Sermon for Lent Midweek Service, March 4, AD 2026

Jonah leaves himself in a place of complete helplessness and need. Here, in the dark belly of the fish, Jonah finds his place to pray. He finally prays. In that dark damp place Jonah finds that God hears him. God will not let him drown. At his lowest and darkest, from death and hell on earth, God was there. This finally moves Jonah to call on God in prayer.
