The sermon examines Jonah chapter three to highlight the universal scope of God's mercy and the necessity of repentance for all people, including those deemed enemies.

The apostle Paul insists that regular prayer must be offered up for God's preaching servants so that by the power of the Holy Spirit, they may boldly make known the mystery of the gospel. I want to show you why this is necessary. 1st of all – It is necessary because utterance doesn't come to preachers automatically. 2nd – Because true holy boldness is the work of God's Spirit. And 3rd – Because the gospel has mysteries attached to it.
