Jonah Pt. 27 Jonah's Meltdown

Christ Church IL Season 13 Episode 27

In this powerful conclusion to our Jonah series, we see the prophet consumed by anger over a withered plant—while remaining indifferent to the fate of 120,000 people. God’s pointed question to Jonah cuts deep: "Should I not be concerned about this great city?"

This passage forces us to examine:

  • Our priorities – Do we grieve minor inconveniences more than the spiritual needs around us?
  • God’s heart – How does His compassion challenge our selfishness?
  • Crises as turning points – Like an Olympian facing defeat, will we choose bitterness or growth?

Jonah’s story ends abruptly—leaving us to answer the question he refused to: Will we embrace God’s concern for the world, or remain trapped in our small frustrations?

Reflection: When has God used disappointment to give you greater perspective? Share your thoughts below.
