A Jonah Experience
Text: Jonah 1:1 – 4 “Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah
the son of Amittai, saying, 2Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city,
and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. 3But
Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and
went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid
the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish
from the presence of the LORD.
4But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a
mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.”
