The God Who Relents

What happens to a death sentence when the condemned actually repent? When Nineveh turned, God relented, and this sermon faces the question that raises head on: how can a God who never changes truly change His mind, and if the disaster was lifted, where did it finally go? The answer travels from a pagan city spared on the edge of ruin all the way to a hill outside Jerusalem, where the greater Jonah walked into the storm He could have watched from a safe seat, so that the mercy God shows the broken would prove to be not a passing mood but His unchanging character, a rock you can rest your whole eternity on.
