¿Es posible una segunda oportunidad? || Jonás 3:1-10
==========

‭‭Jonás‬ ‭3:1-10‬‬
Vino palabra de Jehová por segunda vez a Jonás, diciendo: Levántate y ve a Nínive, aquella gran ciudad, y proclama en ella el mensaje que yo te diré. Y se levantó Jonás, y fue a Nínive conforme a la palabra de Jehová. Y era Nínive ciudad grande en extremo, de tres días de camino. Y comenzó Jonás a entrar por la ciudad, camino de un día, y predicaba diciendo: De aquí a cuarenta días Nínive será destruida. Y los hombres de Nínive creyeron a Dios, y proclamaron ayuno, y se vistieron de cilicio desde el mayor hasta el menor de ellos. Y llegó la noticia hasta el rey de Nínive, y se levantó de su silla, se despojó de su vestido, y se cubrió de cilicio y se sentó sobre ceniza. E hizo proclamar y anunciar en Nínive, por mandato del rey y de sus grandes, diciendo: Hombres y animales, bueyes y ovejas, no gusten cosa alguna; no se les dé alimento, ni beban agua; sino cúbranse de cilicio hombres y animales, y clamen a Dios fuertemente; y conviértase cada uno de su mal camino, de la rapiña que hay en sus manos. ¿Quién sabe si se volverá y se arrepentirá Dios, y se apartará del ardor de su ira, y no pereceremos? Y vio Dios lo que hicieron, que se convirtieron de su mal camino; y se arrepintió del mal que había dicho que les haría, y no lo hizo.

1. La Oportunidad
“Vino palabra del Señor por segunda vez a Jonás” (Jonás 3.1)

2. La Obediencia
"Y Jonás se levantó y fue a Ninive conforme a la Palabra del Señor" (Jonás 3.2)

"There's No Way!"
Jonah 3:1-10

‭‭Jonah‬ ‭3:1-10‬‬
The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: “Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach the message that I tell you.” Jonah got up and went to Nineveh according to the Lord’s command. Now Nineveh was an extremely great city, a three-day walk. Jonah set out on the first day of his walk in the city and proclaimed, “In forty days Nineveh will be demolished!” Then the people of Nineveh believed God. They proclaimed a fast and dressed in sackcloth — from the greatest of them to the least. When word reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. Then he issued a decree in Nineveh: By order of the king and his nobles: No person or animal, herd or flock, is to taste anything at all. They must not eat or drink water. Furthermore, both people and animals must be covered with sackcloth, and everyone must call out earnestly to God. Each must turn from his evil ways and from his wrongdoing. Who knows? God may turn and relent; he may turn from his burning anger so that we will not perish. God saw their actions — that they had turned from their evil ways  — so God relented from the disaster he had threatened them with. And he did not do it.

A Difficult Declaration
v.4

A Remarkable Repentance
v.5-9

A Tremendous Turnaround
v.10

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭18:7-8‬‬
At one moment I might announce concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will uproot, tear down, and destroy it. However, if that nation about which I have made the announcement turns from its evil, I will relent concerning the disaster I had planned to do to it.

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭18:11-12‬‬
So now, say to the men of Judah and to the residents of Jerusalem, ‘This is what the Lord says: Look, I am about to bring harm to you and make plans against you. Turn now, each from your evil way, and correct your ways and your deeds.’ But they will say, ‘It’s hopeless. We will continue to follow our plans, and each of us will continue to act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.’”

El Jonás que todos llevamos dentro || Jonás 2
==========

‭‭Jonás‬ ‭2:1-10‬‬
Entonces oró Jonás a Jehová su Dios desde el vientre del pez, y dijo: Invoqué en mi angustia a Jehová, y él me oyó; Desde el seno del Seol clamé, Y mi voz oíste. Me echaste a lo profundo, en medio de los mares, Y me rodeó la corriente; Todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí. Entonces dije: Desechado soy de delante de tus ojos; Mas aún veré tu santo templo. Las aguas me rodearon hasta el alma, Rodeome el abismo; El alga se enredó a mi cabeza. Descendí a los cimientos de los montes; La tierra echó sus cerrojos sobre mí para siempre; Mas tú sacaste mi vida de la sepultura, oh Jehová Dios mío. Cuando mi alma desfallecía en mí, me acordé de Jehová, Y mi oración llegó hasta ti en tu santo templo. Los que siguen vanidades ilusorias, Su misericordia abandonan. Mas yo con voz de alabanza te ofreceré sacrificios; Pagaré lo que prometí. La salvación es de Jehová. Y mandó Jehová al pez, y vomitó a Jonás en tierra.

