The Scandal of Grace and the Karma Trap

We naturally want a world of karma—where the wicked get what's theirs. Jonah 4 uproots the sin under this religious belief. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller explores why the scandal of grace is our only hope in a world that demands karma. Discover why a prophet's standing ovation turned into an angry outburst.
