Sovereign Grace Bible Church

The sermon centers on the prophetic call of Jonah to confront Nineveh's wickedness, emphasizing God's universal sovereignty and the accountability of all nations, even those without the Mosaic Law, due to the moral law written in their hearts. It highlights Jonah's disobedience in fleeing from God's presence, his subsequent storm-induced confrontation with divine authority, and the ironic reversal where pagan sailors—despite their polytheistic background—demonstrate greater moral sensitivity and reverence for Yahweh than Jonah himself. The narrative underscores the sovereignty of God over creation, the futility of fleeing divine purpose, and the contrast between the sailors' growing fear of Yahweh and Jonah's unresolved rebellion, culminating in his miraculous preservation in the great fish as a prelude to a deeper spiritual reckoning yet to unfold.
