Week 2 - Jonah
RECAP - WHEN RUNNING FROM GOD:
It’s always down, There’s always a ship, It always costs, It hurts us and others, We never get what we want…
You end up
THE TRANSFORMATION OF A RUNNER:
Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish: I called to the Lord in my distress, and he answered me. I cried out for help from deep inside Sheol; you heard my voice. You threw me into the depths, into the heart of the seas, and the current overcame me. All your breakers and your billows swept over me. But I said, “I have been banished from your sight, yet I will look once more toward your holy temple.
The water engulfed me up to the neck; the watery depths overcame me; seaweed was wrapped around my head. I sank to the foundations of the mountains, the earth’s gates shut behind me forever!”… Jonah 2:1-6 CSB
“Then you raised my life from the Pit, Lord my God!” Jonah 2:6b CSB
“As my life was fading away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, to your holy temple. Those who cherish worthless idols abandon their faithful love.” Jonah 2:7-8 CSB
“But as for me, I will sacrifice to you with a voice of thanksgiving. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the Lord.” Jonah 2:9 CSB
