In the final sermon of our series on the book of Jonah, we examine Jesus' own interpretation of the book ... and how He says it points to Him.
The God Who Exposes The Heart
Jonah is not ultimately a story about a rebellious prophet, a giant fish, or that great city Nineveh. In fact, although the book bears his name, Jonah isn't even the main character in the story - God is. And, as the main character, God appropriately has the last word in the book of Jonah. And that word is a word of grace: "Should I not pity Nineveh?"
The God Who Is Merciful
In Jonah 4:1-4, Jonah puts God's mercy on trial. Nineveh deserves judgment and wrath, but God has chosen to show them grace and mercy instead. How can God give grace to sinners without violating His own righteousness and justice?
The God Who Saves The Godless
Jonah 3:1-10. No audio is available for this sermon due to some technical difficulties in recording.
The God Who Reaches To The Depths
In Chapter 2, the prophet Jonah speaks a beautiful, poetic prayer from the belly of the great fish. Yet, as one commentator has noted: “For all its orthodoxy and beauty - this prayer reveals some of the great defects in Jonah’s character.”
The God Who Saves The Helpless
Part 3 of our series on the Book of Jonah. Looking at Jonah 1:11-17, and the God who is both Sovereign and Merciful.
The God Who Is Sovereign
The God Who Gives His Word
We Have Seen His Glory
The third sermon from our series "The Word Became Flesh" once again looks at John 1:14: And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
