Jonah: Running from God

The epic of Jonah is timeless. Throughout history people from all walks of life have been drawn to this story, but we believe the message of Jonah is prefect fit our present moment. Jonah’s exaggerated expressions and larger than life swings in mood will resonate with you. Jonah’s association with religion yet spiritual and racial bigotry will sound all too familiar to you. Jonah’s journey to the depths and the display of the LORD’s grace will invite you under the waters — the place where many of us still need to go.

In the first chapter of Jonah, the runaway prophet tries to flees the presence of the Lord by catching a ship to Tarshish. Pastor Trent opens the epic of Jonah and shares how the gospel is good news for those of us who have run from God.
