The Book of Jonah

The Book of Jonah
God’s Mission, God’s Mercy
Ever tried running from something God asked you to do? You’re not alone. Jonah did more than drag his feet—he bought a one-way ticket in the opposite direction. Yet, through storms, sailors, and even a giant fish, Jonah discovered what we all need to know: you can’t outrun God’s love.
This five-part series from Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., dives into one of the Bible’s most surprising stories—a prophet who said “no,” a city no one thought could change, and a God whose mercy refuses to quit. Along the way, we’ll wrestle with tough questions: Who are the “Ninevites” in our lives? How do we respond when God calls us to love the unlovable? And what does Jonah’s messy, unfinished story reveal about our own?
Join us as we explore Jonah’s story of rebellion and redemption—and discover the relentless mercy of a God who never stops pursuing His people.
