The Extents of God's Grace

God's grace reaches further than we expect, but it does not stretch on forever. Through the reluctant prophet Jonah and the sobering prophecy of Nahum, these two sermons trace the full arc of God's mercy and judgement across two generations of Nineveh's history. We see a God who pursues rebels, shows mercy to enemies, and foreshadows the death and resurrection of Christ in the most unlikely places. But we also meet the Jesus who comes as Judge and Warrior, whose patience with sin will not last indefinitely. Taken together, Jonah and Nahum are a call to receive grace while it is still being offered, and to live with the urgency of those who know the day is coming.
