Have You Any Right To Be Angry

Jonah 4:1-11

Key Verse 4:11

“But the Lord said, ‘You have been concerned about this vine, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. But Nineveh has more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left, and many cattle as well. Should I not be concerned about that great city?’”

Here’s all that we have thought about so far in the story of Jonah: God calls Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh and deliver to its people a message of judgment and destruction. But instead of obeying God, Jonah runs away from the Lord and takes a ship going in the opposite direction. Then God … Read the rest

Jonah Obeyed The Word Of The Lord

Jonah 3:1-10

Key Verse 3:5

“The Ninevites believed God. They declared a fast, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.”

The first time around, when God commanded Jonah to deliver a message of God’s judgment on the city and people of Nineveh, Jonah bought a ticket on a ship sailing the opposite direction. But God wouldn’t let him get away. A storm nearly ripped the ship apart, until the sailors figured out that the fault was with Jonah. When they threw him overboard, God provided a large fish that swallowed Jonah. From inside the fish, Jonah prayed a prayer of repentance, and God spared his life. The fish vomited him out on dry land. That’s what the last … Read the rest

In My Distress I Called To The Lord

Jonah 2:1-10

Key Verse 2:9

“But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. Salvation comes from the Lord.”     

The last verse of chapter 1 tells us what happened to Jonah after the crew of the ship picked him up and threw off board. Jonah 1:17 says: “But the Lord provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights.” The very next verse in chapter 2:1 says: “From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God.” Let me tell you a few things before we get into that prayer of his.

There are a lot of things that we do not know because they are … Read the rest

What Have You Done?

Jonah 1:1-17

Key Verse 1:16

“At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him.”

This is a short book, four chapters in all that probably contain more wisdom and insight than we can possibly hope to learn in the lessons we will cover. Clearly the book of Jonah is more than a story about the man who survived in the belly of a fish for three days and three nights. Like every other book of the Bible, it carries a message from God for his chosen people. And the message almost always has something to do with God’s comprehensive plan for world salvation. And God’s message almost always seems to relate to his chosen people the urgency in … Read the rest
