About the series

The God who chases us down.

I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity.
Jonah 4:2

Jonah ran. He boarded a ship going the opposite direction, was swallowed by the sea and a great fish, and still God did not give up on him. The book is short, but its picture of mercy is enormous.

Across four Sundays in April we followed Jonah from the storm to Nineveh and into the uncomfortable question the story leaves us with, whether our hearts are as wide as the grace we have received.
