Sermons on Jonah

Jonah 4:4-11 Amen. Turn in your Bibles to the Book of Jonah. Tonight will be our final study in the Book of Jonah. We’ll be reading verses 4 of chapter 4 through verse 11. I think I told you all the last couple of weeks I have no idea what’s ahead, but I think I may have an idea. I’m usually not this far behind. The Heidelberg Catechism in some Reformed denominations is Typically the Sunday night sermons, you may…

Jonah 4:1-4 Amen. Turn in your copy of the scripture to Jonah chapter four, verses one through four will be our reading tonight. Next week, we’ll pick up with chapter five to the end. And then after Jonah, I still don’t know. We’ll have to have to see what’s what’s next. But tonight, we want to look at Jonah’s anger at the Lord’s compassion. So if you’re there in chapter four, We’ll begin reading at verse one. It says, But…

Jonah 3:5-10 Turn in your copy of God’s word to Jonah chapter three. Jonah chapter three, we’re going to read tonight verses six through 10. While you’re making your way there, remember, for the last several weeks, we’ve looked at Jonah’s call. Jonah was called to go to Nineveh. to preach against the wicked city. He decided to not go to Nineveh, and he went down to Joppa, where he got on a ship. The ship was full of pagans,…

Jonah 3:1-5 Amen, turn to Jonah chapter three. Tonight we’ll look at verses one through five. Jonah chapter three, one to five. So Jonah three is a parallel to chapter one, at least the first couple of verses. You can turn to both and see that the beginning of chapter three is much like the beginning of chapter one. So chapter three of Jonah, verses one through five, I hear the word of the living God. It says, the word…

Jonah 1:17 All right, make your way to Jonah chapter one, verse 17 says this, and the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. And then turn to Luke chapter 11. And I know that all of you who were here during the sermon series on Luke remember everything that was said back when we looked at this passage. Luke chapter 11, beginning at…

Jonah 1:4-16 Let’s give our attention to God’s word, Jonah chapter one, beginning at verse four, and then we’ll read through verse 16. It says, but the Lord hurled a great wind upon the sea and there was a mighty tempest on the sea so that the ship threatened to break up. Then the mariners were afraid and each cried out to his God and they hurled the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it…

Jonah 1:3 Turn in your copy of God’s Word to Jonah 1. We will read just one verse tonight, and I think you’ll see there is a lot of gold to mine out of Jonah 1.3. So last week we looked at Jonah’s call. Tonight we want to look at what I’ve called a fool’s errand, and that fool’s errand is running from the presence of God, fleeing the presence of God. So Jonah chapter one, verse three, it says,…

Jonah 1:1-2 Amen. Turn to the book of Jonah. Hopefully you know where it is. It’s somewhere in the back. It’s one of the minor prophets. It’s a little two or three pager, which you’ll miss if you’re not careful. I think maybe 48 verses, four chapters. And somehow we’re going to get about six or eight messages out of it. We could cover it as a whole, but I think there’s a lot of good meat here for us.…
