Contributed by Cameron Horsburgh on Feb 20, 2001

An overview of the story of Jonah’s missionary travels, and how his attitude kept getting in the way of God’s plan.

Introduction. What is it we think of when people mention the story of Jonah? I guess a lot of people think about the fish. Others think about the plant that grew and then died.

The floor later had to be completely replaced. At another church where I pastored, the ceiling fell in; and of course, the ...read more
