Jonah 2 | Salvation Belongs to the Lord | Jared Lyda

This sermon continues our series in Jonah chapter 2. After running from God’s call, Jonah finds himself trapped in the dark—buried in distress and unable to save himself. But in that place, he is met by the mercy of God. We explore how Jonah returns to the presence of God, how his prayers are shaped by the Word of God, and how he comes to treasure the grace of God in a new way.Jonah 2 reminds us that even when we flee or feel stuck, grace knows how to find us. If you’ve been running, drifting, or hiding, this passage calls you to return. To God’s presence. To His Word. And to His grace.Key Themes:·Storms of Mercy: God's storms aren’t punishment—they’re grace. (Jonah 1:17; 2:3)·Prayer in the depths: Jonah’s lowest moment becomes his turning point.
