Morning: Running to God

from The City Church · host Rhys Poore

In this message, we dive into Jonah 2 and discover a powerful picture of God’s grace in the most unexpected place—the belly of the fish. Rather than a place of punishment, we see it as a moment of rescue, where Jonah encounters the mercy of God in the depths of his failure.Through this passage, we explore three key shifts in Jonah’s journey:• From focusing on judgment to recognising God’s grace• From running away to abiding in God’s presence• From death to lifeThis sermon challenges us to reconsider how we respond in difficult seasons. Do we default to questioning God’s judgment, or do we recognise His grace at work—even in the hardest moments?Ultimately, we are reminded that just as Jonah was rescued, we too have been brought from death to life through Jesus. Our response is simple but powerful: to fix our eyes on Him by choosing to look, remember, and worship.
