Examine the following six alternative introductions to a sermon on JONAH and be prepared to evaluate them.
## Sermon Introduction 1
I am delighted to stand before such a distinguished audience. I consider it a rare privilege
"I am delighted to stand before such a distinguished audience. I consider it a rare privilege to speak to such an outstanding group. My message tonight concerns the prophet Jonah. Now some people do not believe the story of Jonah. They say that a whale is incapable of swallowing a man. So far as I'm concerned, since it is in the Bible I'd believe it even if we read that Jonah swallowed the whale..."
## Sermon Introduction 2
"Our chairman seems to have been intoxicated by the exuberance of his own verbosity. I see, how-ever, that I do have about twenty minutes left. Let us turn to the book of Jonah. Notice how the book begins: "Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah.' That is a very interesting statement. It tells us that God spoke to Jonah..."
## Sermon Introduction 3
"I appreciate being here to speak to you tonight. I must say I feel very inadequate when I see Dr. Logan in the audience. You will also have to forgive me for not having the ready flow of eloquence for which your regular speaker is so well known. Now let us turn to the book of Jonah. I make no apology for reading the whole book. The chapters are short and, after all, it is God's Word and what God says will be much more significant than anything I can say...."
## Sermon Introduction 4
"Jonah's name means 'dove' but he seems to have been more of a hawk than a dove. He passionately craved the overthrow of Nineveh. He cared nothing for the fact that the destruction of that great city would mean the death of thousands of little children..."
## Sermon Introduction 5
## Sermon Introduction 6
"Jonah is the only prophet to whom the Lord Jesus directly likened Himself. He came from Gath-hepher, a town on the boundary line of Zebulun, just three miles north-east of Nazareth where our Lord was brought up: When Nicodemus spoke up for the Lord before the Sanhedrin, his colleagues contemptuously said: 'Art thou also a Galilean? Search and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.' They had forgotten Jonah. ..."
## Sermon Introduction 6
"A whale is the largest animal that has ever lived on the earth, vet its throat is so small that it will choke on a herring. Therefore Jonah was not swallowed by the whale as the Bible says. So argues the agnostic. But just a moment! The sperm whale could certainly swallow a man. When mortally wounded the sperm whale has been known to disgorge chunks of cuttlefish six feet long by four feet wide, and an eighteen foot skeleton of a shark was found in the stomach of one on another occasion. Then there is the famous case of James Bartley who was actually swallowed by a whale and who lived to tell the story..."
