Jonah Archives - Redeeming God

What is the book of Jonah all about? Is it about God’s heart for all the people of the world? Is it about how God wants you to get involved in world missions?

No, it is not about either one of these things, even though this is often the way you hear it taught in sermons and during Mission’s Conferences. In this final study of the book of Jonah, you will learn what the book of Jonah is all about.

In this discussion of Jonah we look at:

Common theories about what Jonah is all about
The true message of the book of Jonah
What you can learn from the story of Jonah

Jonah 4:10-11 – God Even Loves “Evil” People

By Jeremy Myers

1 Comment

This study looks at Jonah 4:10-11, the final two verses in the book of Jonah. But this is not the end of our discussion of Jonah. There will be one final episode next week, Episode #100, in which we discuss what the story of Jonah is all about.

As we will see in this study, the story of Jonah has a very strange ending, but it shows us that God loves all people, even those we consider “evil.”

Jonah 4:6 – What is Evil?

By Jeremy Myers

2 Comments

What is evil? Do you know evil when you see it? We all think we know what evil is, that we can recognize it, and that we are able to accurately judge between good and evil.

But we see today from Jonah 4:6 that judging between good and evil should be left up to God.

The Text of Jonah 4:6

And Yahweh God prepared a vine to grow up over Jonah, to provide shade for his head, to rescue him from evil. And Jonah rejoiced over the vine; he greatly rejoiced.

In this discussion of Jonah 4:6 we look at:

The plant that God caused to grow over Jonah
Why this plant was used by God to deliver Jonah from evil
What this tells us about the nature of evil
Why Jonah was so happy about the plant

Jonah 2:5-6 – How (and how not) to Pray

By Jeremy Myers

4 Comments

What is your prayer life like? Do you ever wonder if you are praying properly? As we continue to look at Jonah’s prayer in Jonah 2:5-6, we learn some more lessons today about how to pray, and how not to pray.

The Text of Jonah 2:5-6

The waters surrounded me, even to my soul; the deep closed around me; Weeds were wrapped around my head.

I went down to the moorings of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed behind me forever; Yet You have brought up my life from the pit, O Lord, my God.

In this discussion of Jonah 2:5-6 we look at:

Why Jonah 2:5-6 are a repeat of Jonah 2:2-3
How Jonah 2:5-6 point the reader to Genesis 1
Why Jonah’s prayer is not a model prayer
Some lessons on how (and how not) to pray

By Jeremy Myers

The Text of Jonah 1:1-3

Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness has come up before me.”

But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish …

In this discussion of Jonah 1:2 we look at:

A reminder that Jonah was a popular prophet
A bit about how evil Nineveh was
Why God wanted Jonah to preach against Nineveh
Jonah’s surprising response to God’s instructions
