The Storm You Can't Outrun

Jonah • Week 2

Our disobedience doesn't affect only us; God can use disruption as an act of severe mercy.

Jonah 1:4-16 (ESV) • Pastor Daniel Hicks

This passage is full of contrasts worth sitting in: Jonah asleep while everyone else is desperate. Pagan sailors praying while the prophet stays silent. A man who claims to fear the God who made the sea, trying to escape that same God on the sea. And while Jonah hardens, the sailors soften, moving from fearing the storm to fearing and worshiping the Lord.

The whole series.

Jonah ran from God, and God pursued him anyway. Over five weeks, we're walking through the book of Jonah: a runaway prophet, a storm, a fish, a city that shouldn't have gotten a second chance, and a God who won't let go of any of them.

Coming up next week

Jonah wasn't rescued from the fish. He was rescued by it. Sometimes the place that feels like the end is where grace finds us. Jonah 1:17-2:10.
