Recap
Week 1 - Disobedience
Back in Jonah one we saw a man that was about himself.
He did not understand why God would spare a nation that has oppressed Israel for years.
This caused Jonah to flee.
Week 2 - The Gospel Can Heal
J
Jonah did not get very far when he fled.
In fact, the most talked about fish on the planet swallows him and take him back to Joppa.
He does not spit him out however.
Jonah has to get right before God in order for that to happen.
Jonah throws up one of the most biblical prayer imaginable to God.
This is were we started to see the Gospel of Jesus working on Jonah’s heart.
Week 3 - Living on Mission
The Gospel
Last week, we saw Jonah show up and fulfil his mission and called out to Nineveh that in 40 days, they shall fall.
The Gospel is Available for Everyone
The Gospel is Available for Everyone
This lead the Ninevites to be move into a time of repentance.
The king himself evens humbles himself with his fellow country men.
They all fast, throw on sackcloth and pray to God.
God relents of the disaster and shows grace and mercy towards Nineveh.
Because Jonah carried out his mission, 2 million people were saved in those 40 days.
This brings us to the last chapter of Jonah were we will see what this prophet has to say now.

The Gospel
The Gospel is Available for Everyone
Now the thing that I really want to hit home tonight is that the Gospel is for everyone.
It is not for just certain people but it is available for all.
Thought the breakdown of these verses, we will see that Jonah lacks the understanding that God’s grace, mercy, and steadfast love is available for all.
We as Christian can often get caught up and think, “that person does not deserve that.
He does not even believe in God.”
I want to my best to lay a foundation that the Gospel of Christ is not only available for all, but it is powerful enough to save all.

Slide Scripture
The Prophet’s Displeasure
Jonah Angered
Nineveh’s repentance led to the reaction of mercy from God.
Slide Point
What pleased God displeased Jonah
Jonah finds that the time-fuse does not work on the prophetic bomb that he planted in Nineveh.
This phrase, “It displeased Jonah exceedingly”, literally means that it ways evil in Jonah’s eyes pertaining to how God spared Nineveh.
This triggered Jonah’s anger.
On top of that, Jonah’s pro[hecy did not come true.
Not he will be known as the lying prophet.
The dude is ticked.
One thing that Jonah failed to recognize was that he was privileged to be used as an instrument of God in a miraculous situation.
Slide Point
Countless numbers of modern believers miss much of the joy of being in God’s wonderful work because of centeredness.
Jonah’s Prays
So Jonah decides to complain to God.
We now see a glimpse of Jonah’s old self from come out.
This prayer is not as biblical as his prayer in chapter 2. Jonah uses the word “I” 4 times in this short prayer.
It is very centered on himself.
Here Jonah assumed that God was only with him and Israel verse with his foes the Ninevites.
Jonah has quite a bold complaint in this prayer.
Jonah complains about God’s goodness.
He complains about his grace, mercy, slow to anger, and steadfast love.
While Jonah may have become obedient in chapter 3, he lacked a spirit of submission.
Jonah end this prayer with, “Take my life”.
Believers should always be thankful that God knows the depths of every heart and knows every need better than we may know ourselves.
Let’s see how God handles this one.

God’s Response
The Probing Question
In order to correct Jonah’s bad understanding of God, God asks Jonah a question.
God, being abundant in His steadfast love sought to help Jonah understand his compassion for all people.
Pick up in verse 5.
Slide Scripture
2. The Pouting Prophet
So Jonah avoids the question and does not answer it.
Actually, he does.
He goes out from Nineveh, builds a booth out of branches and what not and then proceeds to pout and look out over the city.
That is Jonah’s answer to God’s question.
Slide Point
Rather than examining himself as the Lord had wished, he examined the city to see if they were the ones who would change.
While God looked upon Nineveh’s turning from evil with delight, Jonah looked upon it and God’s change in plans with anger and hoped for a return to evil.
Our own agendas can often get in the way of the Holy Spirt and we will not be able to see or hear the plans that God has not only for us but also for those around us.
I love these next couple verses.
God moves into a teaching time.
Pick up in verse 6.

Jonah’s booth worked or awhile until the branches that he used for the roof began to die and wither way.
4. Makes a Booth - Vine Grows
Where it say to save Jonah from his discomfort literally means to save him from his evil.
This plant or vine that God sends brigs a great joy to Jonah.
At least for a time.
4. Makes a Booth - Vine Grows
God provides a vine to minster relief to Jonah.
God has a lesson in mind.
Where it say to save Jonah from his discomfort literally means to save him from his evil.
This plant or vine that God sends brigs a great joy to Jonah.
At least for a time.
5. Worm Kills
God then sends a worm and just like that, the vine is killed and gone.
