Pastor Mike explores Jonah’s lowest moment—literally and spiritually—in the belly of a fish. Far from being the end of Jonah’s story, this dark place becomes a turning point for grace. The message highlights how God often does His deepest work when we are at our most broken, and that His grace is not reserved for the perfect but offered freely to those who cry out, even in desperation. Jonah’s flawed prayer shows us that even imperfect, self-centered prayers matter to a God who listens and responds with compassion. Ultimately, the sermon points us to the radical truth that Jesus meets us in our mess, carries our burdens, and offers new life—not just a second chance.  Read More
