The Dangerous Cost of Your Spiritual Pride

Would you rather drown or repent? Jonah 1 reveals that we often would rather sink into the abyss of our own pride than surrender. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller exposes the dangerous pride of Jonah and the fierce mercy of a God who refuses to let us self-destruct. It took a random lottery at sea to expose Jonah's heart. This is part two of the sermon, "The Lord of the Storm."
