Jonah

In Sunday school I learned about Jonah; he was one of God’s prophets who was supposed to warn the Ninevites of their destruction if they didn’t change their ways in forty days. Even when Jonah ran away, God commanded a whale to swallow him so that he could reflect on his selfish acts and preach God’s word to those who needed to hear it. After his release, Jonah did what was previously instructed to do without complaint. Jonah was pleased with his actions until he realized that God would not smite

This year’s musical “Aida”, hosted in St. Mary’s will be organized by director Jonah Hagans, and second in command Ms. Stenson. Jonah Hagans is the drama teacher from ISSH and has organized many plays such as and has won awards. Alongside Mr. Hangans, Ms. Stenson from St. Mary’s will most likely be in charge of the music. As, St. Mary’s students we are well aware of her performance, and looking at our past musicals she has showed us an outstanding performance. It is right to say that we have the

Jonah and Abigail were young teens in love and ran everywhere hand in hand. From the time when each of them were born, they were inseparable as best friends because of their parent’s already close relationship, which overtime developed into more as their bond for one another grew stronger. Over the years, they had built several memories on a certain cobble bridge, where they would hop in canoes when it was past the prohibited times to sail its rivers, light illegal lanterns in the midnight sky, and

for what transpires later in The Bible, while the book of Jonah jumps forwards generations with one man’s struggle with whether to follow God’s direction. In both books, the characters disobey the good lord, in Genesis Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of life, and in Jonah, Jonah ignores God’s directive to venture to Ninevah to save their people from their own wickedness. Furthermore, during both stories Adam and Jonah each decide to hide from God. On the surface, these actions

trek through Nineveh. We learned that they reacted just as Jonah expected and certainly not how Jonah wanted them to react. This week in the final chapter, chapter four, we are going to dive towards the finish line and see what God has in store for Jonah and for us. Literary Markers In the beginning of the chapter we pick up where Jonah is now talking with God in a negative way. Jonah knew that God was forgiving, gracious, slow to anger. Jonah did not like this and asked God to let him die. Chapter

story of Jonah is a great building block in some ways on how the church should pursue the Lord’s ultimate mission in spreading his word over all the world. Jonah had sure had his struggles finding the trust and strength to go there and preach, but in the end he did his job. Now there are somethings that the church can do in which jonah did not. He struggled with why he had to be there, and he was just angry that God saved the City of Nineveh. As a church we can grow in the areas that Jonah missed.

Bible Basis: Jonah 1:7-17 Bible Truth: God's great power was witnessed by many, Memory Verse: "Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this?" (Jonah 1:10a). I think the sunday school lesson is discussing about The lots showed that the troubles came to them because of Jonah. Then the men said to Jonah, “It is your fault that this terrible thing is happening to us. Tell us, what have you done? What is your job? Where do you come from? What is your country? Who

The prophet Jonah was an angry, hateful man who lived in eighth century B.C. During the reign of King Jeroboam II, he was commission by God to go to Nineveh and tell them to repent of their wicked ways. While it is not known, who wrote the book of Jonah is it widely believed to be have been penned by the prophet himself. The passage I have chosen takes place after the people of Nineveh repent and God has shown compassion for them. Jonah is stubbornly angry at God’s compassion and leaves Nineveh

the book of Jonah, the third chapter and the first verse. He preached from the subject “Beginning Again.” He quoted from Louise Fletcher Tarkington, who had pain from the death of her fifteen year-old daughter. I do believe that in the midst of her pain and suffering, she wished she could go to a place called “Begin Again.” Even now in my life I wish there were a place called begin again, but according to the preacher this place does not exist.
