Jonah Series Part 1: The God Who Sends | 28/9/25

Welcome to Part 1 of our 4-part Jonah Series! What happens when God calls you to do something you absolutely don't want to do? In this powerful opening sermon, Pastor Mark explores the story of the reluctant prophet who tried to run as far away from God's presence as possible. Discover how God sends His word, storms, and even big fish to pursue us with relentless love. This message tackles the uncomfortable truth that sin has consequences—not just for us, but for those around us—while revealing that God never gives up on His people. Whether you're running from a calling to missions, struggling with addiction, avoiding forgiveness, or simply resisting God's plan for your life, this sermon challenges you to stop running and surrender to the God who leads us to joy through obedience. Perfect for anyone wrestling with God's will, dealing with life's storms, or seeking to understand why obedience matters in the Christian faith. Join us as we begin this journey through Jonah's story with practical applications for modern believers and encouraging reminders that no storm is too big for our God. flbc.org.au
