What happens when you run from God—and finally run out of options?
In Jonah 2, we find the prophet at rock bottom—literally. Swallowed by a great fish and sinking in the depths, Jonah prays for the first time in the story. But this isn’t just a survival story. It’s a story about mercy, repentance, and the idols that quietly turn our hearts away from God.
In this message from Missions Pastor Chad Mason, we explore:
Why Jonah’s descent mirrors so many epic stories—and why his story is different
How the fish is not punishment, but mercy
What it means to cling to “worthless idols”
The difference between feeling sorry and true repentance
Why community is essential for lasting spiritual change
Jonah’s words remind us: “Salvation comes from the Lord.” Even in rebellion. Even in darkness. Even when we don’t expect to survive.
Scripture: Jonah 2
