The Boundless Compassion of God: Prayer, Despair, and Hope

Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld

Prayer is a language of life. It is the common expression of every culture and religion. Today Dr. John focuses on the prayer of Jonah. From watery billows and the depth of a fishy belly, Jonah calls out to God for the first time in this book. Like Jonah, the crisis we experience may be the call we need.

The Boundless Compassion of God: Holding two polar positions as one may feel like a tug of war. We may get pulled to one extreme or the other. God is both just and loving, with infinite measure and glorious perfection. How can He be merciful and holy towards fallen humanity? The book of Jonah presents that question through the life, action and words of the prophet. In this 10-session series, Dr. John calls us to a holistic worship of God. He also points us to the example greater than Jonah. Jesus is the prefection of righteousness and compassion.
