Alan P. Neely was Professor of Missiology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. The service begins with a welcome and a call to worship (0:00-0:59). There is a moment of prayer (1:00-1:52). There is a Scripture reading from Jonah 3-4 (1:53-4:20). Neely speaks about a family reading Scripture from Jonah to introduce his presentation (4:21-5:40). Neely states that Americans have a fascination with the whale in the story, but that there is much more to the book (5:41-7:24). Neely provides an overview of the book of Jonah (7:25-12:43). Neely shares that Jonah was unique in his desire for the people with whom he had shared the good news to be destroyed (12:44-17:16). Neely shares that God's purpose in history is not to destroy, but to save the nations (17:17-20:25). Neely closes the service in a moment of prayer (20:26-21:16).
