The Jonah Effect

This week Pastor Henry helps us to remember that even when we feel like running away from our challenges or God’s calling, He is always present, ready to guide and restore us. The Book of Jonah reminds us that no matter how far we try to run or how deep we try to hide, God’s grace and mercy are never out of reach. Let’s embrace the opportunities to confront our fears, trust in God’s presence, and stay committed to the path He has set before us, knowing that His strength will carry us through every storm we face. Keep your heart open to His leading, and be encouraged that God is always working for your good, even in the toughest times.

 

Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,  “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before me.”  But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the Lord. - Jonah 1:1-3 (ESV)
