Thrown Overboard, Swallowed by Mercy | Day 171

Day 171 | 2 Kings 14:1-14; 2 Chronicles 25:1-24; 2 Kings 13:12-13; 2 Kings 14:15-16, 23-27; 2 Chronicles 25:25-28; 2 Kings 14:17-22; 2 Kings 15:1-5; 2 Chronicles 26:1-21; Jonah 1:1–4:11The book of Jonah is far more than a story about a giant fish—it’s a piercing look into the heart of a reluctant prophet and the mercy of a God who loves even the most wicked. Jonah runs from God’s call, faces a terrifying storm, and ends up crying out to God from the belly of a fish. When he finally obeys, the people of Nineveh respond with stunning repentance—from king to cattle—and God spares them. But Jonah, still bitter, reveals a heart out of step with God's compassion. This episode is a sobering reminder: God loves all people, even our enemies, and His mercy always outruns our pride.Hosts: Michael Pritchard, Derek EwaltVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
