The Old Testament Book of Jonah is not the story of a great fish.

It is the story of a great God.

In a world on the verge of judgment and desperate for a spiritual awakening,

it holds a message we all need. Salvation is of the Lord.

Join us in the book of Jonah today as we study God's Word with Scott Pauley.

I've been thinking a great deal recently about the miracles of Jesus.

I've studied through them.

At some point, I would love to teach and preach through every one of them.

They're amazing.

And today, we are looking at the miracles of God in the book of Jonah.

Did you know there is a divine connection between Jonah and Jesus?

That the same miracle working God who worked in the book of Jonah was the same miracle God at work in the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And if you'll stay with me to the end of today's study, you'll see this connection between Jonah and Jesus.

We're in Jonah chapter number two.

We've discovered a number of his miracles already.

First of all, there's the miracle of prayer.

It is, frankly, a miracle that God would hear and answer the prayers of sinful men.

Then we see the miracle of his providence that God was working even in the difficult, even in the hard circumstance to bring Jonah to where he needed to be. You see,

God always has a plan. God's always working his plan. Then we saw the miracle of God's pity,

his love, his mercy, his tenderness.

When Jonah got hard, God was still tender to him. When Jonah was frankly rebellious,

God was still soft towards Jonah and loving towards Jonah. And he demonstrates that pity throughout this passage and the way he deals with him and answers his prayer.
