Jonah: Runaway Prophet

Jonah: Runaway Prophet

Ever felt like running the other way when God asked you to do something hard? Jonah did—big time. Instead of heading to Nineveh, he booked a one-way ticket to Tarshish. But you can’t outrun God.

In this message, Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., unpacks Jonah’s story—the reluctant prophet, the raging storm, and the relentless love of God that pursues both Jonah and Nineveh. Along the way, we’ll wrestle with the tough question: Who are the “Ninevites” in your life? The people you’d rather avoid, ignore, or write off?

Key takeaways:

  • You can’t outrun God.
  • God loves your enemies as much as He loves you.
  • Sometimes storms wake us up.
  • God’s love is relentless.

Whether you’re running from God, asleep in the storm, or searching for hope—this sermon points to the God who never stops chasing after us.
