This past Sunday I preached on Jonah chapter two. I read a story at the beginning of the message about a man who was supposedly swallowed by a whale at the end of the 18th century and lived through the ordeal. Later Sunday night I went to the "Truth or Fiction" website to double check the truthfulness of the story. I found that the story is probably not true. My apologies as I should have checked the story before I used it. I found the story in an evangelical commentary, and unfortunately it also found its way into a number of other commentaries. I asked the sound technician to cut that section out of the version of the message that is currently on the web. In regard to the story of Jonah and the big fish, it remains a true story since it is both in the Bible and since God is a God of miracles, regardless of what is possible from a natural standpoint.
This next Sunday I continue in our series on Jonah and "THE MISSIONAL HEART OF GOD". I will preach through Jonah chapter three and address the question: "WILL WE GO?" Please be in prayer for me and for us as a church family as we continue to focus our attention on what it means to be missional at our core. The Lord Jesus cared for lost people and so should we. We must be about the business of the Great Commission both where we live and around the world. "Lord Jesus, give us your heart for the world."
