We close our Old Testament survey with the story of the Prophet Jonah, who started out not wanting to obey God, but found that God has a way of turning us around so that we are finally obedient.
Jonah was sent by God to preach to the wicked city of Ninevah and warn them to turn away from their sin. Jonah actually seemed to want Ninevah to keep on sinning so that God would punish them, rather than repenting. After Jonah’s attempt to run away from God in the opposite direction from Ninevah being thrown into the sea and swallowed by a big fish, and praying in the belly of the fish for three days, he finally did go to Ninevah and preached God’s message. The end of the story finds Jonah upset that Ninevah actually listened to his message and repented, still arguing with God.
Come join us Sunday and bring a friend as we study this exciting story.
Ton and Sydney Cook
