Rejoicing in the Compassionate Grace of God

September 3, 2023 Speaker: John Ferguson Series: Jonah: Grace Runs Deep

Scripture: Jonah 4:1–11

09.03.23 Jonah 4 Sermon Graphic

In this week's study of the final chapter of Jonah, we see Jonah furious that God has shown compassion to the enemies of his people. 

And at the same time, we see God patiently seeking to calm the storm raging in the heart of his prophet. 

This final chapter challenges us to view God's grace as available not only for people like us, but even for the most unlikely of recipients. 

As Jesus said, "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you...."

The One who is greater than Jonah shows us (and demonstrates) a better way of being human.
