Worship Service: Jonah 3 & 4 - The Village Chapel

The Prodigal Prophet Encounters God’s Lavish Mercy
The Minor Prophets: Jonah 3 & 4
The Village Chapel - 06/30/2024
What happens when a reluctant prophet delivers a word from the Lord to a group of people whom the prophet despises and wishes God would destroy instead of save? For that matter, how do we relate and respond towards those we regard as “Other?” How do we treat people who are deeply different than us? How would God have us treat those who we classify as “them” and not “us?” Join Pastor Matt as he leads us through the final two chapters of Jonah, and we hear from the Lord on these issues. (31:07)

(7:27) Call to Worship: Faithfulness of God
ALL: The word of the LORD is right and true; He is faithful in all He does.
MEN: Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the skies.
WOMEN: You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
MEN: The LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.
WOMEN: O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in Your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
MEN: The LORD is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made.
ALL: For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

(29:43) Confession of Faith: God Sent His Son, Jesus
Leader: Who is Jesus Christ?
People: Jesus Christ is the eternal Word and Son of God, the second Person of the Holy Trinity. He took on human nature to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world, the only Mediator between God and fallen humanity.
Leader: Why did God send his Son into the world?
People: For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Leader: Why did God give us his Son?
People: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

(17:17) Classic Prayer: Bernard of Clairvaux, 1090-1153
O Lord, come quickly and reign on your throne, for now often something rises up within me, and tries to take possession of your throne: pride, covetousness, uncleanness, and sloth want to be my kings, and then evil-speaking, anger, hatred, and the whole train of vices join with me in warring against myself, and try to reign over me. I resist them; I cry out against them, and say, "I have no other king than Christ." O King of peace, come and reign in me, for I will have no king but you!
