Up until this point of Jonah, we're not told what his motivation was for running. He finally obeyed in preaching to the Ninevites and they actually repented! That's wonderful news! This should have been a joyous occasion for Jonah.... but it wasn't. Why????

The subtitle to this sermon series is "And the God of Second Chances." We saw Jonah's second chance, but there's another second chance offered to the entire nation of Nineveh. This message focuses on the king of Nineveh and his response to Jonah's message of impending judgment if they don't repent. Even a believer in Christ can be reminded of the necessity and value of repentance. And certainly for the unbeliever, this passage presents a great template for repenting and believing in Christ.

The title of this message is a play off of the phrase "once learned, twice burned," or perhaps you know it as "once bitten, twice shy." Either way, it's a way of saying that you learned your lesson well. If you burned your hand on the stove once, you're now going to take twice as many precautions to ensure you don't do that again!

Jonah did the same thing after being swallowed by the fish. He was burned by his disobedience and he will now be twice as diligent in obeying the Lord.

Have you ever been at "rock bottom?" It's never fun, but the beauty of it is it always gives us a chance to repent. That was the case for Jonah. In Jonah 2, Jonah gives us a model for repentance that we can use in our own lives when we're helpless.

In crime movies, when the bad guys are caught and the police are busting up their operation, they might say "the jig is up, boys." In other words, "we've been caught." When it comes to our own sin, we like to hide it and cover it up, but God will reveal our sin if it means accomplishing His will.

In our passage, Jonah gets caught in his disobedience, his sin. Although none of us have been called to rise and go to Nineveh, we all have a command from the Lord that we're expected to obey.

Are you required to obey your parents? What about God? Surprisingly, the answer is both yes and no. Yes, you absolutely are required to. God doesn't give you an alternative, you're commanded to obey Him and your parents. Also no, you have a sense of independent will and you can refuse to serve the Lord and disobey your parents. It's not a wise choice, to say the least, and we'll see as we dive into the text that Jonah has begun to take the latter route himself!

Have you ever asked for a favor from someone that wasn't for you? As in, you went on someone else's behalf to ask for a favor. Using your own social capital to pull in a favor for someone else is a really good thing to do. But what happens when that person doesn't hear your request? Or maybe they forgot to do it? That's the worst!

Thankfully, we don't have to worry about God ever doing that. When we come to Him boldly with a request, He always answers. Grab your Bible and tune in for more!
