Jonah  

 

It's highly unlikely that you've confessed your sin to the Lord while trapped inside a large fish. . . but that's what the prophet Jonah had to do.  This Sunday we will see confession as the way to freedom, regardless of how trapped we are by our sin.

 

 

Jonah Chapter 2

 

Luke 11:29-32

God's Word  

 

 

From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. He said: "In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. From the depths of the grave I called for help, and you listened to my cry.

 

Jonah 2:1-2
