The story of Jonah is one that we might all be familiar with. We often picture him being swallowed by a whale. But the part of the story that is more important is what happens after he's no longer in the belly of the fish. The people of Nineveh repent, and God spares them from destruction, but this doesn't make Jonah happy. While he may not wail, he certainly is angry. Angry at God's mercy towards people. And that's what the story of Jonah is about. Not Jonah, not a whale, but God's mercy and grace toward His people.

The end of Jonah is best read together with a much less well-known biblical book. Text: Jonah 3-4, Nahum 1-3.  In this episode, Rabbi Soloveichik discusses the Un'taneh Tokef prayer from the High Holiday liturgy. You can read a translation of it here.

The tale of the fleeing prophet is ultimately about identity and the monotheistic vision. Text: Jonah 1.

You would like to think that by the time we get to the end of his story, Jonah has changed. That after all he'd been through, he was a better person, a better servant of God than he was at the start of the story. Sadly, by the time we get to chapter 4 of Jonah, we find that he is pretty much the same person he was in chapter 1: arrogant, opinionated, self-centered, and unsympathetic.  Jonah finally obeys God and goes to Nineveh, warning them of impending judgment. His message is blunt and offers no mention of God's mercy or how to find His forgiveness.  Why? Because Jonah doesn't really WANT the Ninevites to repent! He wanted them to pay for their wickedness.  But God's Spirit breaks through anyway! And the people break down in sorrow. So widespread is the repentance that we're told it reaches from the poorest of the poor to the richest of the rich – including the king himself! And God relents.  The Ninevites are happy.  God is happy.  But one person isn't happy.  Who is that?  The preacher, Jonah! What's Jonah peeved about? That God would show mercy and withhold judgment from others.             Do you smell a hint of hypocrisy here?  “I'm so grateful for my forgiveness, but I'm not about to offer that person forgiveness!” Jonah goes outside the city, sits down, and waits. For what? He's hoping their repentance will be short-lived and God's judgment will still come… and he wants a front-row seat! Instead, God gives him an object lesson. A vine grows up to give him shade from the sun and Jonah is happy. But then God appoints a worm to destroy the plant, and a scorching wind to blister the prophet. And Jonah gets angry. God's response? He asks a question: You cared about a plant that grew up overnight and was gone the next day. Should I not care about the Ninevites – people I created and love? Thus we come to the conclusion of the book of Jonah. A strange way to end, isn't it? Yet God's question still rings today.  Who are the Ninevites in your world? People who have hurt you and the ones you love. People deserving of judgment every bit as much as the Ninevites.  Yet God loves them…every bit as much as He loves you.  Will you leave the judgment to God and forgive as you have been forgiven?    Text: Jonah 4 Originally recorded on May 22, 2011, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN.

There are certain words the writer of the book of Jonah uses to emphasize important elements of the story. Words like “great” and “down.” But there's another important word that is in fact, one of the most fundamental words in the Bible. GO. Abraham, Moses, Joshua, David, and Esther – all were called by God to GO. To step out in faith. To take a risk. And because they obeyed, they changed the course of history. Unfortunately, over time, God's people began to define their holiness not in terms of GO, but in terms of STOP. What they had stopped doing. Where they had stopped going. Who they had stopped being with. As a result, they ceased being influencers for good. This is the deeper meaning of the book of Jonah.  It wasn't merely the story of a man who refused to GO to those God had a heart for, it was the story of a nation who refused to fulfill its purpose. Nowhere was this seen more clearly than in the lives of a group called the Pharisees, a first-century sect whose religion was one of prohibition rather than liberation.  As you can imagine, this approach put them on a collision course with Jesus. Jesus didn't confuse being set apart for God with being set apart from people. Rather, at all times and in all ways, He sought to engage, to help, to heal, and to restore. Rather than running from evil to good, He brought good to evil.   The tragedy is that, in our day, all too many would-be disciples have embraced the ethic of the Pharisees rather than the ethic of Jesus.  For them, the word isn't “go,” but “stop.” Friends, the heart of Christian discipleship is not what you have stopped but how you're going.  It's not primarily evidenced by what you've avoided but in how you're engaged. Jesus made the importance of this quite clear in how He lived.  But He also made it quite clear in what He taught. John 20:21 captures that: “As the Father has sent Me, I am sending you.” Notice that first little word: As. That two-letter word contains both a motive and a model.   Why did God send His Son into this broken world?  Because He loved it. As with Him, so must it be with us.  As those who have touched by His outrageous love, so we are called to love.   But not only is that our motive, it's our model. Jesus didn't love from a distance. Jesus didn't play it safe. Jesus was engaged. Jesus got involved.  Christ's ethic sends us into the fray.  It's about engagement.  It's about restoration.  It's about healing. It's about going. Jesus' last words, words that are known as “The Great Commission” summarize not only His life but His call to everyone who would be His disciple: “GO into all the world…go into the marketplace…go into the schools…go into the neighborhoods of your city. Go into the prisons and the hospitals and the food banks. Go into all the world. And don't leave it as you found it.”  Text: Jonah 3:1Originally recorded on May 15, 2011, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN.  

“Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time…” (Jonah 3:1)To my way of thinking, this is arguably the most remarkable verse in the entire book of Jonah. The first time word of the Lord came to Jonah, he consciously and stubbornly disobeyed. And yet, in a display of remarkable patience and loving discipline, God chased him down and brought him to the end of himself.  From the belly of a fish, Jonah recognized the foolishness of his actions, confessed his sin, and committed himself to obey.  Now God is offering Jonah a second chance.  The assignment hadn't changed…and it hadn't got any easier.  In fact, more times than not God will call you right back to the venue where you went wrong.  -       back to that family you hurt-       back to that person you betrayed-       back to that place where you denied Him Jonah was told to go to Nineveh. Nineveh not only symbolizes the place we don't want to go to, it symbolizes the place that isn't worth going to.  Nineveh represents all that seems to be beyond redemption.  Nineveh represents that which is simply too screwed up, too messed up, too washed up for there to be any hope of it ever being otherwise. And yet the God of the Second Chance says, “That's where I want you to go.”  Why?  Because the same God who thought you were worth going after thinks they're worth going after. So, Jonah obeys…finally. And when he arrives, he gives a short, terse sermon. “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” (v. 4) It's as if Jonah is caught up in the “no way” list. “There's no way that anything will change.” We have “no way” lists too. “I can't hope to have an impact.  My presence won't make a difference.  My words won't matter. These people, this situation, will never change. No way.”  But God says… “Way!”   Against all odds, the people of Nineveh from the lowest citizen to the king heard the warning…and repented. Once you allow room for and partner with the God of the Second Chance anything is possible.  Text: Jonah 3:1-10 Originally recorded on May 8, 2011, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN.  ROY RIEGELS PHOTOS

In the journey of faith God not only frequently calls us to hard things but He will chase us down if we run from that call.  In fact, what we've seen is a pattern that God uses to correct His kids.   It starts with disobedience.    That disobedience typically results in God's discipline.   This often creates a moment of distress. That's when Jonah finally cried out to God.  It's at this point that we have to make a decision to obey.  Will we repent or not? Will we just feel sorry or will we start doing what's right? It's when we choose to obey that God can provide deliverance.  When Jonah found himself in the belly of a fish, he was at the bottom of that circle of disobedience, discipline, and distress. But it was there that Jonah turned to God in prayer.  When you're sinking fast, prayer moves from simply being “nice” to being a “necessity.”   Here in the second chapter of the book of Jonah, we find a model of prayer for when you're sinking. The first letter of each step will spell out FAITH.    Feelings.  Express your thoughts and feelings about your circumstances.Affirmation. Affirm that God is big enough to handle it, and that you trust Him.Intentions.  State that, by faith, you will follow wherever God leads. Thanks. Giving thanks reminds you that the One who helped you back then is no less able to help you right now.   Hope. Choosing to believe that God will come through for you once again.  F-A-I-T-H. It's a great pattern for prayer for when you're sinking.   Text: Jonah 2:1-10Originally recorded on May 1, 2011, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN.

Text: Jonah 3: 3-10Summary: Today we reflect on what God has done in and among us through the story of Jonah and longing for God's presence.Support the show

