Bringing Others In

Jonah seems to be a pretty poor prophet—he’s so reluctant to extend God’s mercy to those unworthy scoundrels in Nineveh. But, while Jonah is a poor prophet, he’s a good example of humanity, and even of God’s hesitant people, who are sometimes more exclusive than we would like to admit. Ephesians 2:11-22 has good news about us, it reminds us of what God has done for us—God brought us outsiders in! But this passage also suggests what we should be do in response; it’s one of those passages that describes the mission God has given BP Church. Let’s talk about it this Sunday.
