When God’s Mercy Offends | Jonah 1:1-4 | Pastor Bob Erbig

In the opening message of Jonah: Running From Mercy, Pastor Bob Erbig begins with Jonah 1:1-4 and challenges us to see Jonah not as a story about a big fish, but about a big God with a heart for the nations. As God sends Jonah to Nineveh, we see the word that sends, the prophet who runs, and the God who pursues with relentless mercy. This message calls us to examine our own Ninevehs, the people or places we resist, and our own Tarshishes, the places we run when God’s mercy offends us. Because salvation belongs to the Lord, may we stop running from God’s call and arise, go, and carry his mercy to the nations.
