The God Who Has the Right to Judge... (Jonah, Part 3) | Jason Staggers

This week we continue our four-part journey through the book of Jonah. The key takeaway of Chapter 3: Before we can truly value the good news of God’s mercy, we must first understand the bad news of His right to judge.

Using the response of Nineveh in Jonah 3, Ps Jason carefully unpacks why eternal judgment is a foundational doctrine, how a man-centred gospel produces only worldly sorrow, and why a God-centred gospel leads to genuine repentance.

If you are struggling to grasp how a loving God can also be just, wrestling with residual condemnation or a casual attitude toward the day of judgment, finding it hard to feel the weight of what Christ has already borne for you, or wondering how to lovingly warn others of what is to come, this message will both challenge and encourage you.
