In this message, Philip Stroup examines the story of Jonah, focusing on the themes of obedience and God’s forgiving nature. Often, when we think about Jonah, we remember his reluctance to follow God’s command by going to Nineveh.

He encouraged us to build our spiritual foundation through personal Bible study,…
