ONE SERMON. EIGHT WORDS. Over a hundred thousand people repented. There has never been another sermon in history with a response as widespread as the one Jonah preached to the city of Nineveh. In this study of Chapter 3, Dr. Toby Holt looks at the power of a simple message of repentance and what happens when an entire city actually listens to the Word of God.

Scripture Focus: Jonah 3:4-5 (NKJV)

"And Jonah began to enter the city on the first day’s walk. Then he cried out and said, 'Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!' So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them."

What We’re Learning Today:

• The Message: It wasn't a long sermon, but it was exactly what God commanded.
• The Response: True repentance involves the "greatest to the least."
• The Lesson: God’s Word does not return void, even in the most wicked places.
