1. Foreword: Nineveh Lent
There were no sacrifices offered to God, that we read of, to make atonement for
sin, but the sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite
heart, such as the Ninevites now had, is what he will not despise; it is what he
will give countenance to and put honour upon....

A Terrible Love of Hatred
The hard truth is that we share the terrible love of hatred that kept Jonah from
rejoicing in the miracle of repentance and restoration wherever it happened. In
fact, in the Christian faith, we have a place for the people we love to hate-we
call it hell. And there are certain people we love to hate so much that
we're all too happy for them to literally go to hell! ...

Jonah's Mission
The message of the story tells of the great mercy and love of God for everyone
and the possibility of redemption.
Is our faith narrow like that of Jonah or can we see others through God's eyes?

Sermon Illustration: Jonah
It is one of the rare instances in the Old Testament of God's wry sense of

Jesus vs Jonah
Jesus was sent to preach repentance; Jonah also was sent: but

Seeing Our Sin Through Transfigured Christ
Examining our conscience - what we have done and what we have failed to do - we
climb the interior mountain to that spot from which we look down on our lives.
Ascending this mountain in prayer (cf. Matthew 17:1) we encounter the Lord,
saying to him, "My heart has prompted me to seek your face; I seek it, Lord: do
not hide from me" (Psalm 26:8-9). ...

Love in the Ruins of Mosul
There's definitely a sense in the Western church that we've really fallen
short of what it means to be Christ-followers. We see what God is doing in
other parts of the world and we're left wondering why and how we've lost
that first love - ISIS continues to murder people because they've never
experienced a love like this. ...

ISIS Destroy The Tomb Of The Prophet Jonah
In just one day, ISIL members committed a series of horrific crimes which
illustrate their hostile nature, said Iraqi police in Ninawa spokesman Maj.
Ahmed al-Obaidi.
"They torched 11 churches and monasteries out of 35 scattered across the city of
Mosul, and hours later destroyed statues of poets, literary and historical
figures of which Mosul has long been proud," he said. ...

Jewish Heartbreak and Hope in Nineveh
I am writing to you from Nineveh, the city of the prophet Jonah. Its present
name is Mosul. I have had the privilege of seeing its ancient walls, of touching
its stones, of going to the grave Islamic tradition says is the prophet Jonah's.
There is a mosque at the site; but hundreds of years ago, the Iraqis we work
with tell me, it was a synagogue. They tell me the reason the site is so sacred
is because of the sacredness in which the Jews held it. Presently, there are no
signs of this ancient synagogue. ...
