Jonah, chapter 3. For the most part, Jonah is a story of failure. But in chapter three things improve. Jonah preaches to Nineveh—the capital of the Assyrian empire, which at the time was the world’s largest—and they repent.

Joy, part 12. The Christian life is like stepping into a boxing ring: be alert, be on your guard, don’t underestimate your opponent. Graham discusses ten tactics the enemy uses to rob us of joy.

Lesson 3 from the School of Wisdom, part of our four week family series 'The Good Life'. We take a look at Proverbs 15:1 — 'A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger'.