As we ended the last episode, after admitting that he is the cause of the ferocious storm battering their ship, our hero, Jonah, has been thrown overboard. As he sinks down into the sea, Jonah no doubt believes he is going to die.  But God has other plans. The Bible says God “provided” a huge fish to swallow Jonah.  Now, many people hear this part of the story and react with great skepticism. Swallowed by a whale and living to tell the tale?  Well, let me offer a couple of possibilities. HOW DID JONAH SURVIVE?1.  Through natural  means Believe it or not, there is actually an account of a British sailor with an oddly similar story.  But even if you don't buy it, Jonah's survival may have happened… 2.   Through supernatural means Simply said, it was a miracle. Listen, you grant me God, and anything is possible! So here is Jonah, in the belly of a fish for three days. What did he do? He prayed. WHY DID JONAH PRAY? 1.  Because he was in over his head.  There are a lot of reasons why we don't pray as we should.  But do you know what one of the main ones is?  We think we can handle life without praying.   God brings Jonah to a place of total desperation. He is in over his head. And it's then that he finally looks up. 2.  Jonah prayed … because he was out of options.The honest truth is that Jonah turns to God because he has nowhere else to turn.  Maybe that's where you find yourself.  You're in over your head and you're fresh out of options.  You don't know what to do.   I'll tell you a place to start: PRAY.   God is never more than a prayer away. And the first step to getting out of the deep water you find yourself in is to humbly go to the only One who can help you get out of it or live through it. Jonah prays and as he does, he begins to get some badly needed perspective. “Why have I been so foolish?” It's then that Jonah does what he should have done a lot earlier. He repents.  Repentance isn't simply admitting that you've been wrong; it's making the decision to start doing what's right.   Repentance is the prerequisite for deliverance. Jonah gets delivered on the third day when the fish vomited him onto dry land. WHAT DOES JONAH TEACH US?Our failures are not fatal.Our hope is not futile.   Text: Jonah 1:17-2:10Originally recorded on April 17, 2011, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN.

When Jonah heard God's call to go the Nineveh, the capital of Israel's enemy, Assyria, instead of obeying, the prophet ran in the opposite direction.  The biblical narrator paints the picture with words packed with meaning. Jonah 1:3 - He went down to Joppa.Jonah 1:5 – But Jonah had gone below deck where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. Running from the Lord, refusing to do what He asks begins a downward spiral. It was true for Jonah, and it is true for you. Jonah went to Joppa, and “found a ship” that was headed to the opposite end of the Mediterranean Sea. Coincidence?  Not when you are looking for it.              When you're looking for a way out, there will always be a ship to take. When you're searching for a reason to NOT obey what you're being called to do, you will never lack for “a ship” - an excuse, an “out,” a rationalization. Jonah found a ship and then he “paid the fare.” There will always be a fare to pay.  There will always be a price exacted when you say, “No” to what God is asking you to do. There always are hidden costs when you opt for your way rather than God's.  There will always be a storm to face.Who sent the storm? Verse 4 says God did. Why did He send the storm? To effect repentance in His servant. The storm was God's disciplinary tool. This idea of God disciplining His children isn't talked about too much these days. But the Bible makes it clear that His is not only a tender love but a tough love. Sometimes He must hurt us in order to heal us. There will always be a surprise to behold.  As the storm raged, the crew of this vessel began praying to their various gods and throwing cargo overboard. They asked Jonah, “What's going on?”  Jonah answers, "There is one supreme God.  He's the one that sent this storm.  He reigns over heaven and earth. That's who I'm running from. You should throw me overboard.”  Amazingly, the sailors don't do it. Ironically, these sailors have more compassion for someone from another race than this prophet had for the people of Nineveh. They're rowing like crazy, but the storm is too strong.  They start praying again, but this time it's not to their Elohim. It's to YHWH.               Notwithstanding Jonah's utter failure to be a compelling witness, God still moves and people still respond.      Text: Jonah 1:4-16Originally recorded on April 10, 2011, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN.

