In this second sermon we come to the meat of Jonah chapter 1, studying 1:3-1:17.  In it we see Jonah’s journey “down.”  We learn that when we run from God, our only option is “down.”  Jonah seems to bear the weight of his decision to flee from the LORD and its accompanying emptiness and depression.  However, the safest and most joyful place for us to be is in the will of God.  God pursues Jonah, and us, to this end.
