The Gospel According to Jonah: Running From Grace
The story of Jonah is much more than a fun story about a big fish. Jonah shows us that everyone runs from the grace of God. Whether in outright rebellion or self-righteous religion, we all run. But in Jonah we also see a God who chases his rebellious people down and overtakes them with an unrelenting love. Breaking common preceptions of this story, "The Gospel According to Jonah" opens our eyes to the gospel of grace in Jesus Christ, who indeed is the true and better Jonah.
