Destruction And Deliverance: Dual Outcomes Of Sodom And Gomorrah Series

Here we see the dual outcomes of Sodom and Gomorrah - we see God’s judgment on sin and at the same time His mercy on Lot because God knows how to rescue the Godly from judgment.

Last week we spoke from Genesis 18. We are reminded about how important our involvement is in the plan of God and how God works in and through our lives to accomplish His will.

Jonah failed to understand the compassionate and merciful nature of God. We as a church must know the heart of God and be actively involved in sharing the good news of the gospel and inviting those outside to be part of God’s Kingdom.
