JONAH: A Story of God's Persistent and Generous Mercy: Part 1b - "God's Mercy to Jonah" - Jonah 1:17-2:10

Sadly, due to technical difficulties, we have NO audio recording for the sermon today!  In lieu of that, here is the outline of the message:

Jonah: A Story of God’s Persistent and Generous Mercy

THE PERSISTENT AND GENEROUS MERCY OF GOD MADE HIM NOT GIVE UP ON JONAH.

·       God could have done it all alone.

·       God could have given up and raised up another prophet.

 THE PERSISTENT AND GENEROUS MERCY OF GOD LED HIM TO USE ALL MEANS TO BRING JONAH’S ATTENTION BACK.

·       God used the storm

·       God used the sailors

·       God used the big fish

 THE PERSISTENT AND GENEROUS MERCY OF GOD MADE HIM GIVE A SECOND CHANCE TO JONAH

·       God listened to Jonah’s prayer

·       God forgave Jonah

·       God restored Jonah

 The story of Jonah and God it is a great portrait of our story with God.

·       God never will give up on you because of his persistent and gracious mercy.

·       God will use all means to bring your attention to him, because of his persistent and gracious mercy.

·       God is ready to receive you and give a second chance, because of his persistent and gracious mercy.
