"Jonah's Views of God" (Jonah 3:10-4:4) - Rev. Mike Sparks

"Jonah's Views of God"

Scripture: Jonah 3:10 - 4:4

10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.

Jonah’s Anger at the Lord’s Compassion

4 But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry. 2 He prayed to the Lord, “Isn’t this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. 3 Now, Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.”

4 But the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?”

Sermon Notes

2. A good view of God creates a good view of life

"God Knows You" (Psalm 139:13-18)

"God Knows You"

Scripture: Psalm 139:13-18

13 For You formed my inward parts;

You covered me in my mother''s womb.

14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Marvelous are Your works,

And that my soul knows very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from You,

When I was made in secret,

And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.

And in Your book they all were written,

The days fashioned for me,

When as yet there were none of them.

17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!

How great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;

When I awake, I am still with You.

"God Is Everywhere" (Psalm 139:7-12)

"God Is Everywhere"

Scripture: Psalm 139:7-12

7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?

Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;

If I make my bed in [a]hell, behold, You are there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning,

And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,

And Your right hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness shall [b]fall on me,"

Even the night shall be light about me;

12 Indeed, the darkness [c]shall not hide from You,

But the night shines as the day;

The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
