TEXT:  Jonah 3: 1 – 10 (p.775)

 

I. SECOND CHANCE FOR JONAH

 

“Faith and obedience are bound up in the same bundle. He who obeys God trusts God, and he who trusts God obeys God.” Spurgeon

Jonah is living proof of (amazing grace).

Two things stand out with God’s invitation:

1. God doesn’t hold (grudges).

2. God doesn’t (lighten the load) this time through.

God is far more interested in (the worker) than in the work the worker does.

II. SECOND CHANCE FOR NINEVAH

 

Several lessons we can learn from this chapter:

1. God often uses the (defeated) to do great things.

2. Good news is for (losers). “He (Jesus) was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God.” 2 Cor.13:4

3. God often sends His servants into the (lion’s den).
