Jonah 3:1-10 Altitudes did not follow or lead the actions of Jonah. When God gives a second chance, He is being gracious. 1. The Second Calling of Jonah, vs 1-4. v. 1-2 — We have no indication in the scriptures of when this second commission was given by the LORD. God in his sovereignty could have chosen…

THE SETUP FOR CHAPTER 3 We continue our journey through the upside down story of Jonah. A story where people who aren’t followers of Yahweh call out to Him and offer sacrifices to Him and Jonah, a prophet of Yahweh, who runs from Him. A story where God speaks to a fish.

Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey in…

God has blessed us in so many ways and it is important to learn to be thankful for His faithfulness to us in the past as we also look to his continued faithfulness in the future.

As we begin our study through the OT books of the Major and Minor prophets it is important to note that we have already looked at a few prophets when we studied through the historical books of 1&2 Samuel as well as 1&2 Kings, such as Elijah and Elisha.

There has been a growing trend in the last decade or so to make movies and T.V. shows centered around the villains of classic stories. It began for me when Disney made a movie about Maleficent, the villain of Sleeping Beauty. As time went on, I noticed a shift where kids were more interested in dressing…

People can change On our last Sabbath with Jonah we had left him right after the city of Nineveh repented and God relented. God used his brief message, (5 Hebrew words) to penetrate the hearts of the people of Nineveh. The people spread the message like wild fire. When the word reached the king, he didn’t…

Last week we saw a repentant and thankful Jonah calling out to God in the belly of a fish. He would have rather died than go preach to the Ninevites, sworn enemies of Israel. Not long before this story, Israel won a great battle against the Assyrian armies. Their borders were expanded and much prosperity…

Notes for sermon: 1. Jonah’s Accusation vs. God, vs. 1-3 But - points back to Jonah 3:10 — a contrast. Unfortunate chapter break in that verse 1 continues the action of Chapter 3. “greatly displeased” - Jonah viewed these preceding events as being gravely unjust, even evil in his perception of what has…

Introduction: Israel constantly rebelled against God. Time and time again, a prophet would be sent and the people wouldn’t listen. It would take an enemy warring against them for them to wake up and repent. This consistent theme throughout the Old Testament makes this account that much more intriguing.…

Jonah 4 concludes one of the shortest books of the Bible. In the course of 4 chapters, we are challenged with God's incredible power and rule; hurling a storm onto the sea, appointing a fish, a plant, and a worm to teach a rebellious prophet. Yet, we also see God patient, merciful, and compassionate upon undeserving prophet and an underserving violent and wicked city. We are struck with amazement that God would so slow to anger and so quick to extend mercy. The prophet Jonah teaches us how bitterness and anger can cause us to flee the presence of God and hate the works of God. May we instead, have enough faith to trust God to apply mercy in Holy and just ways. The book of Jonah provides an important lesson for how God's people should resist anger and instead extend Christ-like compassion.

Introduction: A sermon based on sight and light is rather ironic for me at this present time with my eye condition! But this is where we are as we traverse the pages of Luke’s great Gospel. Today we will be discussing the light of Jesus Christ and the rejection that came from the crowds. And as we go…
