Jonah: Typical Israelite

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

To this borderline-suicidal narcissist, his universe held only himself, permitting God's will for others only if it conformed to his own will.


Nahum

Sermonette by Ronny H. Graham

Nahum, whose name means 'comfort,' assures the captives that God would again comfort those who had suffered under the fist of the Assyrians.


Surrender

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

The story of Jonah is about a prophet who is nominally obedient and grudgingly complies with God's instructions but never truly surrenders to His will.


Meet the Minor Prophets (Part One)

'Prophecy Watch' by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The twelve small books are often overlooked, but the Minor Prophets contain vital messages for today's Christians facing the time of the end.


Meet the Minor Prophets (Part Two)

'Prophecy Watch' by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The twelve books of the Minor Prophets—including Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, and Micah—are often overlooked in favor of the Major Prophets and the four gospels.


Meet the Minor Prophets (Part Three)

'Prophecy Watch' by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

As witnesses to the decline and fall of Israel and Judah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Haggai report the conditions that led to their defeat and captivity.


The Great Flood (Part Seven)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The passage, 'God repented,' suggests that God sometimes changes, which presents us a problem when we need to have faith in His changelessness.


Jonah: A Worldview Correction

Sermonette by James Beaubelle

Jonah's worldview did not align with God's overview, believing that Israel's welfare was paramount to any Gentile nation, but especially Nineveh.


The Rest of the Sign of Jonah

Sermonette by David C. Grabbe

Jonah likely drowned; the great fish was his coffin rather than his prison. While Nineveh repented and was spared, Judah did not repent when Christ preached.


Having a Right Attitude

Article by John O. Reid

Not only must Christians follow true doctrines, but they must also live God's way in the proper attitude. Here are lessons from Jonah's and Moses' examples.


The Fruit of the Spirit: Patience

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh

Biblically, patience is far more than simple endurance or longsuffering. The patience that God has shown man gives us an example of what true, godly patience is.


All Flesh Shall See the Salvation of God

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Moral failure compounds when self-loathing sabotages happiness. Only atonement can turn this depression around, providing the comfort of mental and spiritual health.


Forgiveness and Hope

CGG Weekly by John Reiss

Forgiveness concerns each of us, and without God's forbearance, we would have absolutely no hope for anything beyond this brief, physical life.


Resistance (Part One)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The antidote to spiritual resistance is certainty and confidence in Christ to conform us into His image—a directed movement toward Christ.
