The Book of Jonah is not primarily a story about a whale. It's the story of a prophet who knew everything about God… and still had a heart that hated what God loved. In this powerful message, we walk verse-by-verse through one of the most confronting books in the Bible and discover that Jonah is a mirror: he shows us how easy it is to have perfect doctrine and zero love, to quote Scripture fluently while running from God, and to be angry when the wrong people get saved. Introduction: The Prophet Who Knew Too Much 1. The Call & The Run (Jonah 1:1-3) God said "Go east to Nineveh." Jonah booked a one-way ticket 2,500 miles west to Tarshish. Why? Because he knew God was "gracious and compassionate" (4:2) and he didn't want his enemies forgiven. → You can believe all the right things about God's mercy and still hate it when He gives it to people you dislike. 2. The Storm & The Sleep (Jonah 1:4-16) A divinely sent storm, pagan sailors praying in panic, and God's prophet fast asleep below deck. Jonah's theology was flawless ("I fear the LORD, the God of heaven who made the sea and land") but his life was a trainwreck. → The sailors end up worshipping the true God because of Jonah's rebellion. Your failure never stays private, but God is so sovereign He can use even your worst moments for someone else's salvation. 3. The Rescue & The Prayer (Jonah 1:17–2:10) The great fish is not punishment; it is rescue. Three days in the stomach of grace. Only at absolute rock bottom does Jonah finally pray. His prayer ends with the gospel in five words: "Salvation is of the LORD."

Jonah part 21 chapter 4 verses 5-11 Jonah finds relief from a plant (is gourd the correct word?), and God tries to teach him a lesson.

Most people who know the rudiments of the story of Jonah don't really believe it happened, but they regard it as an allegory or a fable. The intermediate students know that Jonah fled rather than to obey God by going to Nineveh. In this series you are becoming part of the Advanced Placement class by learning the depths of the value of this unique book of the Bible. We left off with Jonah having been swallowed by the fish God appointed for the task (see 1:15-17). Chapter 2 is the prayer Jonah prayed from inside the fish. We'll look at the whole prayer – only 10 verses – then make some observations about it. 1 - Focus On God 2 - Be Honest About Your Trial 3 - Do What God Wants

5:44 Did Charlie Kirk change his views on Israel? 11:01 Is church membership biblical? 17:05 What does it mean in Matthew 24:24 when it says that "if possible and even the elect" in this verse about being led astray? 24:21 Is faith a gift according to Ephesians 2:8-9? 30:06 Can we know when the rapture will happen? 36:08 Do you believe that it's possible that the Lord could give to somebody today the knowledge of when the rapture might be? 44:14 Why was Jonah mad when God spared the inhabitants of Nineveh? 49:28 How do we discern between the antichrist and The Antichrist? 52:24 Should we need God or want God?
