Decisions Part 1

Kicking off this new series from the book of Jonah, Pastor Pete compares the life of Jonah with the life of Jesus.

Unlike Jonah, Jesus lived a life of perfect obedience—He never disobeyed God, never gave up, and never abandoned His followers, even when they abandoned Him. As He hung on the cross, forsaken by those closest to Him, He remained faithful, dying for them anyway.

The good news is that even if you see more of Jonah than Jesus in your own reflection—marked by disobedience or running from God—there is still hope. Jesus Himself mentioned Jonah by name, alongside great prophets like Elijah, Elisha, and Isaiah, showing that God can use even the most reluctant servant.

As seen in Luke 11:30, Jonah became a sign to his generation, just as Jesus is to ours. No matter your past, God still has a plan for your life, and in the coming weeks, you’ll see how He can work through someone who made some of the worst decisions—and still fulfill His purpose.
