But God Part 7 Appointed a Fish

But God Appointed a Fish When Grace Enters the Situation Text: Jonah 1:1–17 (ESV) Some stories of grace begin with suffering. This one begins with rebellion. Jonah did not stumble into disobedience.

Does God Change His Mind?

The question “Does God change His mind?” invites us into the deep waters of God’s nature—His sovereignty, His omniscience, and His tender heart that feels grief, compassion, and joy.

Who Wrote the Book of Jonah Anyway?

The Prophet’s Confession The book of Jonah ends with a question—and so does our journey through its pages. There is no resolution. No dramatic repentance. No neat conclusion.

Jonah 3:1–10 Some of the most powerful sermons in history have been the shortest. In Jonah 3, we encounter one of them—just eight Hebrew words (five in English) that shook an entire empire to its knees. This wasn’t because of Jonah’s eloquence. It was because Jonah finally spoke exactly what God told him to say. […]

You Can’t Run from God

The gospel message of confession, repentance, and submission to God’s authority is not limited to the New Testament.
