scripture: jonah 1:1-1:17

Like Jonah, we all have been told to do something we did not want to do. How we react determines how we grow as Christians and how we represent Jesus.

We all run from God. There is something inside of each of us that makes us naturally gravitate towards sin. It’s the story of the Bible from page to page, but it’s only half the story. We may run from God, but He will always chase us. That is what we see in Jonah 1 — the man of God attempts to run from God, but God, in His grace will always pursue! However, sometimes His means of pursuit is not always easy. God will use many things in this life to get our attention. In this case, God uses a massive storm, and the storm will not cease until the man of God surrenders completely to God. It’s the same for us. The storm will rage until we fully surrender to the Lord of our souls. Visit us online at: http://www.RenewalChurch.net

Jonah 1 1. Jonah ran from a great need. 2. Jonah ran from a great God.

We compare and contrast these two literal storms form the Bible looking at both Jonah and Jesus. We go over what kinds of storms we face in our own lives, whether literal or spiritual, and how Jesus uses, guides, and keeps us through them.

In this Episode, Pastor Derek Holmes opens a new 4 part series through the book of Jonah. In this series, we will follow the thread of Grace throughout the story of the reluctant prophet, showing us that the true star of the story is not Jonah... It's not even the whale... The true star of the story is God who relentlessly pursues us even when we run. His grace always catches up!

Where in God's Universe can one go?

Sermon Notes: God’s love pursues us when we run. I. Rebels run from God’s presence. (1-3) II. Rebels cannot outrun God's presence when He pursues. (4-7) III. God’s pursuit exposes the foolishness of rebellion. (8-10) IV. God’s pursuit results in His glory. (11-16) V. God’s pursuit brings blessing to the running rebel. (17)

¿Por qué el lenguaje de Oseas es tan estridente? ¿Por qué la urgencia? Porque el Señor ha habilitado a otro de Sus profetas por el cual ha iniciado la destrucción de Israel si el arrepentimiento no llega pronto. El tiempo se está agotando y el partido pagano en Israel está por llegar a un final posiblemente violento. Al mismo tiempo que Oseas estaba tomando a Gomer como esposa, otro profeta también sufría, pero por razones muy diferentes...

Message #2 in our Jonah Series. * We had audio problems and the recording is missing the last 5 minutes of the message.

Why Jonah ran from God is the same reason why we run from God.

Jonah 1

Pastor Vinnie begins Jonah.

The message of Christianity is one of God's love for humanity. Sometimes though, the Christian faith gets painted as if it is for certain types of people who haven't done certain types of things. The story of Jonah emphatically declares that no matter who you are or what you've done, God cares about you. Through a disobedient follower, a group of idolatrous fisherman, and a pagan city, this series of sermons proclaims that everyone can be engulfed by grace.
