GBG Jonah: The depths of grace
The story of Jonah and the big fish is one of the most famous in the Bible: but its message is perhaps one of the most ignored. It's a story about storms and sailors, rebellion, and rescue, preaching and protest. And it's a story about one reluctant evangelist's experience of speaking to people who knew nothing about God. So its message has great relevance today for God's people, living in an increasingly non-Christian culture.
Jonah's story will encourage believers who find themselves ill-equipped to share God's message with colleagues, friends and family: and will deeply challenge our priorities in life. Even more so, this is a story about God. The book of Jonah reveals to us the depths of God's grace - His compassion for the lost and His patience with His wayward people.
