Jonah is not just a story about a giant fish swallowing a man. It's a story about God. And more specifically, it's a story about God's relentless pursuit of grace towards us as we run from Him.In this opening sermon, we find that Jonah has set up boundaries in his heart; limits on how far he will go to obey God. Often we have a plan for our life, but God interrupts those plans. They seem arbitrary, or even as punishments, but we can know that this is not the case. We also hear a testimony from Pastor Ted Lawler who is the President of Breath of Heaven Children's Village in Zambia, Africa, and the way God brought him to service in Africa.
