Sermon: Jonah the Faithful Servant Apr.22, 2007 What is the Book of Jonah about?

Gomer She stands outside in the cool, refreshing rain, allowing it to run in rivulets across her cheeks and down her lips. She is like the lily of the valley that spreads its fragrance across the fields or like the lush, abundant grapes that make men glad. Fertility and fruitfulness, celebration and wild abandon—these are the forces that rise and surge within her. Young, beautiful, and bold, she is always smiling, flashing her big, dark eyes, attracting inevitable attention. God knows how easy it would be to entice her admirers into showering her with gifts of silver and gold. She is determined to squeeze every ounce of sweetness from life. Suddenly she notices a man hurrying toward her. It is not desire that propels him but pain. “Gomer,” he says, “come home!” And so she does, but reluctantly. Her husband Hosea is a good man, but goodness can be tiresome. He talks only of God and of faithfulness to the covenant, dampening her high spirits and making her feel ashamed of

We continue our series looking at the big picture of the whole Bible. Having seen the pattern of the Kingdom established in Genesis 1 & 2. And the Kingdom perish due to sin in Genesis 3. We then saw God's grace in action as he promises to restore the kingdom through Abraham and his descendants. Next up we spent two weeks looking at how God's kingdom is partially realised through the people of God in the Old Testament. Today we see how the Old Testament finishes looking forward to a time when God will establish his kingdom in Jesus. Thanks again to Vaughan Roberts and his book God's Big Picture.

Jesus loves us even when we are unfaithful
