Summary
Jonah's anger at God's grace toward Nineveh reveals how disappointment with God stems from believing we know better than Him. The sermon teaches that trusting God's knowledge, plan, and character—rather than our own understanding—is essential to avoiding Jonah's destructive path of resentment and self-centeredness.
Highlights
At its basic core level, Jonah did not like how God handled the situation. Jonah believes he knows better than God.
My mind and my intellect are not the supreme thing in the universe. Your mind, your intellect, the way that you think things should be is not the supreme authority in life.
Much of the disappointment that you're facing in your life right now could probably point back to this same truth: you think you know better than God.
