Matters of the Heart

Jonah 4
INTRODUCTION: Everyone loves a good story....

Ch. 3 - Jonah goes to Nineveh... Preaches and the whole city turns to God.
- Don't underestimate how amazing this is. God uses a rebellious prophet to bring about the greatest spiritual awakening in history.
- An entire city, royalty included, (Completely deserving of God's wrath and jus ...
