Spring Lake Church – Lawrence
Sermon: Jonah and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Mercy of God
Teacher: Jeff Lederer
Passages: Jonah 4:1-11

In “Jonah and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Mercy of God,” we explore Jonah 4:1–11 and the tension between God’s heart and our own. As Jonah wrestles with God’s compassion toward Nineveh, we are challenged to examine where we resent mercy, prioritize ourselves, or lose compassion for others. This powerful conclusion to Jonah reminds us that God’s mercy is greater than our preferences and extends to all people.

Bill sits down with Adam Jackson and Jack Guerra to talk through Jonah 2–3 in week 2 of Jonah: Deep & Wide Mercy.

They discuss Jonah’s messy path back to obedience, the surprising response of Nineveh, and the strange mercy of God in the fish. What looks like punishment in the Sunday school version may actually be rescue: the sea is the disaster, and the fish is God’s saving grace.

The conversation also gets into Jonah’s second call, his five-word sermon, and the reminder that God can work through our weak and even half-hearted obedience. His mercy is bigger than Jonah’s heart, Nineveh’s sin, and our first failed attempt to obey.

Ryan Groshek sits down with Jeff Pittman and Adam Jackson to dig deeper into Jonah 1 and the message "You Can Run, but You Can't Hide." Together, they talk about how to read Jonah faithfully, why the story is about much more than a big fish, and how the book reveals God's grace toward people Jonah would rather avoid.

The conversation explores Jonah's resistance, the surprising faith of the sailors, God's compassion for enemies, and the way sin can send us running even when we know what God has said. The episode closes with a practical invitation: when you recognize you have been running from God, it is never too late to repent and take the next step of obedience.
