Jonah is Preaching for God
Sermon 3: Jonah is Preaching for God
Main Passage: Jonah 3
Main Idea:
After facing the physical consequences for his actions, Jonah has now decided to obey God’s command. Which suggests to us that God’s discipline is for two things: our personal obedience and a far-reaching blessing. The other lesson we see is that our God gives second chances to leaders.