1. El Confinamiento de Jonás.
a. Un lugar aterrador para estar.
b. Un lugar agradable para aprender.

2. La Comunión de Jonás.
a. Recordó la palabra de Dios.
b. Se rindió a la palabra de Dios

3. La Confesión de Jonás.
a. Reconoce su llamado.
b. Renueva su compromiso

"Second Chances"
Jonah 2:10 - 3:10

‭‭Jonah‬ ‭2:1-2, 7-10‬‬
Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish: I called to the Lord in my distress, and he answered me. I cried out for help from deep inside Sheol; you heard my voice. As my life was fading away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, to your holy temple. Those who cherish worthless idols abandon their faithful love, but as for me, I will sacrifice to you with a voice of thanksgiving. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the Lord. Then the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

‭‭Jonah‬ ‭3:1-10‬‬
The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: “Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach the message that I tell you.” Jonah got up and went to Nineveh according to the Lord’s command. Now Nineveh was an extremely great city, a three-day walk. Jonah set out on the first day of his walk in the city and proclaimed, “In forty days Nineveh will be demolished!” Then the people of Nineveh believed God. They proclaimed a fast and dressed in sackcloth — from the greatest of them to the least. When word reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. Then he issued a decree in Nineveh: By order of the king and his nobles: No person or animal, herd or flock, is to taste anything at all. They must not eat or drink water. Furthermore, both people and animals must be covered with sackcloth, and everyone must call out earnestly to God. Each must turn from his evil ways and from his wrongdoing. Who knows? God may turn and relent; he may turn from his burning anger so that we will not perish. God saw their actions — that they had turned from their evil ways  — so God relented from the disaster he had threatened them with. And he did not do it.

1. God Gives Second Chances
(3:1-2)

2. God Requires Repentance
(2:9, 3:8)

Repentance is CONVICTION that leads to CONFESSION that results in a CHANGE in your actions.

We focus more on our guilt than on our sin.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32:3-5‬‬
When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was drained as in the summer’s heat.Selah Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not conceal my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the guilt of my sin.Selah

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭51:17‬‬
The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit. You will not despise a broken and humbled heart, God.

God’s not looking for your apology, He’s looking for your repentance.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭2:4‬‬
Or do you despise the riches of his kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?

3. God Gives Forgiveness and Mercy
(3:10)

‭‭Jonah‬ ‭3:10‬‬
God saw their actions — that they had turned from their evil ways  — so God relented from the disaster he had threatened them with. And he did not do it.

God is not looking for your apology, He’s looking for your repentance.

Puedes correr pero no puedes esconderte || Jonás 1
==========

‭‭Jonás‬ ‭1:1-17‬‬
Vino palabra de Jehová a Jonás hijo de Amitai, diciendo: Levántate y ve a Nínive, aquella gran ciudad, y pregona contra ella; porque ha subido su maldad delante de mí. Y Jonás se levantó para huir de la presencia de Jehová a Tarsis, y descendió a Jope, y halló una nave que partía para Tarsis; y pagando su pasaje, entró en ella para irse con ellos a Tarsis, lejos de la presencia de Jehová. Pero Jehová hizo levantar un gran viento en el mar, y hubo en el mar una tempestad tan grande que se pensó que se partiría la nave. Y los marineros tuvieron miedo, y cada uno clamaba a su dios; y echaron al mar los enseres que había en la nave, para descargarla de ellos. Pero Jonás había bajado al interior de la nave, y se había echado a dormir. Y el patrón de la nave se le acercó y le dijo: ¿Qué tienes, dormilón? Levántate, y clama a tu Dios; quizá él tendrá compasión de nosotros, y no pereceremos. Y dijeron cada uno a su compañero: Venid y echemos suertes, para que sepamos por causa de quién nos ha venido este mal. Y echaron suertes, y la suerte cayó sobre Jonás. Entonces le dijeron ellos: Decláranos ahora por qué nos ha venido este mal. ¿Qué oficio tienes, y de dónde vienes? ¿Cuál es tu tierra, y de qué pueblo eres? Y él les respondió: Soy hebreo, y temo a Jehová, Dios de los cielos, que hizo el mar y la tierra. Y aquellos hombres temieron sobremanera, y le dijeron: ¿Por qué has hecho esto? Porque ellos sabían que huía de la presencia de Jehová, pues él se lo había declarado. Y le dijeron: ¿Qué haremos contigo para que el mar se nos aquiete? Porque el mar se iba embraveciendo más y más. Él les respondió: Tomadme y echadme al mar, y el mar se os aquietará; porque yo sé que por mi causa ha venido esta gran tempestad sobre vosotros. Y aquellos hombres trabajaron para hacer volver la nave a tierra; mas no pudieron, porque el mar se iba embraveciendo más y más contra ellos. Entonces clamaron a Jehová y dijeron: Te rogamos ahora, Jehová, que no perezcamos nosotros por la vida de este hombre, ni pongas sobre nosotros la sangre inocente; porque tú, Jehová, has hecho como has querido. Y tomaron a Jonás, y lo echaron al mar; y el mar se aquietó de su furor. Y temieron aquellos hombres a Jehová con gran temor, y ofrecieron sacrificio a Jehová, e hicieron votos. Pero Jehová tenía preparado un gran pez que tragase a Jonás; y estuvo Jonás en el vientre del pez tres días y tres noches.

