Introduction
The story of Jonah is NOT a story about a fish or a prophet - it is a story about God
Illust - What do you wish you could do-over?
What do you wish you could use a Mulligan on?
Both the opening and closing verse display a God of second chances
God’s Call to Return to Mission (3:1-4)
God is in control of his mission.
God is winning (and will win) this chess game.
God relentlessly pursues in mercy
Illust - Dad pursuing a child
God can use us in the place of our failure.
Jonah receives identical second call
God didn’t alter the call because Jonah had failed the first time.
There are no throw-away prophets or throw-away people.
God wants us on mission.
God didn’t give Jonah an altered plan.
The lost didn’t change - they still need to
The mission didn’t change - Jonah did
God hasn’t changed - we must
Gospel Repentance of the City (3:5-10)
The gospel can come through anyone because of God’s empowerment.
The simplicity of the gospel shows a powerful God
The Ninevites didn’t know much about God, but they fell on his mercy
Despite earlier predictions - Jonah did it!
- because God empowered him - he only needed to be obedient
The gospel can reach everyone because of God’s love.
it was God’s desire to reach Nineveh - not Jonah’s
This is God’s work - not Jonah’s
The gospel can transform anyone because of God’s work.
The only thing Jonah was to add to the mission was faithful obedience - not talent
The “least to the greatest” were transformed
“believed” is the first word of the verse/section in indicates immediacy of response
The gospel affects everyone because of God’s grace
God had / has every right to judge
as we operate in the gospel it affects others
notice God relented from destruction - this affected more than those who believed in the city
