Our God persuasively invites!

1. with His people participating

God works IN and THROUGH us when we tell His good news!​

God reminds us how undeserving we are when we tell His good news!​

God reminds us how deep His compassion is when we tell His good news!

2. with a piercing message

Jonah’s message was God’s Word (Romans 10:17, Jonah 1:1, 3:1, 3)​

To be face-to-face with our sin is PAINFUL!​

How do you respond when confronted with sin?  Defensive?  Justified?  Dismissive?  Loved?​

Believe God (3:5), call out to Him (3:8), and turn from evil (3:8)!​

3. with a sober urgency

God is serious about His hatred for sin!​

God accepts (Jeremiah 18:7-8) and rejoices (Luke 15:7, 10) in repentance!​

Repentance must be a regular part of our lifestyle!  Don’t wait until disaster to repent!​
