Hidden Sins Surface in Storms | Deep Water Week 1 | Jonah Chapter 1
Pastor Bart Blair delves into Jonah chapter 1, presenting it as more than just a "big fish story." He describes the historical context of Nineveh and the Assyrians, emphasizing the danger and violence of the time. The pastor focuses on Jonah's attempt to flee from God's command, resulting in a great storm that endangered the sailors.
Blair draws parallels between Jonah and Jesus, noting the voluntary sacrifice aspect, while also highlighting the differences. He emphasizes that the story is primarily about God's character and power over nature. The sermon explores themes of disobedience, the ripple effects of sin, and the necessity of surrender to God's will.
The pastor concludes with three main points: 1) A wide open door is not always from God, 2) Our disobedience affects everyone in the boat, and 3) Surrender always comes before salvation. He encourages the congregation to reflect on these lessons and apply them to their own lives and decision-making processes.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
