Faith Community Church Of Hopkinton

Jonah had a powerfully successful ministry: the whole city converted. Ninevah was in tough shape. Their nation had diminished in power, influence and reputation. A famine had struck the land so the people were suffering economically and physically. They were looking for hope and Jonah delivered it. The people jumped on the prospect of God's help and dedicated themselves to change. God proved Himself faithful once again. When they converted, He forgave them. Its amazing, God is eager to respond to our repentance. Jonah's ministry was wildly successful. A whole city relented from its evil. We're not sure what the 'evil' was but they relented. Did they deserve to be punished? Probably. Did they deserve mercy? No. But God's love in amazing. He turns enemies into followers. Ninevah is an example that anyone can turn to God if we give them the chance.
