Jonah: Tested By God

Idea: God tests His children for their good. When tested, draw near to Jesus so as to find mercy and grace to help in time of need.

1. God's First Test – Allowing Jonah to run.
2. God's Second Test – "Arresting" Jonah
3. Three Applications
   a. God doesn't test you just for fun, or just for his amusement
   b. God doesn't discard you when you fail.
   c. God does test you for your good, like gold refined in a fire.

Conc. When tested, draw near to Jesus so as to find mercy and grace to help in time of need.
