Before the Whale

Feb 14, 2021    Josué Zapata

We’re starting a new series this week by looking at one of the most well-known stories in Scripture, even in the secular world: the story of Jonah. Jonah was a prophet, tasked with speaking on God’s behalf, relaying His message to the people who needed to hear it. Jonah, however, had issues that would lead to him fleeing from God and His will rather than doing as commanded. Our responsibility is to share the love and grace of God with all peoples, and though it may not seem like it, it can actually be fairly easy to fall prey to Jonah’s mistake ourselves. What were the heart and mindset of Jonah as he took flight? How can we, in some ways, behave like Jonah? What issues do we have that we need to examine in our own lives? Despite any disobedience, God is still glorified. Watch as we examine the life of Jonah, and learn from his mistakes, as we begin our series.
