How do we know that God uses disobedient prophets?
Answered in 1 source
God's use of disobedient prophets demonstrates His sovereignty and His capacity to fulfill His purposes despite human failure.
The narrative of Jonah reveals that even when we fail in obedience, God remains sovereign and accomplished His divine will. Jonah attempted to flee from God's command, showing that disobedience does not thwart God’s plans. In fact, God used Jonah's rebellion to display His mercy and power. As explained in the sermon, God sent a great storm to redirect Jonah, ultimately leading him back to the task of proclaiming His message of repentance to Nineveh. This serves as a strong reminder that God’s purposes prevail regardless of human shortcomings; He is the Lord of history and will accomplish His redemptive work through whatever means necessary.
