Jonah- Angry Prophet of the Slow to Anger God

Oceanside United Reformed Church

Summary-We continue on a yearlong journey through the story of the Bible, from creation to Christ to consummation, with the book of Jonah. We've spent the past 2 Sundays in the books of the Kings, during which many of the prophets ministered. So we're going backwards in time to these prophet to see what they said to the northern and southern kingdoms before and after their exiles. --THE LORD CALLS HIM TO PROPHESY -CHAPS. 1-2- -o The Word came to Jonah -1-1-2--o Jonah fled from the Lord -1-3--o But you can't flee from the Lord -1-4--o The response of Jonah's fellow passengers -1-5-16--o The response of the Lord -1-17--o Jonah's prayer -chap. 2---THE LORD CALLS AGAIN HIM TO PROPHESY -CHAPS. 3-4- -o The Word came to Jonah again -3-1-2--o Jonah obeyed the Lord -3-3-4--o The unexpected response of Ninevah -3-5-9--o The merciful response of God -3-10--o The angry response of Jonah -4-1-3--o The back-and-forth between Jonah and the LORD -4-4-11-
