THE BOOK OF JONAH

…reaching those that you don't want to reach Slide2

(Jon

3:4-9) And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them

.

For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes

.

And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water

:

But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands

.

Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?Slide3

(

Luk 8:41-42) And, behold, there came a man named

Jairus

, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

(

Luk

8:49) While he yet

spake

, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

DEAD A COUPLE HOURS Slide11

(

Luk 7:11) And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

(

Luk

7:12) Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

DEAD A DAY OR SO Slide12

saith unto him, Lord, by this time he

stinketh

(1Co 2:1) And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.Slide23

(1Co 2:4) And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

(1Co 2:5) That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.Slide24

(1Co 4:20) For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.Slide25

(

Zec 4:6) Then he answered and

spake

unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit,

saith

the LORD of hosts.Slide26

(1Th 2:13) For this cause also thank we God without ceasing,

because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men

,

but as it is in truth, the word of God

, which effectually

worketh

also in you that believe.
