In the ethics of modern worldliness, hating people is a virtue. But not for Jesus. Sin is what He hates, and He teaches us here that those who belong to Him practice a very counter-cultural ethic of love: a love that puts others first, a love that does not expect anything in return, and a love that even extends to those who are your mortal enemies. In short, we are to love in a way that demonstrat...

Preacher: Cody Floate Text: Jonah 1-2 The book of Jonah is intended to be a revelation of our Lord Jesus, particularly as it pertains to his descent into death and his  resurrection on the third day.
