Episode Synopsis

Nearly everyone knows Jonah as “the guy swallowed by a fish,” but the real message of this ancient story is far deeper—and, perhaps, more unsettling. What happens when grace is given to people we can’t seem to love? What if God’s compassion extends to our enemies, and our call is not to curse but to bless, even those we’d rather condemn? This sermon invites us to reexamine our assumptions about who deserves forgiveness, about our posture toward those outside our circle, and, above all, about the radical mercy of God.
