Series Title: The Gospel According to Jonah
Series Summary: The story of Jonah invites us to consider the nature of God’s compassion and mercy to those who do not deserve it. It shows us that the Lord uses those we would least expect to declare his forgiveness. In this story, we see that the Lord breaks open the barriers and expectations we have about who deserves mercy. In this six-week series, we will consider how this story reveals to us the mercy of God and calls us to share that good news with others.

Passages: Jonah 3:1-10
Speaker: Omar Ortiz
When Jonah went to Nineveh, he preached that in 40 days the city would be overthrown. Instead, the people of Nineveh repented, and the Lord repented from his judgment. Did the Lord change his mind? In this sermon, we explore the tension between God’s decrees and the actions of human beings.
In the sermon, Omar refers to the following article by Richard Pratt, “Historical Contingencies and Biblical Prophecy."