Jonás corrió:
a. Recibió la palabra de Dios.
b. Resistió la palabra de Dios.

Dios salvó:
a. Dios desató un fuerte viento.
b. Dios puso un gran pez.

"What's Your Assignment?"
Jonah 1:1-17

‭‭Jonah‬ ‭1:1-17‬‬
The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: “Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it because their evil has come up before me.” Jonah got up to flee to Tarshish from the Lord’s presence. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. He paid the fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish from the Lord’s presence. But the Lord threw a great wind onto the sea, and such a great storm arose on the sea that the ship threatened to break apart. The sailors were afraid, and each cried out to his god. They threw the ship’s cargo into the sea to lighten the load. Meanwhile, Jonah had gone down to the lowest part of the vessel and had stretched out and fallen into a deep sleep. The captain approached him and said, “What are you doing sound asleep? Get up! Call to your god. Maybe this god will consider us, and we won’t perish.” “Come on!” the sailors said to each other. “Let’s cast lots. Then we’ll know who is to blame for this trouble we’re in.” So they cast lots, and the lot singled out Jonah. Then they said to him, “Tell us who is to blame for this trouble we’re in. What is your business, and where are you from? What is your country, and what people are you from?” He answered them, “I’m a Hebrew. I worship the Lord, the God of the heavens, who made the sea and the dry land.” Then the men were seized by a great fear and said to him, “What have you done?” The men knew he was fleeing from the Lord’s presence because he had told them. So they said to him, “What should we do to you so that the sea will calm down for us?” For the sea was getting worse and worse. He answered them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea so that it will calm down for you, for I know that I’m to blame for this great storm that is against you.” Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they couldn’t because the sea was raging against them more and more. So they called out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, don’t let us perish because of this man’s life, and don’t charge us with innocent blood! For you, Lord, have done just as you pleased.” Then they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped its raging. The men were seized by great fear of the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows. The Lord appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

1. We've been given an assignment from God
1:1-2

2. We get too comfortable in our disobedience
1:4-6

There will always be a ship ready to take you away from God's plan.

3. We can choose to obey

"Freedom From Your Addiction"
Romans 7:14-25

Hebrews 2:18 -- Because He himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.

Hebrews 4:15 -- For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have One who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet He did not sin.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭7:14-25‬‬
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold as a slave under sin. For I do not understand what I am doing, because I do not practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate. Now if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good. So now I am no longer the one doing it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For the desire to do what is good is with me, but there is no ability to do it. For I do not do the good that I want to do, but I practice the evil that I do not want to do. Now if I do what I do not want, I am no longer the one that does it, but it is the sin that lives in me. So I discover this law: When I want to do what is good, evil is present with me. For in my inner self I delight in God’s law, but I see a different law in the parts of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself am serving the law of God, but with my flesh, the law of sin.

2 Peter 2:19 - People are slaves to whatever has mastered them.

What Is Your Addiction?

‭‭Romans‬ ‭7:15‬‬
For I do not understand what I am doing, because I do not practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate.

How Does Addiction Impact Your Life?

- You Lose Sight of What is Happening (v.19)

- You Lose Your Will to Fight (v.18)

- You Lose What is Important (v.24)

How Can You Be Rescued From Addiction?
1. Get Honest with God and Others (v.19)

‭‭1 John‬ ‭1:9‬‬
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

‭‭James‬ ‭5:16‬‬
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.

How Can You Be Rescued From Addiction?
2. Rely on God's Power (8:2-3)

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:2-3‬‬
because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do since it was weakened by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh as a sin offering,

How Can You Be Rescued From Addiction?
3. Change Your Mindset (8:5-6)

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:5-6‬‬
For those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their minds set on the things of the Spirit. Now the mindset of the flesh is death, but the mindset of the Spirit is life and peace.

Memorize God's Word

Hebrews 4:12 - (God's Word) is able to judge the ideas and thoughts of the heart.

Scripture is poison to your addiction!

Study God's Word with God's People

Obey God's Voice... Immediately!

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:16‬‬
I say, then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:1-11‬‬
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do since it was weakened by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh as a sin offering, in order that the law’s requirement would be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their minds set on the things of the Spirit. Now the mindset of the flesh is death, but the mindset of the Spirit is life and peace. The mindset of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit to God’s law. Indeed, it is unable to do so. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him. Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then he who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through his Spirit who lives in you.
