Jonah 2:1-2

In Matthew 12:40, Jesus says, "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so must the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Learn how the story of God's reluctant prophet anticipated the far greater ministry of Jesus, a Savior who offers the gospel of repentance freely to the Gentiles!

In this 4-part devotional, Pastor Dylan Dodson teaches through the book of Jonah. This plan will help you see God’s faithfulness, and that no one is beyond His grace and mercy.

Jonah’s story reminds us that God’s compassion extends to both the prideful prophet and the wicked unbeliever. Despite all of Jonah’s resistance and hard-heartedness, God’s merciful message of repentance was still delivered to the Ninevites. The Ninevites' repentance shows us nothing can thwart God's plans of redemption.

The more I study Jonah, the clearer it is to me that there is wisdom to strengthen and grow marriages today. From Jonah's disobedience to God as the story begins all the way to the lessons he receives about compassion as the book closes, I think you will see how these principles can help you as a couple deepen your connection and overcome your marriage challenges.
