In this episode of "Hope in God's Word" podcast, Gill and Liz embark on a new study exploring the Book of Jonah. This often perceived children's story is uncovered as a profound narrative about God's character, mercy, love, grace, and forgiveness. The episode delves into Jonah's reluctance and disobedience when asked by God to deliver a message of repentance to the evil city of Nineveh, illustrating how his life mirrors our own struggles with God's instructions.
The hosts bring to light the historical context, Jonah's connections to the Old Testament, and his life's irony as a prophet who runs from God's presence. By examining Jonah's story, the discussion reflects on themes of fear, trust, and divine guidance, encouraging listeners to find hope and reassurance in God's relentless grace and second chances. Gill and Liz invite their audience to discover personal insights, questioning how they respond to God's callings in their lives.
Join Gill and Liz as they study Jonah's journey, revealing that no matter how far we stray, God's love and mercy persistently pursue us, offering redemption to all who turn back to Him.
