1. Jonah’s disobedience

2. God's intervention in Jonah’s life

3. Nineveh’s repentance

4. Jonah’s resentment

God uses three separate and distinct stages to prepare us for His mission:

1.God turns us around.

• In chapter 1, the concept of fleeing from God's presence is found 3 times. (1:3, 10
• The proof that God didn't give up on Jonah is that he miraculously intervened in Jonah's life. (1:4, 17)

2. God gives us a second chance.

• To repent means to straighten out your thinking.
• Repentance involves obeying God and changing your behavior.
• When we repent, we raise the white flag of surrender. (2:2-9)
• With God, second chances are always available when repentance is real. (2:10; 3:1)

3. God helps us rediscover His values.

• Why was Jonah’s heart so resentful? (4:2)

Learn to heal emotionally.




• God needed to help Jonah rediscover His values. (4:6-11)
