In court, a witness must have first-hand information. Hear-say is second-hand information and therefore not admissible.

Do we know how our story ends? How does Jonah’s story end? The book of Jonah leaves us with some questions. Today, Pastor Curt concludes the book of Jonah asking if we will have compassion on those who we think do not deserve it. After all, we didn’t deserve God’s favor either. Can we extend…
