The Book of Jonah

The Book of Jonah

Reed Moore

Most of us know Jonah as the guy who got swallowed by a big fish. But Jonah’s story isn’t just about running from God—it’s about a God who never stops running toward us. In this 4-week series, we’ll discover how Jonah’s journey shows us God’s relentless mercy, His heart for people we might overlook, and the surprising ways He uses our lives for something bigger than ourselves. Whether you’ve been following Jesus for years or you’re still figuring out what you believe, Jonah’s story has something to say about yours.
