The Sign of Jonah | From Creation to Christ | Nathan Bentley

Pastor Nathan discusses the fourth chapter of the book of Jonah, reflecting on the themes of repentance, self-righteousness, and God's compassion. Pastor Nathan draws parallels between Jonah's story and Jesus' teachings, highlighting how human desire for power and self-righteousness can obstruct our relationship with God. He encourages listeners to relinquish their false sources of power and truly submit to Jesus for transformation. The sermon wraps up with a call to view others through the compassionate eyes of Jesus and to allow God to cleanse and possess every aspect of our lives.
