Compassion: Jonah Series - Week 2

Week 2 — Message in a Bottle (Jonah 2:1-2, 9-10) 

Often, when we move toward the mess we start out with great intentions. We’ve answered God’s call with fervour. But, if the situation drags on, we can start to move on our own strength. It starts with God and gradually we forget he’s in it with us. This can often leave us feeling trapped and insufficient. Moreover, we can feel as though there is nowhere to turn. Usually it takes hitting rock bottom to remember to turn to God. But what if we remembered to turn to him earlier? What might happen if we sent our message in a bottle before it was an S.O.S.? This week we will explore what Jonah’s prayer to God, from the belly of the fish, can teach us about approaching the God of the second chance.
