Jonah | The Runaway Prophet
The book of Jonah may be short, but it’s one of the richest four chapters in the Bible. At the center of the book is God's unexpected heart for those who are furthest away from him. As we spend this season reflecting on the mystery of God's mercy, our prayer is that God would continue to grow our heart for everyday mission as a church.
