Passage: Jonah 1:1-17

Preacher: Paige Findley

Series: Jonah

Summary:

Jonah: the prophet on the run. But why? Jonah grew up hearing about the brutality of the Assyrians, especially against God's people of Israel. The Assyrians governed by fear; public executions were normal. They would take the lopped Hebrew heads and hurl them at their city gates: "Don't mess with Assyria!" So is it any wonder why - when God called Jonah to proclaim His Word to Nineveh, the capital of brutal Assyria, the epicenter of evil & violence - Jonah exited stage left? There's so much more to this book than a big fish. Through the power of His Word may the Lord conform our lives more closely to Jesus as we consider Jonah.
