Excited About Upcoming Sermon Series on Jonah

Jonah: Lessons in How Not to Obey God—that’s the descriptor for my new Sunday morning sermon series.

Over and over again Jonah gets things wrong.  He’s a test case in how not to listen to God. I saw where John MacArthur went so far as to preach a sermon about Jonah titled, “The Worst Missionary.”  It’s amazing that God uses Jonah at all (there’s a lesson for us somewhere in there).

Here’s my preaching plan for Jonah over the course of the next four Sunday mornings:

1. “It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over” (Jonah 1:1-16)
2. “From Worst to First” (Jonah 1:17-2:10)
3. “The God of Second Chances” (Jonah 3:1-10)
4. “Pity for a City” (Jonah 4:1-11)

Hopefully we’ll figure out a way to start recording the sermon audio at my new church. Then I’ll make sure to post it here on the blog so all four of you regular readers can give it a listen.
