Jonah 4 – When We Take God for Granted | Rebellious Believer, Loving God

This week we close our Jonah series with chapter 4, where we see a believer still running from God—even after experiencing His mercy and watching thousands repent in Nineveh. Instead of rejoicing, Jonah is angry, bitter, and forgetful of the mercy God himself had received.

In this message, we’re reminded that when we forget God’s blessings, we become bitter and rebellious. But when we remember His mercy, we find peace, joy, and the ability to extend grace to others.

The story of Jonah isn’t here for us to judge him—it’s here for us to see ourselves. We’ve all run from God. We’ve all taken His mercy for granted. The question is: what will you do with the second (and third, and fourth) chances He gives you?

Key questions to reflect on from this series:

Do I have hate in my heart for anyone?

Is my prayer life changing me?

What am I doing with the second chances God has given me?

Am I purposely remembering what God has done for me?

Jonah’s story may not have an ending—but yours does. How will you finish it?
