Jonah: The Reluctant Prophet
No matter the season in which you find yourself, whether you feel distant from God or close, listen in to the first message of Chuck's nine-part series on Jonah and get a fresh insight into God's Word.
What comes to mind when you think of the story of Jonah?
Most imagine a big whale swallowing a wayward prophet, but there’s so much more. Jonah single-handedly ignited the greatest revival in history with what may be the shortest sermon in history…and then he pouted about it!
Hatred had blurred Jonah’s vision of his enemies so that he couldn’t see them as God saw them. He knew God’s words, but he didn’t know God’s heart.
In this nine-part series, Chuck Swindoll will shine a light on Jonah’s prejudices, teaching life-changing lessons about God’s compassion for all people. From Jonah, we learn that to see the world as God sees it, we need more than good eyesight. We need divine heart-sight.
No matter the season in which you find yourself, whether you feel distant from God or close, listen in to the first message of Chuck's nine-part series on Jonah and get a fresh insight into God's Word.
From Jonah 1:1-12, Chuck Swindoll teaches us about the God who pursues. Learn how the grace of God shines through even in the rebellious turn of a racist prophet.
Join Chuck Swindoll in this study of Jonah 1:9-17 as he teaches us how to walk through the storms of life. While God likely won't offer you relief in the belly of a fish, it's still wise to be ready for a divine surprise.
Before the fish swallowed Jonah, he thought he was a goner. But the prophet came to his senses. From that dark, slimy chapel, Jonah uttered the prayer we read in chapter 2—the text of this sermon.
In his study of Jonah 3:1-4, Chuck Swindoll teaches us about the riches of God's grace and abundance of mercy from that quaint phrase, “the Lord came to Jonah a second time.”
