Evening: The Running God

In this final message from our Jonah series, we explore Jonah chapter 4 and the surprising reaction of the prophet after Nineveh repents. Instead of rejoicing at God’s mercy, Jonah becomes angry — revealing the pride, bitterness, and despair that can grow in every human heart.  This sermon unpacks the danger of ungodly anger and the grace of God that continually pursues us, even when we run from Him. Through Jonah’s story, we’re challenged to examine our own hearts: where have we become bitter, judgmental, or resistant to God’s mercy toward others?Most importantly, this message points us to Jesus — the better Jonah — who stood outside the city not in judgment, but in sacrificial love, making a way for us to receive grace, forgiveness, and freedom.
