Prophet Series Episode 7 Jonah

Theme: God’s compassionfor all people, even our enemies.

Key Verse: Jonah 4:2 – “Iknew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and aboundingin love, a God who relents from sending calamity.

Welcome back to TheProphet Series! In our last episode, we explored Amos’s powerful call forjustice and righteousness. Today, we turn to the story of Jonah, a uniqueprophet for his reluctance to follow God’s call.

Jonah’s story isn’t justabout a prophet running away; it’s about God’s compassion—a love that extendsto everyone, even those we might consider undeserving. Jonah struggled toaccept this, just as we sometimes struggle to show others grace and forgiveness.

As we explore Jonah’sjourney, we’ll discover lessons about obedience, humility, and God’s boundlessmercy. Let’s dive in.

Jonah’s story begins witha clear command from God:

“Go to the great city ofNineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.” –Jonah 1:2

Nineveh was the capital ofAssyria, a powerful and brutal empire known for its violence and oppression.Jonah didn’t want to go—not because he was afraid, but because he didn’t wantGod to show mercy to the Ninevites.

Instead of obeying, Jonahboarded a ship to Tarshish, fleeing in the opposite direction. But God pursuedhim. A great storm arose, and Jonah, knowing he was the cause, told the sailorsto throw him overboard to save themselves.

Jonah was swallowed by agreat fish and spent three days and three nights there. In the belly of thefish, Jonah prayed, acknowledging God’s mercy and committing to obey Him. Thefish then vomited Jonah onto dry land, and he finally went to Nineveh to deliverGod’s message.

Episode 10 The Miraculous Catch of Fish

Episode 10 The Miraculous Catch of Fish

"Welcome to '2 Minutes with the Lord.' I'm your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today, we're setting sail into one of the most unexpected miracles in the Gospels—The Miraculous Catch of Fish. But this isn't just a fish story. Let's dive in and find out."   "In the Gospel of Luke 5:1-11, Peter and his fellow fishermen are exhausted. They've been out all night, casting their nets repeatedly, and they've caught nothing. Not a single fish. The sun is starting to rise, and with that sinking feeling of defeat comes. They're pulling the nets back in, tired and discouraged. The night is over, and it's time to head back to shore—empty."   "As they're cleaning their nets, Jesus appears. He steps into Peter's boat and asks him to push it out a little from shore so that He can teach the gathered crowd. Peter, still tired, agrees. He pushes out into the water and listens to Jesus speak, probably wondering how much longer this will take before he can go home and rest."

Episode 09 The Healing of the Woman with the Issue with Blood

Welcome back to ‘2 Minutes with the Lord.’ I’m your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today, we’re witnessing one of the most powerful and emotionally charged stories in the Gospels—Jesus’ healing of the woman with the issue of blood, found in Mark 5:25-34. But this isn’t just a story about healing. It’s a story about what happens when someone living in the shadows of life decides to step out into the light and reclaim her dignity, identity, and worth.” “Let’s set the scene: A large crowd surrounds Jesus. People from all over have come to see, hear, and touch Him. Amid this bustling crowd, there’s a woman. For twelve long years, she has been suffering from a condition that not only made her physically weak but also socially outcast. In the eyes of the community, she was unclean and untouchable. She had spent everything she had on doctors who couldn’t heal her. She had tried everything. And now, she was invisible to the world but desperate for something different.

Episode 08 Healing of Ten Lepers

Welcome back to '2 Minutes with the Lord.' I'm your host, Fr. Veigas Dominic SVD, and today, we're stepping into the world of one of Jesus' most profound miracles—the healing of the ten lepers. But we won't look at this as just another story about healing. This story is about what it means to be restored—not just physically, but in terms of belonging, identity, and community. It's a story about how we treat those on the margins and how radical inclusion can bring true transformation."   Imagine you're walking through a city, and as you pass by an alleyway, you notice a group of people huddled together. They're homeless. Forgotten by society, living on the fringes, unseen by the thousands of people passing them by daily. Some are struggling with addiction, some with mental illness. Each of them has their own story, but they all share one thing in common: isolation. In this busy, bustling world, they've become invisible."

“Welcome back to ‘2 Minutes with the Lord.’ I’m Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today, we’re diving into something deeper than a story—something that touches the essence of faith, fear, and the unknown.

Episode 04 Feeding the Five Thousand

“Welcome back to ‘2 Minutes with the Lord.’ I’m Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today, we’re diving into one of the most iconic miracles of Jesus—feeding the five thousand. But instead of retelling it exactly as it happened 2,000 years ago, let’s place it into today’s context, a scenario many of us can relate to: the startup world. Like the boy with five loaves and two fish, modern entrepreneurs often feel they don’t have enough resources to succeed. Yet, this story teaches us that with Jesus, even the little we have can become more than enough.”
