Steadfast Love: The Worm - Part 4

Series Title: Steadfast Love: A Story about Running Away 

Sermon Title: The Worm (4:1-11) 

Main Text: Jonah 4:7-9

Description: When God’s stunning display of mercy is given to people we think don't deserve it, how does our heart respond? In this final message of our Steadfast Love series, we walk through the closing chapter of Jonah. We find a prophet trapped in a prison of his own resentment, who turns toward anger when God turns away from judgment.

Through the striking imagery of a makeshift booth, a shade-bearing plant, a scorching wind, and a single earthworm, God uncovers the hidden, merciless depths of Jonah's heart. We are challenged to look at our own lives—to see where we might be building "booths" of entitlement and waiting for others to get what they deserve. Come discover how against the dark backdrop of bitter human pride, God's radiant grace, patience, and steadfast love shine all the brighter, calling us to finally see a broken world through His eyes of compassion.
