The sermon uses the story of Jonah to illustrate that God's call on our lives is personal, purposeful, and cannot be escaped, even when we try to resist it. Jonah’s attempt to flee from God led to a downward spiral of disobedience and consequences—not just for himself, but for those around him—yet God pursued him with mercy and discipline. Pastor McKinley challenges listeners to recognize their own moments of resistance, encouraging them to stop running and instead embrace God's will, knowing that His plans are redemptive and far-reaching.
