Saving Nineveh
by Rev. Derek P. Elphick
Type of Event: Worship Service: Sermon only
Date Recorded: 12 Nov, 2023
Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral
Topics:
The book of Jonah is about the spiritual welfare of the great city, Nineveh. Will Jonah be convinced that Nineveh is worth saving or will he just sit outside the city and sulk? Why was Jonah so reluctant to go to Nineveh in the first place? And why, after the people of Nineveh demonstrated a willingness to repent, was Jonah still angry? What does “Nineveh” represent in our lives? There are times when we deem certain situations or circumstances irredeemable, not worth saving, but then the Lord presses us to reconsider, saying, “should I not pity Nineveh, that great city?” (Jonah 4:11).
