E94 The sign of Jonah: Confronting the apathy of the age

What do you do when you've seen God move—maybe even experienced it yourself—and somehow, it's still not enough? You find yourself waiting for the next thing, the next sign, the next proof that God is really there. You're not alone. A crowd gathered around Jesus in Luke 11 had seen miracle after miracle. And their response was basically: "Okay, but what else you got?" Jesus' answer is one of the most challenging passages in the Gospels. He calls them a "wicked generation" and says the only sign they'll get is the sign of Jonah. But what does that mean? And what does it have to do with an ancient prophet, a pagan queen, and a city that repented without a single miracle? In this episode, we unpack: · Why asking for signs can actually reveal a heart problem · The two layers of the sign of Jonah—death/resurrection and prophetic proclamation · How the Queen of Sheba and the Ninevites will actually stand to condemn us · What it means that "something greater than Solomon" and "something greater than Jonah" is here · How to move from being a demanding consumer to a responsive disciple If you've ever felt bored with your faith, or found yourself waiting for God to prove Himself one more time, this episode is for you. Because something greater is already here.
