A Better Story: It’s about Freedom
Rules come at us from many places. Some protect us while others restrict and diminish us. What do we do for the eyes of man, rather than for the love of, and submission to God?

Listen or watch back to our Pentecost Sunday joint service with St James’ congregation.
Self-centredness and self-entitlement are ugly things. Like Jonah, we can easily care more about our own comfort than the salvation of others. We need God to give us his heart for the world.

After the whole city of Nineveh repented, you would have thought Jonah would have been ecstatic – it was an incredibly successful street outreach!
However, his self-righteous prayer shows just how much he still had to learn about the mercy of God. We may be the means of God’s mission, but we must also heed the message for ourselves.
Despite our disobedience, God refuses to give up on us – his mission is far too important. Through Jonah, God used a message of judgement to change a whole city. As we are obedient to God’s missional call, we may well be surprised by how people respond.
