Despising God's Grace

Written By Olivia Zurawski

< BACK TO ALL

Jonah 4:1-11 | God is so gracious. He has lavished his grace on us, and we like that. Sometimes, though, he lavishes his grace on people who have hurt us, we are struggling to forgive, or frankly we just don't think deserve to be treated very graciously by God. As God poured his grace on Nineveh, Jonah got angry.  Jonah's heart struggled with the grace poured out on such wicked people. As we look at Jonah 4 this week, we will see that God's grace extended to those we find hard to love can either harden or soften our hearts. Jonah's heart is hardened, we want our hearts to be softened...God's word can show us how.

Jonah 3:1-10 | The book of Jonah is a powerful account of the pursuing, restoring grace of God. From beginning to end, we see God's grace at work to pursue the hearts of those far from him or those running from him. In Jonah 3, we will watch revival sweep over the city of Nineveh, and from this will see four realities of revival. These four realities will prepare us for a revival in our own heart, posture us to be ready for revival, and will lead us to pray for revival.

Jonah 2 | The book of Jonah has four clear parts:

1) A Runaway

2) A Recommissioning

3) A Revival

4) A Response & A Reproof.

All of these parts announce to us the deep grace of a good God. This week we look at God's grace to recommission Jonah a second time to what he got wrong the first time. Our God gives a do-over here. He gives a second chance. We will see what the road to a recommissioning looks like and the grace of our God who extends a second chance to get right what we at one time got wrong.

Jonah 1 | Did you ever run away from home as a kid? Why? What was going on that prompted that? As we begin the book of Jonah we begin with a runaway story, God says go East and do this, and Jonah instead heads West to avoid that. Jonah chapter 1 will show us three words that describe the hard path of someone running from God, and yet we will also see a beautiful display of the grace of God that runs hard after those running from him.
