    Jonah was angry because God did not destroy Ninevah. In his protesting prayer, Jonah declared some wonderful truths about the goodness and compassion of God.

    THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JONAH "And Jonah prayed to the Lord and said, ’Please Lord, was not this what I said while I was still in my own country? Therefore, in order to forestall this I fled to Tarshish, for I knew that Thou art a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in ...read more

    Jonah did not know the mind of God or feel the heart of God or accept the will of God. Therefore Jonah quarrels with God, quits on God and is quietened by God.

    INTRODUCTION I like Charles Swindoll’s outline of the Book of Jonah. He says in chapter 1 Jonah is running away from God; in chapter 2 Jonah is running to God; in chapter 3 Jonah is running with God; and, in chapter 4 Jonah is running against God. I have preached a message on each of the first ...read more

    From this unusual text, we are able to learn seven truths about God’s love, and how His love never changes, in spite of our changing conditions.

    VERSE 1: GOD’S LOVE NEVER CHANGES, EVEN WHEN I AM ANGRY WITH HIM. Whenever the name “Job” is mentioned, people often associate him with suffering and patience. We like to see him as a tragic figure who endured his turmoil with grace and candor. Now, it is true that Job “did not sin with his ...read more

    Jonah knew God’s grace, but he didn’t want God to be merciful. Jonah complains in anger, but God responds with another lesson in grace.

    Jonah’s heart is revealed as not right and God is concerned with the conversion of people more than we are.

    Jonah 4 What makes you angry? Do you get angry very easily? Anger is such an important emotion but it is also a very revealing emotion. It tells us something is wrong – the problem is it does not tell us if the thing which is wrong is outside or inside us. We get angry because something is not ...read more
