The Worship Center
From Chaos to Calm | Jonah | Pastor Todd Turnbow
Welcome to The Worship Center! We want you to feel at home and welcome here. Our hope is that you feel the love God has for you in a very real way. There should be some connection cards in the chairs in front or around you and we would love to connect with you! If you are a first time guest, you can fill one of those out and return it to Guest Services for a gift or drop it in the offering bucket as it comes around. We hope you enjoy the service and have a wonderful day!

When they repented, God relented
Jonah 4:1-2
"But 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's why I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish."

I like when you apply your grace to me, but I don't like when you apply it to them.
Jonah 4:1-2
"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's better for me to die than to live."

It's possible to do the will of God without the heart of God.

It's possible to claim God yet live with your back to him.
The good news is all you got to do is turn. All you got to do is turn because we serve a gracious and a compassionate God.
Wayisma and it means rejoice greatly or it means exceedingly overjoyed.
Because God eased his discomfort.
Jonah 4:7-8
"But at dawn the next day, God provided a worm, which chewed up the plant so that it withered." When the sun rose, God provided a scorching, east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah's head so that he grew faint. Jonah again wanted to die and said, 'It would've been better for me to die than to live.'"
