Jonah has shipped out in the opposite direction from what God called him to go. God caused a raging storm to batter the boat he was in. The sailors were imploring; but Jonah was snoring. The sailors cast lots and God caused the lot to fall on Jonah. Jonah confessed his sin and faced his consequences. Jonah is thrown overboard by the sailors. Join us as we investigate this fascinating story.

God told Jonah to go east. Jonah went west. Have you been there? Sure you have. Sadly, we often do just the opposite of what God is asking us to do. Jonah decided he was going to run away from God and his responsibilities. Then Jonah discovered something he should have already known... you can run, but you cannot hide. Join me for this fascinating look at Jonah the prodigal prophet.

Jonah is a whale of a book... pun intended! Join me as we dig into this Old Testament book that has captured the minds of young and old. The book of Jonah is I loaded with practical applications to our everyday life. This first episode will whet your appetite for more of the book and it will hit you with two very powerful challenges.

This is the final episode of season 11... The Hall of Faith. We will discover who is referred to as men and women of whom the world is not worthy!

These true stories of men and women who walked by faith have gripped our minds and challenged our hearts. The author of this book reminds us that there are many others who walked by faith that could have been listed in the Hall of Faith.

I am especially encouraged that you and I can walk by faith. We can be victorious. We can leave a legacy of faith to the next generation. The key is not that we be flawless, but that we be faithful! We simply need to take God at His word and act upon it!

Today's episode of Wisdom from Above is very encouraging. This true life story of Jephthah shows us that God has a marvelous plan of using ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things... and all the glory goes to God.

My dear friend, God can use you... if you present your life to Him. God can use you... if you are willing to trust in the Lord and walk by faith. You don't have to be noble by birth, or powerful of body, or elite of class, or brilliant of mind. You just need to be available to God and faithful to obey.

Our world loves mythical stories of superheroes... stories like those of Hercules, Thor, Superman, Batman, and Iron Man.

But many find even more satisfaction in true stories of super heroes... stories of people who gave their own lives in order to save the lives of others... chief among whom would be Jesus.

Today's episode looks at a real life hero who was known for his incredible strength and his amazing exploits. His name was Samson. He was flawed like all of us, but he was also a man of faith. We can learn a lot of practical lessons from Samson. Samson had a shocking start, a sad fall, and a stunning finish.

Barak was victorious, but he was not glorious. Even his greatest victory flew under the radar because the commander of the opposing army was killed not by Barak, but by a woman. That woman, Jael, drove a tent peg through the temple of Commander Sisera, nailing him to the ground. Jael was glorious. They sang of her as most blessed among women. They sang of her victory over Sisera.

But Barak is still listed in the Hall of Faith... and we can learn three powerful truths from his faith

Man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. We put our hope in our wisdom and power and skill, but God wants us to put our hope in Him. This truth is vividly pictured in the story of Gideon. Join me as we go back to this historical event and discover wisdom from above that will transform our lives.

This episode of Wisdom from Above reveals a true life story about a woman who went from the House of Shame to the Hall of Fame.
