There is a necessary dying that must take place before we will ever meet the LORD in the deep. It is a dying to self. It is a dying to our pride and our idolatry. It is a dying to our self-made, self-promoting, self-centered worldview. It is a necessary dying...and that’s exactly where Jonah is right now.Support the showThanks for listening!

If you know yourself to be saved…if you truly believe that you were bound for destruction in a storm of your own making and you were saved when Jesus took the dive on your behalf, then you will exceedingly fear the LORD. Love makes sacrifices. The call to substitutionary love is not optional for Christians; it defines Christians.Support the showThanks for listening! Follow us on

Take a good hard look into your identity. Listen carefully to the words that come out of your mouth. Be open to the possibility that you have an “othering” problem.

Go to your culture my friends . . . wherever the Holy Spirit is calling you, to whomever he is calli

God has sent a great storm upon the sea. Jonah’s disobedience has invoked God’s wrath, and the consequences of Jonah’s choices are bringing great peril to the sailors onboard the ship. We will return to the ship and look closely at the contrast between Jonah in the storm and the Apostle Paul who endured a very similar storm many years later. Support the showThanks for listeni

Sometimes in our life we may be asking God for something and he is continually telling us no...the hurt is still there...the pain is still there...the sickness is still there...the relationship is still broken...the person is still our boss...the coworker is still getting on our nerves...the finances are still not what I expect...But even though we ask...God is still saying no....S

This little story of Jonah is not intended to make us feel great about ourselves. It’s a wakeup call to God’s people. God has His heart set on Nineveh, and He has called us to speak the truth to a lost and perishing world.
