Title: The Prodigal Prophet Praying (2 of 4)
Series: Jonah
Text: Jonah 1: 17 & Jonah 2: 1-10
I - The Predicament of Jonah (1: 17)

III - The Plight (3 - 7)
IV - The Perception (8)
V - The Promise (9 - 10)
This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline, with subpoints.
I love studying the Book of Jonah because it is so relevant, even today. The book has a fluid flow, as one goes from chapter to chapter with a prodigal. The Lord had called Jonah into the prophetic ministry and we find him front a center in the Book of Kings and in this book, the Book of Jonah.
The flow is simple, yet sublime, and serious:
1. Jonah Plummeting "Running 'From' God" (Chapter One)
2. Jonah Praying "Running 'Towards' God" (Chapter Two)
3. Jonah Preaching "Running 'With' God" (Chapter Three)
4. Jonah Pouting "Running 'Ahead' of God" (Chapter Four)
Bad Preachers
A Pastor was doing his Children's Church sermon where all the kids come down to the front & hear a story. The Pastor was discussing the story of Jonah. He quoted the Scripture from Jonah: "The Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah upon the dry land."
When the Pastor finished the verse, he started trying to solicit input from the children to help him complete his mini-sermon. He asked, "So, boys and girls, what does the fish vomiting Jonah out on dry land teach us today? One of the little boys spoke up with great enthusiasm for the entire congregation to hear and screams, "Pastor, it proves that even a fish can't stomach a bad preacher."
The story of Jonah is not about a fish swallowing a preacher, though we see it in the story, and in theory, it is not about a preacher that backslides, but it is about the love of God who yearns to see a heathen nation repent of their sin.
