An informal congregational poll revealed that NO ONE in our congregation saw the prophet Jonah as a spiritual role model.  Those who are familiar with the book that bears his name can see the wisdom in this finding.  However, the book of Jonah is about more than just a man who struggled and failed to follow God.  Jonah was also a man who mirrored our spiritual struggles.  We too, flee from God, we too, choose to disobey Him.  With that in mind, let's learn some lessons that God wanted Jonah to learn, because we need to learn them as well.
