November 4, 2012 "Righteous Repriimands - That's Not Right Part VI" Pastor Howard-John Wesley

8 AM Sermon Only Title: That's Not Right Scripture: Jonah 4: 1-11 Jonah is a lesson in disobedience. Jonah preaches at Nineveh telling them that the city would be destroyed in 40 days because of their evil ways. Afterwards Jonah goes outside the city to watch the destruction in the extreme heat. God instructs a plant to grow to protect Jonah then has worms eat it. Meanwhile, the King orders everyone to pray and wear sack cloth. God accepted their repentance and didn't destroy the city. God reprimanded Jonah because he had a bad attitude three (3) times: 1) tried to limit God's grace; 2) had anger issues with God; and 3) upset that the plant was destroyed and didn't care that the city of Nineveh was spared.
