Jonah Conclusion – What is the Book of Jonah About?
http://media.blubrry.com/one_verse/feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/369231869-redeeminggod-100-jonah-conclusion-what-is-the-book-of-jonah-about.mp3

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.

Jonah conclusion

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

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?

Jonah 4:6 – What is Evil?
http://media.blubrry.com/one_verse/feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/353207630-redeeminggod-jonah-46-what-is-evil.mp3

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.

Jonah 4:6

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
http://media.blubrry.com/one_verse/feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/324218121-redeeminggod-78-jonah-25-6-how-and-how-not-to-pray.mp3

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.

Jonah 2:5-6

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

Jonah 1:2 – God Calls Jonah

Jonah 1:2 – God Calls Jonah
http://media.blubrry.com/one_verse/feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/307991145-redeeminggod-65-jonah-12-god-calls-jonah.mp3

Jonah 1 2Do you have an enemy? Maybe it was President Obama. Maybe now it is President Trump. Or maybe it’s the Islamic terrorists in Iran. Or the religious nut jobs here in the United States.

Maybe it is someone you don’t necessarily think of as an enemy, but you just can’t stand to be around them. Maybe a family member, a coworker, or a neighbor?

Anyway, imagine what you would do if God showed up in your living room later today, and said, “Hey! You know that person you just can’t stand? Well, I can’t stand them either, and I have a message of judgment I want you to tell them.”

If that happened to you, what would you do?

Well, that is exactly what happened to Jonah.

In Jonah 1:2, God calls Jonah to go preach against Nineveh. This podcast episode looks at why God said this, and concludes with a brief look at Jonah’s Jonah’s surprising response.

Jonah 1:3

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
