Jonah

When God Wants Your Attention

Anger Management

June 11, 2023 • Pastor Chad Ott • Ephesians 4:25–32, Jonah 4:1–9

When Nineveh repents, Jonah is angry. Jonah does not want God to show his enemies grace. Is there an enemy for whom you do not want God’s grace? God’s grace not only forgives us, it calls us to forgive others.

Worst Sermon Ever

June 4, 2023 • Pastor Daniel Ondov • Jonah 3

When Jonah finally makes it to Nineveh, he preaches a terrible sermon. There is no promise of grace. There is no reference to Scripture. There is only a declaration of judgment. But through Jonah’s terrible sermon, God works amazing conversion.

How Not to Pray

May 28, 2023 • Pastor Chad Ott • Jonah 2:1–9, 1 John 2:1–2

When Jonah is in the belly of a big fish, he offers a prayer to God. But even though there are flashes of brilliance in his prayer, Jonah does not seem to understand the mission God has given him and how this mission will call upon him to act selflessly. Do you struggle with praying for what is right when you would rather pray for what is selfish?

Day of Reckoning

May 21, 2023 • Pastor Daniel Ondov • Matthew 12:38–41, Jonah 1:5–17, Romans 5:18–21

Jonah may be running from God, but God is also running after him. God sends a storm after him. Though we may not like to think about it, there is a day of reckoning for sin. But though this day of reckoning may seem difficult, it is for our good.

On the Run

May 14, 2023 • Pastor Chad Ott • Jonah 1:1–4

The story of Jonah opens with the prophet running from God because He has called him to preach to a group of people he hates. Everyone has something that unsettles them. What causes you to run?
