Jonah Series Part 2: Praising a Patient God in the Darkness | 5/10/25

In this awesome second instalment of our 4-part Jonah Series, our Children's Ministry Coordinator Mel takes us deep into Jonah chapter 2, exploring what happens when we finally stop running from God. From the belly of a fish at the bottom of the ocean, Jonah teaches us about prayer, repentance, and God's patient grace. This sermon examines how God listens even from our darkest moments—our rock bottom—and reveals the incredible truth that no matter how far we've turned away, our Heavenly Father is waiting with open arms. Through vivid imagery and the parallel story of the Prodigal Son, discover why praising God in the midst of our struggles matters, how to claim God's promises through faith, and what it means to surrender ourselves completely to a gracious and merciful God. Whether you're in your own "belly of the fish" or simply seeking to understand God's faithfulness, this message reminds us that our situations may be helpless, but they are never hopeless when we turn to the One who saves. flbc.org.au