The story of Jonah ranks among the best-known of any in the O.T.  It's right up there with Noah and the ark, David and Goliath, and Daniel in the lion's den.  Jonah's story takes place about 770 BC. By this time the nation of Israel has been split into two kingdoms through a tragic and costly civil war. By this time both kingdoms were in spiritual freefall. Immorality and idolatry were rampant. Injustice was the rule not the exception. Though there was a veneer of religion, God was increasingly marginalized. In an attempt to pull His people out of this tailspin, the Lord sent prophets to both kingdoms.  Sadly, very few listened to the words of warning and ultimately judgment came to both kingdoms. In the last half of the 8th century B.C., storm clouds began to form on the northern frontier as the nation of Assyria rose to power, with its great capital, the mighty city of Nineveh.   Assyria was not only a great military power, it was known for its incredible cruelty. More than one historian has argued that the Assyrians were the cruelest conquerors who ever walked the earth. THIS is where God called Jonah to go. His assignment was not simply to preach “to” Nineveh, but “against” Nineveh. He was to give a solemn message of impending judgment with no promise or expectation that they would listen.   To put this into perspective, imagine being asked to go to Iraq at the height of Saddam Hussein's power and walk the streets of Baghdad calling people to repent in the name of the God of Israel.But the Word of the Lord came to Jonah – “Go to Nineveh.” This leads to the first observation I'd like to make:  God's callings are often challenging. When God calls a man or woman to something great, very seldom is it comfortable, convenient, or safe. Part and parcel of being a disciple is hearing His call to go to difficult places and do scary things…with no promise of success. And that leads to a second observation: Our first response to a difficult calling is usually fear. But that fear response doesn't mean the calling isn't from God. God intentionally calls us into that which is doomed for failure without His help. But that doesn't mean we can't step into it.   Courage is not the lack of fear. It's the decision to act anyway.   This leads us to the last observation: The decision we make reflects our view of God.            Friends, the question isn't, “How big is the challenge?”  The question is, “How big is your God? God's callings include God's enablings. Here are 2 concluding thoughts:It is never too late to quit running from God.  It is never too soon to start trusting God.      Text: Jonah 1:1-3Originally recorded on March 27, 2011, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN.

"The Compassion of God" Jonah Week #4 Text: Jonah 4:1–11 Topic: Grace, Anger, Sovereignty, Mission Big Idea of the Message: God uses a vivid object lesson to teach Jonah about his sovereignty over creation and compassion towards sinners. Application Point: God will lovingly put you in situations and places where your comfort and desires are pressed, so that they might conform to his plan for your life. Discussion Questions: What is one thing that stood out to you from this week's message? Why is Jonah still angry, and who is he angry with? What do we learn through the contrast of creation's obedience (the wind and the plant) versus Jonah's disobedient heart? What do we learn about God's character through his patience and persistence with Jonah? Why is God still concerned with one rebellious prophet when a whole city just repented? How can I pray for you?

"Grace Beneath the Waves" Jonah Week #2 Text: Jonah 1:17–2:10 Topic: Prayer, Salvation, Listening, Obeying Big Idea of the Message: When Jonah literally hits rock bottom, God rescues him and redirects his thoughts and actions. Application Point: God can hear your prayer, save you, and create space for you to listen to and obey him, even when you are at your lowest point. Discussion Questions: What is one thing that stood out to you from this week's message? Tell us about the worst day of your life. How was God present with you when you were at your lowest point? What purpose does prayer serve in difficult times? Salvation Belongs to the Lord. What things has God done to redirect your life toward his purpose? How can we pray for you this week?

Text: Jonah 2:1-10 We often see the best in humanity (and perhaps also the worst) when storms challenge a community – first responders and humanitarians right alongside price gougers and swindlers. Human beings, it turns out, are not the most reliable creatures. In the Bible, Jonah doesn't trust God's advice and fails to follow it, but ultimately he relies on God's goodness because God is good all the time. While wind and rain and the storms of life will toss us about, we can trust that God will hold us up and save us from the pits we fall into. New to St. Andrew?

Text: Jonah 1:1–17 Topic(s): Calling, Disobedience, Providence, Salvation Big Idea of the Message: Jonah rejects God's call to preach to the city of Nineveh and finds himself floating in a sea of regret. Application Point: Don't try to outrun God's purpose for your life; it is futile and often costly for you and for those around you. Discussion Questions: What is one thing that stood out to you from this week's message? How have you run from God's purpose and plan for your life? What were the consequences of your running from God? How do our actions impact the people around us? What would keep you from running toward God rather than running from him? How can I pray for you?

Listen along as we continue through the story of God. Text: Jonah 1:1-3 & Nahum 1:1-6a. Title: Poet, Punk, Prophet “Assyria must surely have among the worst press notices of any state in history. Babylon may be a byname for corruption, decadence and sin but the Assyrians and their famous rulers, with terrifying names like Shalmaneser, Tiglath-Pileser, Sennacherib, Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal, rate in the popular imagination just below Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan for cruelty, violence, and sheer murderous savagery.” - Paul Kriwaczek “While historians tend to shy away from analogies, it is tempting to see the Assyrian Empire, which dominated the Middle East from 900-612 BC, as a historical forebear of Nazi Germany: an aggressive, murderously vindictive regime supported by a magnificent and successful war machine. As with the German army of World War II, the Assyrian army was the most technologically and doctrinally advanced of its day and was a model for others for generations afterwards. - Simon Anglim “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. 1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. 2 And he prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.” (Jonah 3:10-4:2)
