Morning: The Running God

What happens when God shows mercy… and we don’t like it?As we continue in the book of Jonah, we come to a surprising and deeply challenging moment. Nineveh has repented. God has relented. But instead of rejoicing, Jonah is angry. In this message, we explore Jonah chapter 4 and uncover the tension between justice and mercy—not just in Jonah’s heart, but in ours too. This sermon invites us to reflect on how we respond when God’s compassion extends beyond our expectations. Are we aligned with God’s heart, or are we holding onto pride, prejudice, or a desire for control? Through Jonah’s story, we are reminded that God is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and abounding in love—and He invites us to reflect that same heart to others.
