As we roll into the season of Lent, we are starting a series in the book of Jonah we’re calling Becoming a Person of Grace. This week we are in Jonah 1:1-17, which is all about running from God. Anyone who has decided to follow God seriously has come to a point where that commitment is challenged – where God commands something that we would rather not hear, and we are confronted with the choice to obey or to run. How do we become people who trust enough to run towards God rather than away? That will be our focus for this Sunday.
