An Even Better Message - Jonah

Matthew 12:38-42

In the Book of Jonah, we consistently see God’s message of mercy and grace. Yet, as an OT book in Jonah we’re not able to see this message in its fullness; these things foreshadow a greater message to come! That greater message is Jesus, and Jesus himself noted that the story of Jonah pointed forward to Him.

Changing Your Direction

Jonah

Jonah 3:1-10

Jonah wanted justice and judgment for Nineveh, but God desired mercy and grace. God wanted the lost people of Nineveh to find redemption.

You Can Run, But You Can't Hide - Jonah

Jonah 1:17, Chapter 2

In his distress and difficulty, Jonah cried out to God. When we find ourselves in spiritual distress and difficult circumstances, we need to surrender to God and seek His help humbly, transparently, and repentantly. When we do this, even though we do not deserve it, we will receive God’s mercy and grace.

Running from God (Jonah flees)

Jonah

2 Kings 14:25, Jonah Ch 1

Jonah disregarded God’s call and went his own way. We often choose our own agenda over God’s plan, yet amazingly, God still pursues us with mercy and grace even when we’re disobedient.

But I Have Nothing to Offer (Wrong!)

Job 2:11, James 1:19, 5:16, Romans 12:3-8, Acts 1:8

Pastor Matt Hoyt

We sometimes resist our call as “sent” people because we falsely believe that we have nothing to offer, when in reality, we have a lot to offer.

God Has a Mission For You!

We have a great God who has a mission to reach the people of this world and to care for them. The Bible itself is the story of God reaching out to humanity as He carries out that mission. When we come to faith, God calls us to be a part of His mission. Therefore, as people of faith, we are “sent” people. God sends us as part of His response to a broken and hurting world full of lost people who are far from Him.

1 Corinthians 7:17-24, Colossians 3:23

As “sent” people, God calls us to be a part of His mission by serving Him wherever we are and in whatever we do, on what some have called our “frontline.”
