In our study of Jonah, we fix this week on 3:6-4:3 where we see ourselves in Jonah who wants to die because God so loved the world. Jesus is the true and better Jonah- Jesus also wants to die because God so loved the world. We can evaluate ourselves and say- which of the paths have I walked down. Am I walking in the steps of Jonah or of Jesus?

Continuing in our study of Jonah, Pastor Matt leads us through the first part of chapter 3. We're encouraged to be a follower of Christ in the example of the non-Jew Cananite woman in Matthew 15, not a fan of God like the example of Jonah.

Did you leave last week's sermon that involved talking about Sheol & have more questions? Listen to Pastor Matt as he answers questions he has been asked this week. We pray your questions are answered after listening to this follow up discssion.

Last week we said Jesus calmed the seas of judgement by jumping in the sea, this week in Jonah chapter 2, we look at Jesus' descent into death. Scriptures referenced in this sermon: Jonah 2, Revelation 20, Matthew 12:40, Luke 16:19-31, Ephesians 4:8-10, Phillipians 2:8-11, and Revelation 21:1-4.

This week, Pastor Matt leads us through looking at chapter 1 of Jonah again, but focusing on the atonement of Jesus through the judgement waters paralleled in Jonah.

This week, continuing through the book of Jonah, Pastor Matt gives a part 1 breakdown of some of what is happening through the first chapter of Jonah. We focus this week on Jonah clinging to the ship that is destined to crumble amidst the storm. The text "arise, oh sleeper" should speak to us, reminding us to let go of what is not good, and to walk in the newness of life granted by Jesus Christ.

We begin our new series in the book of Jonah, where we immediately see God testing the faith of a prophet in love with Israel over Himself. Over the course of this study, we will see time and time again that Jesus is the better Jonah and that Jesus is the better Israel.

In this final week of studying 1 Thessalonians, Pastor Matt emphasises through Paul's closing words how we are to be as Christians, praying for one another and breaking social barriers to support each other as family in Christ.

Today's episode is to further expound on today's sermon as we finish up Thessalonians. We pray this extra resource clarifies questions you may have about the text while building and encouraging your faith.

Continuing in 1 Thessalonians, we are reminded this week that our God is a God who speaks. We're reminded not to quench the Spirit's work in our lives and His voice of prompting in us. See the September 3 Sermon Follow-Up Podcast for more conversation about New Testament Prophecy from Pastor Matt.
