Fusion: week of 10/27

FAMILY THEME: GOD SHOWS COMPASSION

Jonah 4:1-11

God generously pours out His grace and mercy toward all who 

repent and believe. Jonah, however, showed us not everyone

is always happy about that.

1.  God Cares About Those Whom We Would Consider to be

     Worthy of Judgment

     (Jonah 4:1-3)

     God is gracious and merciful and desires that all sinners

     repent and be saved.

 
2.  God Wants to Teach Us Compassion for the Lost

     (Jonah 4:4-10)

     We should care far more about lost people than our

     own comfort.

     

3.  God Has Compassion for the Lost Because They

     Are Spiritually Ignorant and Deceived

     (Jonah 4:11)

     God wanted Jonah to see the Ninevites the way

     He saw them, as helpless and ignorant of the truth.
