that God forgives, and he forgives completely. Many of us will need to renounce the image of a vengeful God and come to a new understanding...Article Link
