Jonah Week 3

Sometimes God's rescue does not initially look like rescue.

Jonah 1:17-2:10 (ESV) • Pastor Rob McDowell

Here's the reframe worth sitting with: Jonah isn't rescued from the fish; he's rescued by the fish. It's not the punishment. It's the provision. His prayer from inside it reads less like a plea to get out and more like gratitude for not drowning.

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.
