Lectio Continua: Jonah 3 & 4 - An Effectual Call

Based on Jonah chapters 3 and 4, this sermon examines the "deathlike experience" of Jonah as a type of Christ and the anticipation of the gospel reaching the ends of the earth. Pastor Chris Gordon delves into the startling moment when the people of Nineveh believed God at the preaching of Jonah, leading to a city-wide fast and a display of genuine repentance that caused God to relent from disaster.
