God loves people you'd rather write off. On Sunday, we dove into Jonah's anger in chapter 4—rooted both in a sense of injustice (that God would spare wicked Nineveh) and wounded pride (his prophecy of destruction didn't come true). Through the object lesson of a dying plant, God exposed how Jonah grieved a plant more than 120,000 people, revealing his lack of compassion. The sermon contrasts this with Jesus, who wept over Jerusalem out of love rather than anger, ultimately dying for the very people who rejected him. We'll ask ourselves: what needs to "die" in me so that others can live? Then close our time with the encouragement that God used deeply flawed Jonah to declare profound truths, meaning no one is too far gone for God to use. Text: Jonah 4:1-10
