When we come to the Book of Jonah people think man this guy is just a flaky prophet. Why did God even call this man? This man was actually a very faithful prophet of God, and we have record of him, especially as he's addressing a very wicked king of Israel Jeroboam the second, he stood up against this king and he was very courageous and speaking the word of the Lord. So, he has a history prior to this situation with Nineveh of being faithful, of being obedient, and being a powerful voice for the for the person of God, but something happened that we're going to discover as we go through this text, the reasons why.

Something happened to Jonah that caused him to completely flake out and to completely bust a move and disobey the Lord and I think you're going to find it interesting. Some of you already know the story, for some of you this story may be a bit new.

Enjoy the rest of the message.
