Mid-Week Sermon
Henderson First Assembly of God
Title: "Offended"
Scripture Focus: The Book of Jonah
Jonah obeyed God’s call, but his heart was far from aligned with God’s compassion. Instead of celebrating Nineveh’s repentance, he complained. He was angry, bitter, and offended at how God showed mercy to people he believed didn’t deserve it.
Join us as we examine how offense and complaint can creep into our hearts—even in the midst of obedience. This message challenges us to let go of entitlement, embrace God’s heart for others, and rise above a spirit of offense. Let’s learn from Jonah’s struggle so we don’t repeat it.
Key Takeaways:
-
The danger of being obedient in action but bitter in heart
-
How offense can cloud our view of God’s justice and mercy
-
Complaining to each other vs. surrendering to God’s purpose
-
Why God's compassion is greater than our expectations
Come ready to be challenged and changed as we dive into Jonah's story—not just the fish, but the fight in his heart.
