I feel excited. I’m getting ready for church to start, and the sermon will be on Jonah 4. Our pastor goes through one OT book, then one NT, and walks us through the entire book.

I have heard sermons on Jonah before. They all boil it down to, “God said go. Jonah said no. Hehehehe, isn’t that clever, I made a rhyme!” They get as far as the fish coughs him up, and he goes anyway. Lesson, never disobey God! Sometimes they get to Nineveh repenting, God sparing them, and Jonah being ticked off about that.

But I have never in my years heard a sermon on the plant and the worm.

Here goes.

Yes, that is one of the values of preaching through whole books of the bible, rather than just picking out a text verses here and there.
