After the God shows mercy to Nineveh, Jonah declares it evil and becomes angry. We discuss Jesus’ teaching on anger and how following Him means ridding ourselves of it. Jonah 4:1-4. Matthew 5:21-22, 27-28. Ephesians 4:26-27, 30-31. James 1:19-20.
We discuss God’s soft spot for contrite, repentant hearts as Jonah gets a do-over and the brutally violent Ninevites turn to God. Jonah 3:1-10.
We discuss the topic of God’s sovereignty–His supreme power and authority–and what it means for us. Jonah 1:10-2:10.
While faith does require imagination, it cannot simply be imaginary. Faith is shown through lived obedience to God. Jonah 1:1-9.
We begin our series on the book of Jonah by discussing the thing everyone seems to know about the story: Jonah is swallowed by a big fish. Strange things happen in the Bible. What do we do with them? Jonah 1:17.
We take some time to be reminded just how beautiful the Gospel is. 2 Samuel 9:1-13.
