Listen "Safe: Obey | Jonah 1-4"
Episode Synopsis
📖 “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” – Proverbs 18:10(NIV)Jonah ran from God, but he couldn’t outrun His mercy. When a storm raged and the sea threatened to destroy him, God didn’t let Jonah drown—He preserved him in the belly of a great fish. What looked like punishment was actually protection, and what felt like a prison became Jonah’s place of prayer, hearing, and obedience.In this message, Pastor Josh shares from Jonah’s journey and shows us that:God’s storms are often His mercy, designed to bring us back.Our purpose is not found in our gift but in our obedience.Grace often shows up in the place of our greatest discomfort.Just as Jonah was preserved three days in the fish, Jesus was preserved three days in the grave—so we might be safe forever in Him.🔥 Key Themes:A. Jonah Prays (Jonah 2:1)B. Jonah Hears (Jonah 3:1)C. Jonah Obeys (Jonah 3:4–5, 10)Even when Jonah disobeyed out of anger and hatred, God was patient, merciful, and compassionate—not only to Nineveh, but also to Jonah himself. His story reminds us: it’s never too late to run back to God.👉 Scriptures: Proverbs 18:10; Jonah 1–4; 1 John 5:3; Matthew 12:39; Romans 5:19👉 Series: SAFE – exploring God as our refuge through the storms, seas, and struggles of life.💬 Drop a comment: Where have you experienced God’s mercy in the middle of your “storm”?Support the show
