Man on the Run

Joel Wood // September 29 2024

This sermon is meant to provide an introduction to the book of Jonah by helping us to understand who Jonah was and what was taking place in history at the time of Jonah’s life. This sermon is also meant to show how Jonah’s response to God’s call exposes our own sinful hearts. We all hear God’s call, whether it’s to believe in Him or change how we’re living for Him. However, left to ourselves we all disobey God’s word, seek to escape his presence, and reject his authority over our lives. We are all JONAH and in desperate need of God’s loving and relentless pursuit of us. And like JONAH, we have a message to take to an unbelieving world because God’s heart is for all nations.

Jonah 1:1-3
