Living Hope with Philip Miller - Why Your Goodness is a False Hope

Grace demands we bring nothing to the table —and that isn't easy for us. Jonah 4 reveals the danger of a heart that chooses religious pride over mercy. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller exposes the danger of believing God is on our side simply because we're "good." See why God appointed a single worm to dismantle the comfort of a prophet's false hope. This is part two of the sermon, "The Scandal Of Grace."
