This morning we were in the belly of the whale. In his sermon entitled, "The Downward Spiral," Kevin pointed out how Jonah's physical journey mirrored his spiritual state: He descended the mountains of Gath-hepher to Joppa... Got in a boat and then went into the depths during the storm... and into the belly of the whale. Meanwhile, his spiritual state reflected a downward spiral of sin as well. Kevin took us to James 1:14-15, talking about the spiral of temptation, desire, sin and eventually rebellion.
But the good news for Jonah, and us, is that as long as we're alive, we have unlimited second chances. Just like Jonah, we were reminded that the first step out of the downward spiral is on our knees. More about second chances next week as Jonah gets spit up!
