Introduction
Recap
Jonah running from God
Even if you’re not running from God don’t tune out.
We’ll see there is more to this passage than a water-logged prophet-turned-fish-food who finally apologizes before he’s digested.
God has you here today to hear from him.
Turn to the Word - read the passage
Jonah 1:17-2
A Dark Place (1:17)
What was this dark place like for Jonah
dark
fearful
stinky
hopeless
Maybe you can relate?
Our dark place may be God’s vehicle for salvation.
Our dark place may become our sanctuary with God.
Our dark place may ultimately be used to bring glory to God.
A Desperate Prayer (2:1-6)
Prayer in the Depths:
In the desperate prayer:
We have an outlet for our pain
it was an honest prayer
it was given to God not placed on someone else - God can handle it.
This is not always where we first go with our pain, but it needs to end up here
We put words to our fear, confusion, pain and bring it to the light
We have a place for God to speak
Our hearts and minds are reoriented to God
He can speak through his Word
Notice how Jonah’s prayer is drenched in the Psalms
The Word of God informs our minds and encourages our hearts.
A Decisive Change (2:7-10)
Return to God (7)
Return to Worship (8)
Return to Mission (9-10)
