Jonah 4:1-11
Rev. Charlie Phillips
What would be your reaction if by your evangelism an entire people group came to faith? What if they repented in such a way that it blew your mind? How would you respond? I doubt many of you would respond like Jonah! The ending to the book of Jonah, while just as amazing as the rest of the book, is frustrating because of the way our hero prophet reacts to the mercy of God! But as we’ll see this Sunday, anyone of us can succumb to such an attitude.
Starting in August we’ll be jumping into a 6 sermon series on discipleship. We’ll discuss the call to discipleship, cost of discipleship, culmination of discipleship, cultivation of discipleship, catalyst for discipleship, and challenge to discipleship. This series will bring us back to the basics of Christianity while simultaneously pushing us deeper into our walk with Christ! It will speak directly to both the new believer as well as the seasoned! So bring a friend and come out!
After that we’ll begin a longer series on the book of James. James has been called the “proverbs of the New Testament”. Can you think of a time where the church has needed more wisdom!
