Series: Jonah

Jonah 1:1-3
CIT- God calls Jonah to peach to Ninevah and Jonah disobeys.
Proposition- God calls each of us to obedience, we will either enjoy obedience or run from his presence.
INTRODUCTION:
The Man- First mentioned in 2 Kings 14:25. He was a prophet during the reign of Jeroboam II in Israel. (702-81 BC) Prophesied that God would enlarge the borders of Israel. He was a contemporary of Amos and Hosea. The Book- Always been one of the most controversial books in the Bible. Liberal scholarship has always tried to discredit the historicity of it.

They would claim that the account of the fish and living inside the whale for three days is just beyond belief. However, the book itself claims to be historical. Also, Jesus mentions Jonah in Matt. 12:39-40. To discredit Jonah is to discredit Jesus!

It is the story of someone like you and me. The story of his struggles, calling, disobedience, problems, and prayer life. It is the story of his second chance and his successes and his failures.''

''The Word of the Lord'' God revealed himself to Jonah. How? We really don't know. Perhaps it was in a vision like Peter on the roof, or the still small voice that Elijah heard. The point is that God spoke; it was time for Jonah to sit up and listen. God is still speak ...
