At times, throughout Scripture, God asks people questions. This was not because He did not know the answer. Instead the question was designed to bring some revelation to the person He was speaking to.

This message looks at the questions God asked Adam, Moses, Ezekiel, Jonah and the prophets. What questions might God be asking us? Are we ready to face Him who knows which questions to ask?

This is the fourth part of the exposition of the Book of Jonah. Unusually among the Old Testament prophets, this book is more about the man rather than his message.

This teaching looks at chapter 3. The reluctant prophet finally fulfils his mission and preaches at Ninevah. The pagan people of the city, believe Jonah and repent at the message. As a result God spares them from the threatened destruction.

This message explains Jesus’ famous parable of the Good Samaritan. This is a well known story, but there are differing levels of meaning, all of which are not immediately obvious. He told this story after being asked “who is my neighbour”.

Jesus would have shocked his audience by making the hero of the story a despised Samaritan. But why was there such hatred between the Jews and the Samaritans?

Jesus message condemns national, ethnic and religious prejudice. But Jesus story also calls us to reevaluate what we think serving God looks like.
