Jonah: the Mercy of a Big Fish
Sermon Title: Mercy, Multiplied: The God of Second Chances
Scripture: Jonah 3:1
Summary:
This message explores the surprising and multi-layered mercy of God revealed in the book of Jonah. From the rebellious prophet to the wicked city of Nineveh, we see a God who doesn’t give up—who brings His word a second time, and whose mercy reaches deeper than our failures. Even Jonah’s detour in the belly of a fish becomes part of God’s redemptive plan, not just for him but for an entire city. When God gives second chances, they come with purpose, power, and grace. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve run too far or failed too deeply, this sermon is a reminder: God’s mercy is still pursuing you.a
