Scripture is full of "but God" moments. Humans do something foolish and God responds by intervening in a wonderful way. But will that be the case for Jonah, who has rebelled against God and is trying to flee from his presence? It may not seem so at first, as God sends a storm after him, but this sermon on Jonah 1:4-16 explores how the storm was actually a mercy from God, meant to win unbelievers to himself and arrest Jonah's flight.
