The Pouting Prophet

(Sermon preached June 15, 2025) This sermon uses Jonah's anger at God's mercy toward the Ninevites to challenge our instinct for vengeance and exclusion, asking whether we can accept a God whose grace extends even to those we most resent.  It invites listeners to engage a spiritual practice of naming their own "Ninevites" and praying to see them through the lens of divine compassion.  (Jonah 3:10-4:11)
