Why Not Obey

SALVATION IS FROM THE LORD — JONAH SERIES #1
Elder Brian L Spivey, M.Div, Th.M.

The Scripture: Jonah 1:1–3
[1] Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the
son of Amittai, saying, [2] "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great
city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before
me." [3] But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the
presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a
ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down
into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence
of the LORD. (ESV)
