JONAH PREACHED AND THEY BELIEVED

 

Jonah 3:1-10 / Keywords 3:5

JONAH PREACHED AND THEY BELIEVED

 

1. Jonah was called to preach Gods message (1-4)

Jonah was to preach what God told him to preach: a message of judgment to a

powerful city. We are also called to preach Gods message to the popular culture

without compromising it. Such a message is unpopular. But we should never

give into the social consensus. God wants all people to come to repentance and

salvation. His message is the only message that can purge idols, bring forgiveness

of sins and eternal life.

 

2. a miracle happened (5-10)

When Jonah obeyed, a miracle happened. The city repented. God honored

Jonahs preaching and their response. We are tempted to think that nobody would

listen to Gods message. But if we simply proclaim what we know about God, we

will be surprised at how many people will listen. Expect great things from God

when we preach his word.

 

Prayer Lord, your love and mercy compel me to obey your word. Help me to

speak your word to whomever you want me share it with. I know you will

bless it.

One Word Hold out the word of God. God will work through his word
