In this sermon we come to Jonah 1:17-2:10 and a song of thanksgiving.  Our study of the text takes us on a departure from traditional Jonah sermons.  We look at the specific language of Jonah’s prayer/song, what he says, what he doesn’t say and the beautifully gracious actions of God.  We see that when God wants to show His mercy and grace to us, the undeserving are His only options.  In the greater context of the book of Jonah, this chapter shines a marvelous light on the free grace of God, which is the very heart of the book.
