Secret Church 23: Jonah – Session 1: Jonah Flees the Presence of the Lord

About this sermon

Why did Jonah flee from the Lord's presence? What does this teach us about our own sinfulness? In this session of Secret Church 23 on Jonah 1, Pastor David Platt explains why Jonah ran away from the Lord in disobedience. He reminds Christians that God's Word is authoritative and that he is absolutely sovereign. He concludes this session by warning Christians to ground their identity in how God defines them instead of how the world defines them.
