New Associate Pastor Keyarae Yi talks about Pslam 121

Have you ever been ready for a fight and been disappointed when the other party relented? Nineveh was a massive city in the Babylonian Empire, renowned for its fishing as well as its brutality. While many city-states had their own Kings, Nineveh was part of an empire that had conquered the Israelites- Jonah’s people. Jonah reveals later that his “obedience” in going was with ill motives, for he wished to see Nineveh be destroyed, not restored.

When life is disrupted how often can we look back and see what we thought was a burden actually have been a blessing? We'll look at the aftermath of Jonah's time with the great fish.

Have you ever felt like you were running from God? What was the cause? That is where we find Jonah. For many generations people have pondered the meaning of the prophet swallowed by the fish. As a prophet, Jonah’s job is to represent God. How's that working out for him? How does it work out for us when we think we can out-run God?

Pastor Dale Lewis shares his thoughts on "The Lord is My Shepherd"

When do I know the spirit has been working?

How do I know that the Holy Spirit is talking to me versus something else?

Who is the Holy Spirit?
