It's Time for Change!

Passage: Jonah 3:4-5

Preacher: Tim Badal

Summary:

Part 7 “It’s Time for Change!” Jonah 3:4-5 As Jonah enters the great city of Nineveh, he immediately proclaims the message that God had given to him. Consisting of only eight words, it was a message of doom and gloom. In response to that message, the next 40 days become a time of change for the whole city. What is it about the Ninevites – as well as about us today – that needs to change? What happens if we don’t change? What is the source of that change? Our text answers these questions and reminds us that God says, “It’s time for change!!!” From our text we observe that: 1. God demands that we change because of our sin. The book of Jonah reminds us that sin involves: Wandering from God. Living lives of wickedness. 2. Unless we change, we face a death sentence. This sentence: Is deserved. Determines our destiny. 3. Change is possible through a divinely-provided solution. God’s solution involves: The sending of a person. A set period of time. A specific proclamation. A spiritual profession.
