We're diving into the book of Jonah, live from Pond Hill in 2024! There's so much to be found in this book, and our podcast series on Jonah was kindled because of this sermon series that I did in Summer of '24. I learned so much and I hope that these teaching will be as helpful for you as they were for me.

This message was given at Pond Hill on Aug 11th, 2024. In this teaching, we dive into perhaps Jonah's most distinct character trait: his racism. As a response to this, God continually reminds Jonah of the Ninevites personhood. Like Jonah, they too bear God's image and receive His love--even when they are wicked beyond belief. In the face of hatred, Jonah is invited towards something else. Jesus taught about this alot, so we'll bring Him into the conversation as well. Jesus’ Solution for Hatred is Radical Enemy Love!

This message was given at Pond Hill on Aug 4th, 2024. In this teaching, we dive into perhaps Jonah's most distinct character trait: his racism. God is doing something in the book of Jonah, and it draws out a universal theme that many are surprised to find littered throughout the Old Testament. It highlights God's love for the Gentiles. Despite His choosing of the Ancient Israelites, God was always concerned with the rest of the world as well. We learn that God doesn’t need our approval to send His mercy!

This message was given at Pond Hill on July 28th, 2024. In this teaching, we dive into perhaps Jonah's most distinct character trait: his racism. We discuss the root cause of this racism, which we identify as toxic nationalism. In stark contrast to Jonah's hateful pride, we claim that God’s heart is for all people—even those who are different than us!

This message was given at Pond Hill on July 21st, 2024. In this teaching, we discuss what is perhaps the most central verse in Jonah: Jonah 4:2. This verse is actually a quotation of Exodus, from a very famous story of the Israelites in the desert just after their escape from Egyptian slavery. Had Jonah taken this story to heart, his own story would have been radically different.

This message was given at Pond Hill on July 14th, 2024. In this teaching, we dissect Jonah's literary genre and Jonah's view of God that proved to be way to small. How could a prophet flee from God on the very sea which God created? We learn that the Scripture is inviting us to embrace the heart of God rather than run from it!

This message was given at Pond Hill on June 30th, 2024. Part 1 is an overview of the book and some specific teaching on God's sovereignty! We learned that The book of Jonah is not primarily about Jonah. It’s about God’s activity in the world and His radical mercy and love for the people in it!
