Jonah
A Sinking Feeling
November 21, 2021 • Alec Amosson • Jonah 1:15–17, Jonah 2, Matthew 14:22–33
In week 3 of our series on Jonah, Alec Amosson looks at two stories of people sinking in the midst of the sea and God's provision by saving them. We are one way, and then God provides saving, now we're a new way and we're called to respond with thanksgiving. How are you giving thanks to God for the way he's shown up in your life?
When We Don't Get Our Way
November 14, 2021 • Rev. Tom Shinkle • Matthew 16:1–6, Jonah 4
Continuing to look at the book of Jonah, Rev. Tom talks about how Jonah reacted to God when he didn't get his way. Then, make it personal, what happens we don't get our way? How do you act when things don't go as you'd planned or wished? Do you throw a fit, do you have a 'come-apart,' do you withhold attention? Even in the midst of your reaction - there's good news that God still offers Grace and Mercy.
Out of Communion? Go to Nineveh
November 7, 2021 • Rev. Tom Shinkle • Matthew 12:38–41, Jonah 1:1–6
On this communion Sunday, Rev. Tom Shinkle looks at the story of Jonah and God's desire and call to be in communion with God's people. But, as the story unfolds, we see that Jonah turns away from God and God's call and heads in his own direction. In this first week of Grand View's series on Jonah, the question is - where is God calling you to go that you may be avoiding or afraid of right now?
