By Bruce Hollins, January 26, 2025

Nineveh:

  • Nahum Chapter 3

  • Zephaniah Chapter 2

  • Jonah 1:2

Review of Jonah Chapter 1

Review of Jonah Chapter 2

“…the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.” - Jonah 2:10

Unpacking Jonah Chapter 3:

Jonah 3:1-3 - Jonah’s Commission:

  • God give’s Jonah a “Mulligan”
  • 1 Kings 17:21-23

Jonah 3:3b-4 - Jonah’s Obedience:

  • “I’ve got some good news and some bad news!”

Jonah 3:5-9 – The Ninevites’ Confession:

  • Just 8 words
  • The Ninevites’ respond.

Jonah 3:10 – God’s Compassion

  • Jonah 3:10

“When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.”

Questions to Consider:

  • Has there ever been a time in your life where you’ve needed a “Mulligan” from God?

  • What should we learn about God’s nature from his forgiveness of the Ninevites?

  • If God is willing to forgive us, what should our response be towards others?
