Saving Nineveh


by Rev. Derek P. Elphick

Type of Event: Worship Service: Sermon only

Date Recorded: November 12, 2023

Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The book of Jonah is about the spiritual welfare of the great city, Nineveh. Will Jonah be convinced that Nineveh is worth saving or will he just sit outside the city and sulk? Why was Jonah so reluctant to go to Nineveh in the first place? And why, after the people of Nineveh demonstrated a willingness to repent, was Jonah still angry? What does “Nineveh” represent in our lives? There are times when we deem certain situations or circumstances irredeemable, not worth saving, but then the Lord presses us to reconsider, saying, “should I not pity Nineveh, that great city?” (Jonah 4:11).
