All of us have had “turning points” in our lives, where the direction we were going suddenly changed, often dramatically. Turning points can be positive or negative – impacted by relationships, seasons of life events, or life-changing experiences. Today’s message on “REMEMBERING,” is the first of a five-part sermon series on “Turning Points in Life.” In our series, we will explore the stories of men and women of Scripture and see how God worked in each one of their lives to bring a “turning point.” We will see how this “turning point” left each one radically different as persons and how that experience gave their lives new purpose, meaning, and focus. Pastor Wallace begins today with the familiar story of Jonah and the whale. He lays forth the idea that there are two turning points in this story: one initiated by God and the other by Jonah himself. First turning point: God did not allow Jonah to drown. Second turning point: Jonah prayed and praised God! What was the turning point in your life that brought you back to God?
