Unhitched: The Book Of Jonah

In Unhitched: How God's Church Must Connect to God's Nature, Nate Holdridge will explore how the modern people of God need to hold orthodox views of God-just like Jonah did-but also reflect God's nature to a lost and broken world. Jonah knew God was gracious and merciful, but he was unwilling to reflect God's character to the nations. Like a train car unhitched from the engine, Jonah was unhitched from God, and he desperately needed to reconnect himself so that he could be a good representative of God to this world. This brief study of the entire book of Jonah will present God as the main character of the book.
God is the one who sent Jonah, showed grace to his rebellious prophet, demonstrated compassion to the people of Nineveh, and patiently trained Jonah. And God's main desire was for Jonah and Israel, as well as every subsequent reader of the book of Jonah, to hitch up to God's nature, to represent him well to a lost and dying world.
