Economy of Mercy
Faithful God • Week 1
Many would say they know the story of Jonah quite well. But we often miss the second half of the story where we see Jonah frustrated that God showed mercy to the people of Nineveh. Daniel Bunn opens our series, Faithful God, by using this story to remind us that God's faithfulness is independent of our desires.

Jonah 4:1-3 NIV
But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry. He prayed to the Lord, “Isn’t this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. Now, Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
