Episode Details

We think we know Jonah — the guy who got swallowed by a fish. But the real story starts after he gets spit back out. 

This week, we revisit the prophet who ran from God’s mercy (not God’s wrath), and we ask the question the book never quite lets us off the hook for: what do we do when grace lands on people we’ve already decided don’t deserve it?

Drawing on a little league umpire story, Hurricane Katrina-era rhetoric, and Jonah’s furious sulk under a dying bush, this sermon digs into what happens when our appetite for justice collides with God’s stubborn insistence on mercy — for Nineveh, for our enemies, and for us.
