Jonah: Redemptive Confinement - Jonah 2:1-9 - Pastor Jim West
Like many of you, my greatest seasons of spiritual growth have come in seasons of involuntary confinement, so I am deeply motivated to form my own practice of askesis in the days to come. Church, our feelings will not lead us to practice askesis. But without confinement, concentration, and a deep awareness of our limits, we can easily become a “Jonah”, no matter how noble our intentions.

Jonah: Faith in the Deep - Jonah 2:1-9 - Pastor Jim West
Jonah was in the deepest darkness. His soul was fainting away; but even there God made a way for Jonah to remember the LORD. God gave Jonah the gift of faith when he needed it most and deserved it the least.

Jonah: In the Deep - Jonah 1:15-17 - Pastor Jim West
There is a necessary dying that must take place before we will ever meet the LORD in the deep. It is a dying to self. It is a dying to our pride and our idolatry. It is a dying to our self-made, self-promoting, self-centered worldview. It is a necessary dying...and that’s exactly where Jonah is right now.

Jonah: Substitutionary Love - Jonah 1:10-16 - Pastor Jim West
If you know yourself to be saved…if you truly believe that you were bound for destruction in a storm of your own making and you were saved when Jesus took the dive on your behalf, then you will exceedingly fear the LORD. Love makes sacrifices. The call to substitutionary love is not optional for Christians; it defines Christians.

Jonah: Othering - Jonah 1:7-10 - Pastor Jim West
Take a good hard look into your identity. Listen carefully to the words that come out of your mouth. Be open to the possibility that you have an “othering” problem. Everything you hold dear is soon to be tested, and the test will reveal your true allegiance. Jonah is on the run from God. He has no intention of obeying God’s call upon his life to confront Israel’s enemy, that great city of Nineveh, with the news about God’s imminent justice and His offer of mercy.
