It's all about God!
Lessons about God, not Jonah
How God deals with people

Ch 1:
1. The God who speaks
   - sailors' gods didn't speak (v.4)
   - His word is for all people
   - you can't escape or hide from God (who speaks)
2. The God who is in control
   - important in today's world
   - God is ruler over all nations, even enemies
3. The God who deals with individuals
   - Jonah's relationship with God was important to God - God could've chosen someone who would've done it first time
   - as a result, Jonah can walk closer with God
   Ch 2:
4. God right to discipline us
   - because He loves us
5. Our need of God's forgiveness
   - God had provided fish before Jonah asked for it, perhaps (1:17)
   - He provides means of salvation
6. God's grace in saving us
   - undeserved love
