This week in our "Journey Through Scripture" series, Pastor Jim Ellis takes us through the book of Jonah. We'll explore how Jonah's story often mirrors our own tendency to run away from God. We will be challenged to embrace a radical calling: to love our enemies, a stark contrast to Jonah's reluctant obedience when God sent him to Nineveh. Discover what this ancient prophet's journey can teach us about our own hearts and God's boundless grace. #Bismarck #church #BismarckCommunityChurch #BCC #Gospel #JourneyThroughScripture #ReadBible #unity #BibleStudy #ChristianLiving #Sermon #JimEllis #Jonah #ReluctantProphet #Ninevah #WeAreJonah #RunningFromGod #LoveYourEnemies #GodsGraceSupport the showFind out more about us at BismarckCC.org.

WELCOME TO THE CITADEL CHURCH ONLINE!We are so excited to connect with you this week! We pray you are blessed and that you find a place to belong here in our community.This week, we close out our Jonah series with one of the Bible's most surprising classrooms: a sulking prophet, a leafy plant, a hungry worm, and the blazing Middle Eastern sun.In Jonah 4:5-11, God confronts Jonah's anger, prejudice, and misplaced compassion and teaches a lesson that still echoes into our own hearts today.Why did Jonah want grace for himself but wrath for Nineveh?How do our prejudices reveal where our hearts need the Gospel?What does it mean that Jesus “went outside the city” - not to condemn but to save?Jonah wanted to watch Nineveh burn. Jesus came to save it.Join us as we explore how God's relentless compassion confronts our comfort, breaks our bitterness, and calls us to love those we'd least expect.“The book of Jonah ends with a question mark—because God is asking us: Will you love people who are different from you?”Listen now and discover why We Are Jonah.Each week, we gather to worship Jesus, open Scripture, and lean into what God is saying to us as a church. Whether you're part of the Citadel family or just checking things out, we're so glad you're here. These messages are designed to help you follow Jesus in everyday life and be part of something bigger—His Kingdom.FIND OUT MORE ABOUT US:Website: ⁠⁠⁠www.citadelnyc.church⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠citadelnyc_church⁠

We Are Jonah by Grace Valley Church

Continuing in his "We Are Jonah" series, Pastor Timothy Howard this week focuses in on the "bad news" message that is required in order for us to have the good news, the Gospel, of God's salvation. For us to understand the enormity of our salvation, we must first understand the depths of our depravity! There can only be good news if there is bad news first, and praise God that we have the best news ever told! (Jan. 28, 2018)

Jonah was a prophet of God, responsible for bringing God's message to the people. The word of the Lord comes to Jonah in the first verse of the book, BUT Jonah isn't too thrilled with the message God wants him to deliver to Israel's enemies in Nineveh. Bring a message of redemption to his enemies? No Way--Jonah decides to run away from God AND His message. We might be tempted to laugh at Jonah's silliness--trying to outrun God--until we realize that "We Are Jonah".  Who is your "Nineveh"? Are you willing to bring them the message a love, instead of continuing in your hate?

At The Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Pastor Mark Driscoll recently taught a four week series through the Book of Jonah entitled, A Fishy Tale about a Faithful God. Everyone struggles with idols – those objects of our attention that threaten to steal our hearts away from Christ. So in the midst of so much consumerism in our world today, how do you have the right perspective on the things you love? Pastor Mark takes you back to the book of Jonah in We Are Jonah – and shows you why idols will never make you happy, and how to keep Jesus in the right place in your life.

WE ARE JONAH, Part 5: Having God’s Heart For Mankind. The story of Jonah closes with Jonah being obedient to God’s call and the city of Nineveh repenting, however Jonah’s heart had never truly changed. God desires for His people to care about mankind just as He cares about them.

WE ARE JONAH, Part 4: God’s Plan – Sharing God’s Message Jonah 3:1-10 Richy Fischer Most Christians know the story of Jonah but most of the time, our main focus is the whale. However, this book has a great message for all believers, “that God wants us to have His heart for those far away from Him and be obedient to His call to go.” through his series, we will discover that We Are Jonah. God’s Plan – Sharing God’s Message: God’s “Plan A” from the very beginning of time was to have His people share his message of love and grace to the world. We all have a story to tell, that when told God can use to bring people to repentance.
