Jonah’s Sacrifice
Fear?
True goodness?
Die & get it over with?

God’s grand Redemption Plan
Love others God’s way
Greater than Jonah

Take Aways
Have you come to see yourself as sinner who needs to forgiven and saved?
Do you live your life to serve others, as Jesus did, or are you waiting for others to serve you?
Based on God’s love and mercy to you, do you have compassion for the lost and are you willing to share the Gospel with them?
