A Noble Task
In the midst of Paul’s instructions about how we should interact within the church, he gives the description of what elders should be. It comes as no surprise that shepherds should model themselves after the Good Shepherd.

The Agony of Victory
After preaching to the people of Nineveh, Jonah gets the response any preacher would want: the people acknowledge their sin and repent. Jonah is not happy about their change or God’s mercy. While Jonah shows anger, God shows compassion.
Prayer and Peace
Throughout scripture God brings order out of chaos. In 1 Timothy 2, Paul writes to Timothy about order in the church, the prayer that should surround it and the peace that can come as a result.
Back to Work
Jonah finds himself back on dry land as chapter 3 begins, and God presents him with a familiar task: go to Nineveh. Once again, those who do not follow God respond to His power and message. God desires that people be saved.
Why?
From the time we are children, one of the questions we ask most frequently is, “Why?” In the second half of 1 Timothy 1, Paul explains the answer to that question for himself, Timothy and Jesus. What is your why?
Love and Law
This week we begin a new series about the pastoral epistles. The old law served a purpose for the people of God, but what does it mean for followers of Christ who have been freed from sin?
Calling Out
After finding himself in the belly of a great fish, Jonah turns to prayer. The one who ran from God is forced to remember that God is still in control.
Devoted to Prayer
However life is going for the church in the first 12 chapters of Acts, there is one constant: prayer. The 1st century church prayed consistently, and they saw those prayers answered. We need to follow that example and know that God hears us too.

Running Away
In the Bible when God gives instructions to go, often the next verse will begin, “And ________ went.” That was not the case with Jonah. He took a ship headed far away. Everyone on that ship learns that God is still there.
