Grace Beneath The Waves

Just as coal must be crushed to become a diamond, there’s a brokenness we must learn to be useful to God. When Jonah came to the end of himself in the belly of the great fish, he prays a beautiful poem. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller points out four pivotal moments of Jonah’s prayer. God-ordained trials might just be our redemption. This month’s special offer is available for a donation of any amount. Get yours at moodyoffer.com or call us at 1-800-215-5001.
