About this episode

This episode discusses God's mercy and the process of repentance as illustrated in Jonah 3:1-10.

Main Idea. God delights to relent when sinners repent. In three movements, God’s mercy toward sinners is on full display: 1. The Prophet Preaches (1–4) 2. The City Repents (5–9) 3. The Lord Relents (10) Takeaways about our God: The Lord is patient. (He gives second chances). The Lord is holy. (He confronts our sin). The Lord is merciful. (He saves sinners).
