Jonah and the Withered Tree

In this Bible Story, we meet the prophet Jonah, who refuses to obey God’s calling because of his prejudice against Nineveh. However, God uses Jonah’s life as a lesson. A lesson in caring about the lost. A lesson about humility and responding to the voice of God. A lesson on what truly matters. This story is inspired by Jonah 3-4.

Episode 144: Returning to the Kings of Judah we find the story of Amaziah, the son of Joash. His father was assassinated by his servants yet Amaziah did not hold their children responsible for his father's death, only them. One day in preparation for a battle with Sier, Amaziah hired one hundred thousand soldiers from Israel to fight with him. But a man of God came to Amaziah telling him to send the men home. However, those men of Israel were wicked and burned the cities of Judah in repayment for being sent home. Amaziah forsook God because of this and would hear no more words from God.
