Book of Jonah, Pt. 1 – Running From God's PresenceJonah 1:1–17 | King’s Chapel Live StreamJonah’s story begins not with obedience, but with a prophet on the run. God called Jonah to go to Nineveh, but Jonah ran the other way—to Tarshish, away from the presence of the Lord.In this opening chapter, we see that running from God is always futile and dangerous, but turning to Him is life-giving and full of grace. Even in Jonah’s disobedience, God is sovereign, merciful, and just—using storms, sailors, and even a great fish to draw His servant back.Jonah 1 reminds us that there is a Jonah in all of us. We resist, we wander, and yet God pursues us with relentless mercy. His grace meets us even when we run, inviting us back to life and faith in Him.If you’ve ever found yourself running from God or struggling to trust His call, this message will remind you that His love is greater than your distance.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL- ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborJonah sermon, running from God sermon, King’s Chapel Longwood FL, Jonah 1 Bible study, God’s mercy in Jonah, reluctant prophet Jonah, Jonah and the great fish, book of Jonah explained, God’s sovereignty and mercy, gospel and obedience, turning back to God
