We are jumping into a new series on Jonah. The book of Jonah isn't primarily about a fish--it's the story of a faithful God pursuing a wayward heart. Through Jonah, we will learn together about God's relentless mercy for everyone. Sometimes God sends storms not to punish us, but to rescue us.
God's grace is relentless, reckless, and does not discriminate. Maybe that's why we love it for ourselves, but get frustrated when it is offered to others we feel are less "deserving". This week, Pastor Karla has us engage with Jonah as he pouts about God being slow to anger and bountiful in love. z
