    No more explanations, no more excuses - like the Ninevites, stop, turn around, go the other way.

    Repentance: Does our generation understand what it means? We have been following the prophet Jonah for the past few weeks and we have seen that for many of us, when we read through the book of Jonah we place assumptions on the text, that aren’t really there. For example, a quick reading of chapter ...read more

    Jonah knows God, but he is unpracticed in God. This righteous man ends up disappointed with God. How did that come about?

    I was listening to a group of men talking, and they were talking about real men being turned off of Christianity because of the pastor’s language and even the songs we sing aren’t manly enough.

    We can learn some things from the story of Jonah. We don’t have to go through the experience of being swallowed by a whale. But we’re going to have to lose some of the "gourds" in our lives. What is a gourd? It’s anything we value more than our Lord.

    Have You Totally Lost Your Gourd? Sunday a.m., April 6, 2003 Jonah 4:1-11 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 2 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country?

    based on 10 ratings
     | 7,669 views

    Jonah was used by God to bring about revival in Nineveh, even though Jonah was an unwilling instrument of His will. This message emphasizes the need for revival today.

    Jonah 3:1 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 3:2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 3:3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD.

    Perhaps the greatest revival in history is recorded here. When there is a caring God and a changed preacher there can be a converted people.

    INTRODUCTION Have you ever had a bad day? There was a fellow standing at a bar, just looking at his drink. For a solid hour he just stares at it.

    Jonah did not know the mind of God or feel the heart of God or accept the will of God. Therefore Jonah quarrels with God, quits on God and is quietened by God.

    INTRODUCTION I like Charles Swindoll’s outline of the Book of Jonah. He says in chapter 1 Jonah is running away from God; in chapter 2 Jonah is running to God; in chapter 3 Jonah is running with God; and, in chapter 4 Jonah is running against God. I have preached a message on each of the first ...read more

     | 5,283 views

    #3 of 4 on Jonah. This message contrasts the heartless obedience of Jonah with the heartfelt repentance of the people of Nineveh. I am endebted to Dan Baumgartner of Bethany Presbyterian for many thoughts.

This morning we return again to the Old Testament story of Jonah… Jonah and the big fish. And again this morning, I would encourage you not to get bogged down by ...read more

    After all that’s happened so far – Jonah’s initial disobedience; God’s humbling of Jonah; Jonah’s going to Nineveh at the second time of asking; the Ninevites’ believing the message and being spared – surely you’d expect there to be a happy ending!

    JONAH CHAPTER FOUR INTRODUCTION Most of us love happy endings!
